    • problem with mouseover window

    Posted by cornopean posts: 37 United States

    The popup window thing in the wiki is great. You can set the wiki to display some text when you mouse over the word. The problem I am having is that the popup window appears in the lower right corner of the screen about six inches away from the word. Is there any reason for this? Is this a bug? Is there a fix?

    Here is an example. Wave your mouse over the word "tikiWhat great software this is.".

    Ok.....in this forum, the mouseover thing works fine. Is it possibly a theme issue?

    It could be a theme issue. What theme are you using - one of the available themes, or a custom theme? Is your site public so it can be checked?

    Ok...I changed themes and that fixed the problem. I was thinking today about the tiki model and it seems to me that Tiki should make sure that every theme that comes with a new install works. I find that some of the pre-installed themes don't even work. One theme, turned my screen completely white, and I had to request my host to please reset the theme for me since I couldn't see to do anything. The other themes wouldn't show the tables in my wiki or the horizontal bars.
    It seems that the tiki model is supposed to eliminate these integration failures.

    At any rate, I love my new tiki site, so thanks for the assistance. Hope my comments are useful and constructive.

    In Tiki7 I have tried multiple themes, including fivealive, and for entries in the left panel the mouseover window is always displaced down and to the right by roughly 300 pixels for a fixed width. If the width is not fixed, the mouseover window is placed correctly in the X direction, but still displaced by ~300 pixels down.

    For the right panel I can't see the mouseover window at all, but from the odd behaviour of the horizontal scroll bar, I suspect it is being positoned somewhere far to the right.

    The exact same code works correctly in Tiki6 for both left and right panels.
