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).

Check under your AdminCP settings.  Default length is 200 chars, but can go up to 255 if you're using MySQL.  If you wish to go higher, you can change the column type in the threads table to TEXT.

a few users on my forum are reporting this error when trying to post in a thread

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::parse_message() in /home/.mima/pazrt/pazrt.com/forum/inc/plugins/threadtooltip.php on line 174

I think you're going to have to test without plugins, then add them one by one to see if it's a conflict somewhere.  It's definitely not an issue on that line of the plugin however.

plug in refusing to work for me i have it enabled and everything still not showin

I would guess this may be due to template modifications.  Does it work on the default theme (with no template modifications)?

And please don't forget to run the Recount And Rebuild process for the Rebuild Thread Tooltips.

What effect does it have on server? Does it make server more busy?
