Hi there,

This looks like an interesting item. I have tried to get it
working, but I have not had any luck with it. I am not
getting the icon to show up on the page.

What config/ install steps are we needing?

Thanks!

hi simpleupdates,

the installation is the usual way of installing a plugin in
fckeditor:
copy the folder 'infopopup' into the plugin directory of the
editors directory.
then add the line
FCKConfig.Plugin.Add('InfoPopUp', 'en,de')
to your fckconfig.js-file (or your custom configuration file).
Add 'InfoPopUp' to the ToolbarSets i.e.:
FCKConfig.ToolbarSets["Default"] = [
['Style','FontFormat','FontName','FontSize'],
['TextColor','BGColor'],
['About','InfoPopUp']
] ;
That's all to implement the plugin into fck.
The provided Javascript is needed in the files where you
want to use the infopopups (generated/edited by fck), it
handles the display of the layers.
The provided css is just an example of styling the
infopopup-layers with css but of course some properties are
obligatory: an absolute top/left-position as default
position, visibility set to 'hidden'.

best regards,
thomas

Thanks for your help!

I now have the icon in, and it brings up the window. When I
enter text, and apply it, I get:

undefined
<em>Hi</em> This is a test

In the Source view, I see:
undefined
<div class="infopopups"
id="infopopup200617114513"><em>Hi</em> This is a test</div>

So, I am not sure what to do next. I don't think the class
is being defined anywhere...

Thanks for your time!

whats up with that undefined value? did you select some text
before hitting the infopopup-toolbar-button? just to make
clear how it works: you select some text which will be
displayed as a link. on rolling over the link, the infopopup
is displayed, on rolling out it disappears again...
so you make a selection in fck and hit the infopopup-button.
then you enter the text for your infopopup. when you hit ok,
the plugin inserts
a) your selected text with an anchor-tag, including
onmouseover- and onmouseout-handlers with js-functions.
b) your infopopup-div at the end of the complete text in fck.
the infopopup-div needs some css in your document or in a
separate css-file. take a look at the infopopups.css. there
is the css-class defined for the infopopups.
additionally, the provided js-functions (infopopups.js) have
to be implemented in your document.
take a look at
http://www.schloss-ringenberg.de/schloss/transistor.php to
see it in action.

regards,t.

I'm testing this plugin and so far the first problem is the
'undefined' that replaces all the previous content.
The problem is that the GetHTML function was deprecated but
there's a bug: it doesn't return anything. The fix is to add
the missing "return" in FCK.GetHTML at fck_1.js
FCK.GetHTML = function( format )
{
return FCK.GetXHTML( format ) ;

or change the call in the plugin from GetHTML to GetXHTML

Now it adds the html, but in IE it gives an error whenever
the mouse passes over the link, and nothing happens in Firefox.
In both cases the comment appears at the end of the editor
as the plugin doesn't load the css.

(I'm talking always about the editor, not about the page
where the info will be shown later)

I'll try to see if I manage to make this work because it
looks interesting.

hi alfonsoml,
concerning the js-error in IE you are right, nothing happens
in the editor window when rolling over an inserted
infopopup-link. if you want to display the comment-box
behaviour (like on the resulting page) in the editor itself
you have to adapt the js-functions and manipulate the css
for the comment-boxes in fck. i set the comment-boxes fixed
after the complete text-content and visible to make it
possible to edit them without having to call the plugin
again...
to completely remove the inserted code has to be done in the
source window, so the plugin misses a clean delete
functionality.
concerning the 'undefined' value, i can't reproduce this
error... tried only IE.

hi,
I have tried this plug in by making some changing, first of all the functions of hide and display div was not working at all in seperate js file.

But the problem now is this, there is no error dispaly in IE but the function don't behave properly. Moreover If i copy the source code from FCKeditor and place it in seprate file, it works.
However if i comment the code in the show and hide functions of div and insert alerts this will works fine In IE but not in firefox.

If any one can help me out will be greatfull.

Hi,

This functionality is just what I've been looking for! Unfortunately, it doesn't always retain the original text formatting. Here's an example:

If I have this in the edit window -

ABCD
EFGH

source view -

<p>ABCD</p>
<p>EFGH</p>

Now, if I select CDEF and add a comment I end up with this:

AB
CD EF
GH

source view -

<p>AB</p>
<p><a onmouseover="showInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" onmouseout="hideInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" class="infopointer">CD EF</a></p>
<p>GH</p>
<div class="infopopups" id="infopopup1076142637">A comment!</div>

It should do this, to keep the formatting intact:

<p>AB<a onmouseover="showInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" onmouseout="hideInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" class="infopointer">CD</a></p>
<p><a onmouseover="showInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" onmouseout="hideInfoPopUp('infopopup1076142637')" class="infopointer">EF</a>GH</p>

Another example:

<strong>ABC</strong>DEF

Selecting ABCD will eliminate the strong tags completely.

Any idea what it might take to fix this? I'd be happy to help with testing...

Thanks,
-Ann
