Tooltips on links and menus?

[Rex Alexander]

Sat 8 Jun 2013, 9:40 am

Maybe I misunderstood what this plugin is supposed to do. I want to assign tooltips to links (like the category links) and menus. I don’t have much interest in having them inside posts and pages. Is it possible? Did I get the wrong plugin for what I want?

Also, I see posts here about customization and features that are no showing upon in my CP. All I have are Tooltips > All Tooltips & Add New.

Add new just takes me to the editor for adding a standard tooltip to posts. That works fine. But I don’t any other controls or features.

Obviously I am missing someting. Isn’t there a tutorial?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you want to add new tooltips, you can click add new sub menu and you will open the editor at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=tooltips, the keyword of this tooltip is your “post” title and the content of the tooltips is your “post” content, when the keyword shown in your normal post, when mouse hover your post, the content of the tooltips will be shown.

About setting, if you hope use customezation feature, you can do it like below:

in Tooltip Style sub menu, you need select tooltip style box
from default to customized, and click update now button. Then your setting
in ”
Tooltip Box Customize Setting” box will begin working.

A example of customied setting will like this:

Tooltip Box Customize Setting Box:
Tooltip Box Width:350                 Tooltip Box Background: #E5FFFF
Tooltip Font Color:#000000         Tooltip Box Postion: topMiddle
Tooltip Text Align:Left                 Tooltip Box Padding: 10
Tooltip Class Name:                 Tooltip Border Radius:        3
Border Width:        3                  Tooltip Border Color:        blue
Tooltip Show When: Mouse Over   Tooltip Hidden When:         Mouse Over

Or maybe you selected a default style? If so everything is pre-setting,
but you can change stylesheet file to control it. Or if customized options
in tooltips style is not enough, you can control everything via Stylesheet
File Of The Plugin too.

Although we have many default style for our tooltips, also users can
customize their style on customized style control panel, but we offered
another way to help users to customize style in a stylesheet file, if you
activated the tooltips pro plugin please check your page source you will
find the tooltips.css is loaded on the page:

< link rel="stylesheet"
href="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/tooltips-pro/tooltips.css"
type="text/css" media="screen" />

also if you open the tooltips.css, you will find some commented codes just
as a reference, you can easy to control all of your stylesheet, just try
to add a tooltips in plugin menu, and then you can try to add a code in
tooltips.css, for example like this one:

classtoolTips0 {color: red !important;}

on the front end you will find the keyword of the tooltips has been
changed the color red, by this way you can customize your all elements of
tooltips keyword, tooltips content, tooltips box…, and so on, thanks.

So you can control all width, color… and so on of anything.

Please note:
1: if you choose customization option at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tooltips&page=tooltipssettings, it means you will control all element of your style, if so you need fill all value in all fields on this sub menu and click save changes button

2: If you hope show tooltips in menu, you need update your setting in “Optional Settings” sub menu, please note maybe it can not works with some themes, thanks.

Best Regards,
Tomas

hallo tomas,
thank you for the long explanation- it seems that my theme is the wrong one for menu-tooltips, while the rest works fine
