Extension talk:Tooltip/Archive

Example Sites?
Any sites using this that we can have a look at? Thanks --Dr DBW 05:28, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Our company internal wiki is using it. However, the site is behind a wirewall. I am not aware of any other sites using the extension. --Gri6507 13:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Could this be somehow combined with glossary extension?
Idea: Tooltip combined with Glossary -extension Contents of glossary extensions tooltips are displayed in same way like tooltip extension. This way you don't have to place tooltip tags and text to every term because glossary extension could take care of that. ie. Glossary extensions searches for words which contains explanations in glossary page and contents of glossary page is shown in tooltip. ie. tag that glossary extension creates is replaced with tooltip tag.

 * I'm not sure at which point the Glossary extension came around. However, that's not really important. What is important is that the Glossary extension seems to have a superset of the functionality of this extension, including the tag, albeit the implementation of the tooltip is different.
 * So, let me see if I understand your question. Are you trying to make this extension coexist with the Extension:Glossary? --Gri6507 12:44, 14 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What I really want to do is make glossary words searched in a same way that in glossary extension and tooltip open in a same kind of window like in tooltip extension . --JuhaV 06:31, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

A few remarks
Nice extension, but I have a few remarks:
 * 1) It seems that the x-offset cannot be negative (the y-offset has no problem with that). I don't know why, looked into the code, but could not find a bug. Still, if I define a negative offset, it doesn't seem to work (increasing the subtracted value on line 76 of the extension code does work, however... beatsme!)
 * 2) I found that the tooltip will go nicely over the toolbox (in a standard mediawiki installation), but dive under the navigation pane! I fiddled with the z-index on line 52 of the extension code, but to no avail.
 * 3) Not all browsers support alpha transparency. IE6 for example, will show a solid blue background if you use the image that is suggested. This is of course not the fault of the extension, but maybe it should be mentioned anyway.
