  • Forum posts while viewing topics
  • Forum posts while viewing the Posts tab in profiles
  • Forum topics while viewing the Topics tab in profiles
  • Status updates and replies
  • Comments made in any application which uses the standard comment skin templates

Hi greate mod,

IPB 3.3.4 version is compatible?

The way this mod works relies on the formatted HTML structure of posts that the CKEditor in IP.Board 3.4 brings, I can't rely on this working properly on earlier versions of IP.Board.

Quite an interesting hook. Could come useful for my site as my users always ask the meaning of specific terms we use while troubleshooting problems.

Is it possible to enable or disable the hook in specific forums? For example i have a total of 12 categories on my board and only 4 of them would need something like this. Can i restrict the hook to work on these four forums/categories only?

Currently you could give them restricted Admin CP access to the page where this is managed. If you want to manage these words from the front-end, that's a major change. You'd want to submit that to the tracker as a new suggestion.

You can currently show the link to the wikipedia entry now if you wanted. If you're wanting the text of that article pulled in automatically, that's not very likely. In order to make that work, some service unique to wikipedia would need written. While that is certainly possible, it would only work for wikipedia, and if I did that then people would want similar things for other sites, like dictionary.com, imdb, amazon, etc. Different services would need to be rewritten for each of those.

Michael, to do the Wikipedia integration you can use this script: http://wikipedia-api-script.com/

I prefer not to give CP access to any user, regardless of permission. Please consider adding this functionality to your hook as it would greatly extend its reach.

Like I said, though, if I add that to pull wikipedia content, then others are going to ask for similar functionality for other services. This app wasn't written with the idea that it would pull this content from any place other than the info you are providing it.

Michael,

I want my users to be able to contribute. This Tooltip hook would be very useful to me if you create an interface for a selected usergroup to be able to add key words and the description.

I meant for you to add the functionality I requested on my first post on this thread. I really would like to see that. I don't really care about the Wikipedia.

I believe wikipedia idea is quite good actually.

Don't throw this out just yet Michael :) you can make an exception for that. and if other people want to pull from somewhere else - charge them for the initial introduction and programming and later include it in the app for everybody. end of story. win-win.
