ftw.tooltip 1.0.3

Introduction

With ftw.tooltip you are able to dynamically add tooltips to every DOM element, which is selectable by jQuery and allows the title attribute.

Installing

Add ftw.tooltip to your buildout configuration:

[instance]
eggs =
  ftw.tooltip

Import ftw.tooltip default profile.

Usage

Basically you have to register named ITooltipSource adapters. They will be queried by a view, which generates the necessary JS code.

There are two example tooltip-source adapter, to show how they work

• Static text example.

• Dynamic text example, which reads the title attribute of the selected DOM element.

You can load both examples on your site by register the following adapters:

>>> from ftw.tooltip.demo_tooltip_source import (DemoStaticTooltipSource,
...    DemoDynamicTooltipSource)
>>> from zope.component import provideAdapter
>>> provideAdapter(DemoStaticTooltipSource, name="demo1")
>>> provideAdapter(DemoDynamicTooltipSource, name="demo2")

Or if you are using zcml:

<adapter
    factory="ftw.tooltip.demo_tooltip_source.DemoStaticTooltipSource" name="demo1" />
<adapter
    factory="ftw.tooltip.demo_tooltip_source.DemoDynamicTooltipSource" name="demo2" />

• “demo1” puts a tooltip on #portal-logo.

• “demo2” puts tooltips on every global-nav element and show the given title attribute as tooltip.

Example

It’s easy to define a new ITooltipSource adapter. The following example will show a tooltip “This is the edit bar” only on folderish types (check global_condition) and of course only if “documentEditable” css class is available:

>>> from zope.component import adapts
>>> from zope.interface import implements, Interface
>>> from ftw.tooltip.interfaces import ITooltipSource
>>> from plone.app.layout.navigation.interfaces import INavigationRoot
>>> from Products.CMFCore.interfaces import IFolderish

>>> class EditBarTooltip(object):
...     """Base demo static tooltip source. Use a given text"""
...     implements(ITooltipSource)
...     adapts(Interface, Interface)
...
...     def __init__(self, context, request):
...         self.context = context
...         self.request = request
...
...     def global_condition(self):
...         return bool(IFolderish.providedBy(self.context))
...
...     def tooltips(self):
...         return [{
...             'selector': u'#edit-bar',
...             'text': u'This is the edit bar',
...             'condition': 'div.documentEditable'}]

Register the adapter with ZCML:

>>> <adapter
...    factory="your.module.EditBarTooltip" name="my_edit_bar_tooltip" />

You may want to use your own tooltip layout: Just register a BrowserView named “ftw_tooltip_layout” and return the tooltip layout you prefere.

Or you can fully customize the tooltip paramters by register a BrowserView named “ftw_tooltip_custom_config” - check jquerytools documentation for more details.

Small customization example:

{
    offset: [-10, 10],
    position: 'right center',
    opacity: '0.7',
}
