Can I disable mouseover preview of topics?

[David N.]

Is there a way to disable the preview that pops-up when you leave your mouse over a topic title when you're inside a forum?

No, there's no specific setting to disable it. You can either edit it out of the template or have a plugin made to disable it. Going the plugin way will keep your templates unedited and any future updates to it will automatically apply, which is what I usually suggest.

 

If you want to edit the template thought just find this code in "forums > front > forums > topicRow" (line ~113):

<a href='{$row->url( "getPrefComment" )}' class='' title='{{if $row->mapped('title')}}{$row->mapped('title')}{{else}}{lang="content_deleted"}{{endif}} {{if $row->canEdit()}}{lang="click_hold_edit"}{{endif}}' {{if $row->tableHoverUrl and $row->canView()}} data-ipsHover data-ipsHover-target='{$row->url()->setQueryString('preview', 1)}' data-ipsHover-timeout='1.5'{{endif}}{{if $row->canEdit()}} data-role="editableTitle"{{endif}}>

and replace it with (basically remove the data-ipsHover attributes):

<a href='{$row->url( "getPrefComment" )}' class='' title='{{if $row->mapped('title')}}{$row->mapped('title')}{{else}}{lang="content_deleted"}{{endif}} {{if $row->canEdit()}}{lang="click_hold_edit"}{{endif}}' {{if $row->canEdit()}} data-role="editableTitle"{{endif}}>

Great, thanks a lot for the detailed answer, I appreciate it!

That worked great. Thanks again.

I duplicated the theme and edited the original, so that users can still choose to see the previews if they want! 😀

I actually just submitted a quick plugin to disable the topic preview. It's pending approval here in the IPS Marketplace and already available on my site:

 

The plugin has only a setting to exclude certain forums, not themes though. Maybe I'll consider it for a future version.

Wow you're fast! That's great. 

I think if you're making a plug-in then ideally (if possible) it should have a simple switch for users to turn the preview on or off in their account settings. That way one doesn't have to create two themes just to change that setting.

Yeah, I was thinking I'd add a member setting to let everyone choose rather than excluding specific themes. Otherwise you'd have to duplicate all the installed themes. 😅
