 Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:09 pm Post subject: Mouse Over Pop Up Image |
 |
|
This little hack will create a little popup window when you run your mouse over a certain word or image, like below
Before
Once Mouse Is Over Link
Ok here is HOWTODOIT
Please remember to use the Editor account before making any template changes, If you have not made an editor account yet please read HERE
Second you must have all ready a template you can edit.
If you have not done this please read HOWTODOIT
1. Goto admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Edit Templates/Logos -- the template you wish to edit (EG myff_howtodoit1)--- Submit
Now look at the top in the area marked Choose Forum template/javascript/css File to Edit use the drop down bar and find
overall_header.tpl
Now find
After place this code
| Code: | <script type="text/javascript">

// avoid error of passing event object in older browsers
if (nodyn) { event = "nope" }

2. Goto admin panel --- 3. Styles --- Edit Templates/Logos -- the template you wish to edit (EG myff_howtodoit1)--- Submit
Now look at the top in the area marked Choose Forum template/javascript/css File to Edit use the drop down bar and find
viewtopic_body.tpl
Now Place This Code Where you wish it to appear.
| Code: | | <a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br> |
For this example i placed it under my location, so it could look like this
| Code: | | <td width="150" align="left" valign="top" class="{postrow.ROW_CLASS}"><span class="name"><a name="{postrow.U_POST_ID}"></a><b>{postrow.POSTER_NAME}</b></span><br /><span class="postdetails">{postrow.POSTER_RANK}<br />{postrow.RANK_IMAGE}{postrow.POSTER_AVATAR}<br /><br />{postrow.POSTER_JOINED}<br />{postrow.POSTER_POSTS}<br />{postrow.POSTER_FROM}<br /><a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br></span> |
Which would show it as in the pictures at the beginning of the guide.
If you wish it to appear in your profile like below
Then place this code below , where you wish it to appear
| Code: | <td valign="top" align="right" nowrap="nowrap"><span class="gen">My Game Card:</span></td>
<td> <b><span class="gen"><a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br></span></td>
</tr> |
Ok all that done you now need to customise it for your own forum.
So here is HOWTODOIT
1. The popup box is controlled in the overall_header.tpl code that you put in, so all the edits you will find in the overall_header.tpl.
To make the box smaller or bigger find
| Code: | // Be sure to set tipWidth wide enough for widest image
var tipWidth= 360; |
Change 360 to suit your needs
Changing image and text
Find
| Code: | messages[0] = new Array('http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg','FunnyWorld Is Coming Back Click The Link',"#FFFFFF");
|
Image = http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org...unnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg
Text = FunnyWorld Is Coming Back Click The Link
color of text = #FFFFFF
Change to suit your needs
Ok all that done , you should now be looking in either viewtopic_body.tpl or profile_view_body.tpl depending where you placed the second code.
| Code: | | <a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br></span> |
Link = <a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org"
Text = Funny World
Change to suit your needs.
Ok the last part of this guide explains how to add more than one .
1. Goto overall_header.tpl
Find the part of the code like this
| Code: | | messages[0] = new Array('http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg','FunnyWorld Is Coming Back Click The Link',"#FFFFFF"); |
Copy and paste that just below but you must remember to change the [0] to a different number each time an example is below.
| Code: | messages[0] = new Array('http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg','FunnyWorld Is Coming Back Click The Link',"#FFFFFF");
messages[1] = new Array('http://www.farnboroughinvincibles.co.uk/templates/myff_farnboroughinvincibles1/images/minilogo.jpg','farnborough Invincibles',"#FFFFFF");
messages[2] = new Array('http://forum.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_forum4/images/myff_anim.gif','MYFF ',"#FFFFFF"); |
Now as before open up either profile_view_body.tpl or viewtopic_body.tpl and place the following code as before
| Code: | | <a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br> |
And change the link and text as shown above but remember to change the
to a number that matches in the overall_header.tpl
For example the event number must match in both overall_header.tpl and in the code above
An example is here
Popup window 1
Overall_header.tpl
| Code: | | messages[0] = new Array('http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg','FunnyWorld Is Coming Back Click The Link',"#FFFFFF"); |
Viewtopic_body.tpl or profile_view_body.tpl
| Code: | | <a href="http://funnyworld.myfreeforum.org/templates/myff_funnyworld3/images/funnyworld5.jpg" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,0)" onmouseout="hideTip()">Funny World</a><br> |
Popup window 1
Overall_header.tpl
| Code: | | messages[1] = new Array('http://www.farnboroughinvincibles.co.uk/templates/myff_farnboroughinvincibles1/images/minilogo.jpg','farnborough Invincibles',"#FFFFFF"); |
Viewtopic_body.tpl or profile_view_body.tpl
| Code: | | <a href="http://www.farnboroughinvincibles.co.uk" onmouseover="doTooltip(event,1)" onmouseout="hideTip()">farnborough invincibles.co.uk</a><br> |
You can see a finished example here
