    Another extension by Jazzman. This one will show a tooltip when you mouseover a user-link on the comments page. Just like gmail's tooltip.

    Download: UserInfo Tooltip 1.0

    You can easily extend it to fetch account0links on other pages. For example, if you want to enable it on the discussion list, just add 'index.php' to the in_array function in the default.php. I didn't use it there because there are too many account links. People would easily mouseover it and will get annoyed with the tooltip :)

    Demo on my website: http://www.jazzman.nl/forum

    Brilliant! Jazzmachine: Can your next add-on be one that populates a new forum with a set of believable but totally randomly generated witty and popular characters and a host of insightful conversations?

    I like hosting it a home, as I can just develop on my windows machine and use samba to connect to a share :) The only thing that's stopping me for developing faster is the refresh of the forum pages... :)

    Hey LookHere... that could be useful. Maybe an extension that auto-creates discussions based on an RSS feed. This way you can download news, and people can add comments to it :)

    Yeah, that does sound useful. Like a newsagg that takes a feed and makes news articles commentable. Not what I meant, but I am a genius, so I claim it ;-)

    Great addon Jazzman, thanks for all your hard work!

    And that auto-creating a discussion from an RSS feed would be great as well!

    great work, jazzman. thanks for another great extension.

    have any idea why the emails wouldn't be showing up on the tooltip? everything else shows fine, just the email is blank on all users ( even the ones that have it enabled ).

    thanks again!

    :)

    Nice work Jazzman. I think I found a little problem though... When I move my cursor while hovering the tooltip reloads constantly. I'f I keep moving my mouse the tool tip will never load.

    video example here

    p.s. I'm using safari I don't know if that makes a difference.

    @phaded: I've developed this extension on my server with Friendly URL's installed

    @a_j: it's an exact copy of the account page (same control). However, users can set an option if they want to show their email address or not.

    @AssProphet: got a fresh windows install, but no Quicktime yet... Gonna install that asap :)

    Yeah, I figured it was... but for some reason it's not displaying the email addy's of the member who have the display enabled, nor is it displaying "n/a" on those who don't. Email field is just blank on all the tooltips.

    Hmmm....only problem I see is that when its near the bottom of the page - or very long - it gets cut off and you cannot scroll down without making it disappear. Perhaps a little patch will fix this right up?

    Can't wait to try this out on my site! Cheers.

    I've got to agree with phaded here.. I've got the extension installed and activated, but nothing happens when one mouses over a username in a discussion.

    Vanilla 1 here, not using Private Accounts, though I do require registration to get access to the forum.

    Just thought I'd add that when my girlfriend tested it on her computer for me, she got a popup that was a mini version of the entire thread, and that it wouldn't go away...I've since disabled it, but I'd still love to have it, so yeah.

    Hi,

    It's a great extention but I have changed the style
    from "default" to "soulscape" and it stoped working.
    Any idea what the problem can be? Or if anyone can post
    what their config is?

    Thank you!

    Can we manually change the settings, so the extention to work with "soulscape"?

    I think the problem lies in the CSS "position: relative/absolute". I create a div at the page_end which is used to overlay when you mouse-over an account link, but maybe some wrapper overrules the position-tag. It could also be the problem that the fetching-mouse-coords function doesn't work properly. When I'm going to update my extensions again, I will test it on different themes.

    i've encountered a small problem with this plugin (not very important but i thought i'd post it).

    if someone embeds a youtube video, the tooltip pops up behind it.

  11.  # 39
    make the youtube video have wmode="transparent" in the embed tag
    that will fix it

    btw what are u using to embed youtube

    BBInsertBar with one of my little tweaks and a bunch of clever coding from Bergamot and SirNot.

    Are their any negative effects from always using that in the embed tag?

    i don't think there are any negative effects.
    Youtube embed code from their site already uses it. just Sirnot extension doesn't. to add this to Sirnot extension as well

    I tried it using the default template as well as soulscape; IE7 as well as Firefox but it just doesn't display :(

    Any reasons you can think of that might cause it in this extension?

    All of you that may (or already have) come across this addon, and can't get it to work: try the new(er) UserInfo addon from Fyorl. It may need (his) MooTools addon as well.
