Thread Tooltip Preview

Displays a basic preview of a thread in forumdisplay/search in a tooltip.  The tooltip acts like any standard tooltip - it will be shown after the mouse is hovered on the table cell containing the thread title.  (will also do it for thread title text itself if the user is not a moderator, in which case, the "click and hold to edit" will override the thread tooltip)

This will also display a tooltip preview for the last post, when the user hovers the mouse on the last post cell in forumdisplay/search (note, this doesn't work for the forum index).

Note: this plugin assumes that you're using the UTF-8 character set everywhere (which MyBB somewhat assumes anyway).

As there are clearly a lot of people who don't read the above, I will say this differently.  This DOES work for moderators and administrators, however you need to hover the mouse on the TABLE CELL for it to appear (not the actual thread link).

Then you have nothing to worry about.

It never queries for the first/last post, so I'm not sure what you're talking about.

I mean two variables : $thread['postpreview'] and $thread['lastpostpreview'].

The code has a variable $query which get firstpost and lastpost from the database right? After that, cut off its length based on user's options in ACP.

I've just comment the modifying of template has variable $thread['lastpostpreview']. Now it works fine as I want

Oh, you're referring to the cache rebuild?
Why would you want to change that code?

Because I don't want to get the last post for preview.

To which I've stated you won't get it if it's never displayed.
I don't understand why you wish to edit cache rebuild code.

Because I get it - The last post preview displayed in my mybb!  I'm using custom tooltip, and full div mybb style (Not traditional mybb table).


Nevermind it anymore, I've removed the $thread['lastpostpreview'] from display. So it will be never displayed.

But now I have new question. How should I do to display the tooltip preview for unicode ?

For example :

Here is my post

Quote:Trước bar Barocco, nhiều vụ cháy lớn tại Sài Gòn đều do sự bất cẩn của thợ hàn. Trong đó, xỉ hàn gây ra thảm họa cháy Trung tâm thương mại quốc tế ITC vẫn còn ám ảnh người dân dù đã xảy ra từ hơn chục năm trước.

But when I hover on thread it only display

Quote:Trước bar Barocco, nhiều

Althought, I set the length is 200.

I think, this issue came from unicode character. How could we make it display correctly ?

If you're using UTF-8 encoding, you can replace all instances of

Code:

"\xA0"

---

with

Code:

utf8_encode("\xA0")

---

[Destro]

PHP Code:

utf8_encode("\xA0")

---

It's working like a charm, my friend! Thanks for your help

I installed, activated, but I have no previews of the threads. What further actions should I apply to make previews appear? I don't even see the therad icons on which I could hover my mouse, maybe should I enable them anywhere?

In fact I see some tooltips, but I see no preview images in them.

Are you asking for images to appear in tooltips?
If so, images won't appear - browser tooltips only allow unformatted text to be displayed.
