DescriptionWith Tooltips you can use a simple syntax to give any piece of text or image a nice and simple tooltip. You can create these tooltips virtually anywhere in your site. So not only in articles, but also in modules and components. SyntaxThe syntax simply looks like: {tip Tooltip Title::Tooltip text}...{/tip} Editor ButtonYou can use the editor button to place an example tooltip tag. StylingThe default styling is based on the tooltips used in the Joomla administrator, with the adition of some CSS3 styles like border radius and a shadow. There are several styling options in the Tooltips plugin settings. You can customize other elements via css. It's best to overrule styles by adding definitions to your templates stylesheet, so your custom styles don't get overwritten when updating Tooltips in the future. OptionsTooltips is packed with options, giving you control over how the tooltips look and behave. Here is a small list of what you can control via the Tooltips plugin settings:
Mootools CompatibilityTooltips uses the Joomla core mootools and tooltip scripts. Some templates and extensions use there own javascript library which can cause conflicts with the core mootools script. Beta VersionTooltips is still in beta. This means it is pretty new and options and functionality might change quite a bit before its stable release. ExamplesTooltip with title and textHover here to see tooltip {tip Cool...::This is a tooltip!}Hover here to see tooltip{/tip} Tooltip with only textHover here to see tooltip {tip This is a tooltip!}Hover here to see tooltip{/tip} Tooltip with rich textHover here to see tooltip {tip You can use bold, italic, underlined text. Tooltip with imagesYou can even make images show in the tooltips and use this - for example - as a gallery:
{tip Or simply place the html in the {tip} tags, instead of the large images, like: {nocdn}{tip <img src="/images/stories/fruit_1.jpg" height="150" width="200" />} SpecsSpecificationsTooltips is a Joomla extension compatible with Joomla 1.5, Joomla 1.7 and Joomla 2.5. The extension consists of:
RequirementsTooltips will only work correctly if your setup meets these requirements:
Using PHP 5.2 (or lower)? I can not provide support for setups that do not meet the above requirements. The core Joomla files should of course not be altered in any way. InstallationThe easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager. If you have problems installing Tooltips, please try the manual installation process as described here: Otherwise, please report this on the forum or let me know via the contact form. UpdatingIf you want to update to the latest version, you do not have to uninstall first. The easiest way to install/update is via the NoNumber! Extension Manager. You can also update simply by installing the package via the Joomla core installation process. DowngradingIf for some reason you need to downgrade, it is best to uninstall the extension first. Also, you will have to uninstall the NoNumber! Framework plugin (system) (and the NoNumber Elements plugin if you have it installed). After that you can simply install the older version zip file. Please note that I cannot not provide support on older versions! Open Source LicenseTooltips is an Open Source Joomla extension. It is in compliance with the GNU/GPL license: Joomla is also Open Source.

Note: If you don't want to pay for the License Code and want to continue to use the extension for free, please do. You will just have to ignore the license message in the administrator. Note: If you have donated before and feel you should get some reduction on the price, please contact me about it... we'll sort it out :)
