bot_admin_tooltips
This plugin allows to add fancy tooltips to the admin interface using Craig Thompson’s qtips.
While completely useless for your self-managed website it can be useful indeed to show customized instructions for your clients.
Features
- Generated tooltips can be customized in background, border and text color.
- By default standard txp “pophelps” are hidden but can cohexist with the plugin
- Tooltips can be activated on click (default) or hover.
- Tooltips can be associated with almost every page element under the “content” tab
- Tooltips accept html and recognize line breaks (for faster text insertion)
- Tooltips anchors have a class so can be customized via css
- glz_custom_fields compatible
Installation
Download contains three files:
- The plugin
- The jquery qtips plugin
- The licence for qtips
Upload qtips in a location of your choice (defaults is in “js” directory)

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I’ll check how to make bot_cf_titles to load before bot_admin_tooltips, as I’m running plugins from plugin_cache_dir. I think it’s just a matter of “cleverly” renaming files.

Hi Maniqui,
Sadly yes, you are right.
I’ll look into it ASAP but for now changing bot_cf_titles loading order should fix the problem (bot_cf_titles must be loaded before bot_admin_tooltips).

Hi bot,
thanks for sharing another nice plugin.
May it be possible that this one isn’t playing nice with bot_cf_titles?
After adding a tooltip to a custom field (already titled by bot_cf_titles), the tip doesn’t show, and in the space where it should be showing the [?], I just get a duplicated title (ie. “my cf title my cf title”).
It seems to work fine for other un-titled fields, like article url-only-title).
Thanks.

Hi,
I’ll see if in the future I’ll be able to add these features. Unfortunately I have no free time at all these days…
Anyway, for your first request you can try to export and re-import in a new site the bot_admin_tooltips table using phpmyadmin.
The only issue could be if you have some tooltips associated with a custom field which doesn’t exists in the new site. To circumvent this problem you could set a basic set of of tooltips in a test site, export it and keep it as a starting base for all your future sites. It should work ok.

First, I love this plugin. It will work really well for several of my clients.
A feature that would be particularly useful is the ability to import tips from a SQL or text file so that I don’t have to recreate these custom tips for every client.
Another feature that would be nice is if it could pull the existing tips from rpc.textpattern.com if I just wanted to use the default.
Thanks for the good work!
