Image description popups and Firefox...

[Rodinou]

the problem is not here gaugau !

The problem is 50ko for only replace ALT ... it's abused. That's all.

Other scripts do the SAME thing but there do only 5 ko ! With the 45ko ... you can do other things ... that's all.

[Joachim Müller]

I agree that there are other scripts that can do the same, however with having overlib on your page, you can do loads of other things with it. Why don't you post the alternatives (i.e. let's see some actual code from you instead of lame nagging)?

[Rodinou]

I have begun to work on it ... the script I use is ... 3,3 ko ... for the same thing

I have put this on functions.inc.php but I have a parsed error ... and the line said is 1845 ... so the end of the script : not very practice to find the error

  GauGau calm down man if people want to whinch about this stuff its fine by me 

I exchanged some pm's with Rodinou and see here the code that will make him happy.

Ok, it's just a short bit of code and I am not going to write the fully detailed description of how to do it as I have limited time today and it is the same as above....

The new code (this is the new function part that goes into the functions.inc.php file):

Code Select Expand


// Return the popup info for a picture
function get_pic_popup(&$pic_row)
{
  global $album_date_fmt, $lang_display_thumbnails, $lang_byte_units;

  if ( $pic_row['title'] == '' ) {
    $title = $lang_display_thumbnails['filename'].$pic_row['filename']."<br />";
  } else {
    $title = $lang_display_thumbnails['title'].$pic_row['title']."<br />";
  }
  if ( $pic_row['hits'] ) {
    $hits = $lang_display_thumbnails['hits'].$pic_row['hits']."<br />";
  }
  if ( $pic_row['pic_rating'] ) {
    $pic_rating = $lang_display_thumbnails['pic_rating'].$pic_row['pic_rating']."<br />";
  }
  if ( $pic_row['votes'] ) {
    $votes = $lang_display_thumbnails['votes'].$pic_row['votes']."<br />";
  }
  $popup_text="<dl>" .
              "<dt>" . $title.$hits.$pic_rating.$votes."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['filesize'].($pic_row['filesize'] >> 10).$lang_byte_units[1]."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['dimensions'].$pic_row['pwidth']."x".$pic_row['pheight']."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($pic_row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt)."</dt></dl>";
  return $popup_text;
}

Insert in the template file that you are using the following code:

Of course a simple:

Code Select Expand

<script type="text/javascript" src="tooltip.js"></script> would look better but that is upto you.

Drop the following picture in the images directory: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex5/arrow2.gif

[Rodinou]

I test it as now

But warning

Code Select Expand


  $popup_text="<dl>" .
              "<dt>" . $title.$hits.$pic_rating.$votes."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['filesize'].($pic_row['filesize'] >> 10).$lang_byte_units[1]."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['dimensions'].$pic_row['pwidth']."x".$pic_row['pheight']."</dt>".
              "<dt>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($pic_row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt)."</dt></dl>";
  return $popup_text;
}

The "Good" Code would be

Code Select Expand


  $popup_text="<dl>" .
              "<dd>" . $title.$hits.$pic_rating.$votes."</dt>".
              "<dd>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['filesize'].($pic_row['filesize'] >> 10).$lang_byte_units[1]."</dd>".
              "<dd>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['dimensions'].$pic_row['pwidth']."x".$pic_row['pheight']."</dd>".
              "<dd>" . $lang_display_thumbnails['date_added'].localised_date($pic_row['ctime'], $album_date_fmt)."</dd></dl>";
  return $popup_text;
}

<dt></dt> is used for example, if you want to put a title (or the filename) as title of your popup.

However, I have a parsed error ... the "TOP" (even if I have understood, today, you have no time) to put "in a "SAME POST" all the updated code : it prevents from having errors . At least, you have forgotten the CSS code

[MillieJOBarreto]

I'd like to know how to GET RID of the image description popups (on any browser).

I am unable to post a new topic here, so this topic seemed a little more appropriated than the others...
