Hover over words and show a small text popup

[johnbroome]

Hi All,

Here is a screen shot of this in use in wordpress itself but I would like to use in on www.paaudiovisual.co.uk. So I can hover over for example a technical term like "DAC" or "streaming" and it will explain more.



My aim is to find one that is Wordpress friendly and therefore easy to install.


Cheers,


John

Hi John,

I use the cluetip jQuery script in the DCG settings page. It's not that hard to implement and you can see how I do it in the relevant DCG plugin files, in includes/dfcg-admin-core.php (though, to be honest, my implementation is a little clunky in places...).

In overview:
1. Enqueue the script itself and its CSS file
2. Create the function script file and enqueue it in the footer (see wp_enqueue_scripts() )
3. Add the relevant markup to your in-post links
4. Add the popup content in appropriate markup in your post.

Before you begin, however, do a search on WP Extend as someone may well have developed a plugin for this type of thing already.
