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).

If this is your forum URL:

It works for me.

If you are login as Administrator or Moderator, hover the table cell, not the thread link.

Table cell = the box.
But if you've pointed everywhere, then it obviously doesn't like you.

well i've hovered the mouse over "the box" and still don't work

could you tell me if the template is well edited?

Here is the screenshot:
   

Hover around the <td> (the table cell) where the thread title laid, but not the thread title (if you are login as Administrator or Moderator).

[Glas]

oh you're right, it works

i will try to figure out how to make it show instantly without the need to hover the mouse

is that even possible?

Thanks for all the patience ><

You can put {$thread['postpreview']} variable directly in your forumdisplay_thread template for the first post, and (if you want), {$thread['lastpostpreview']} variable for the last post.

There is a setting group for how many chars should be displayed.

Hello...I am using this plugin but I need to hide the tooltip that shows the users last post when you hoover over the "last post" in the thread list.  See the screen cap below:

Find and delete the following:

PHP Code:

'<td class="{$bgcolor}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;">' => '<td class="{$bgcolor}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;" title="{$thread[\'lastpostpreview\']}">',

---

PHP Code:

'<td class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;">' => '<td class="{$bgcolor}{$thread_type_class}" style="white-space: nowrap; text-align: right;" title="{$thread[\'lastpostpreview\']}">'

---

PHP Code:

'<td class="{$bgcolor}" style="white-space: nowrap">' => '<td class="{$bgcolor}" style="white-space: nowrap" title="{$thread[\'lastpostpreview\']}">'

Thanks, Zinga...that seems to have fixed the issue.  I like the preview but it was showing answers to other members in my hidden trivia forum forum!  I wish I could have eliminated it from just several forums but I know that probably isn't possible.
