user permission (messages and tooltip)

[Eagle Eye]

Hello

1) How can we show a tool tip on images, if the user is not logged in, or does not have the required permission (like on V@no’s site )

2) What code should be added to the home page, template, so that if the use is not logged in, we can show a specific message (like login and have fun etc…) and if logged in, then another message....

I know it must have been discussed here in the forum, but I am not able to find it here, please hint me if any,

Thanks

No. 1 : It could be done by implementing a JS script from http://www.dynamicdrive.com .

No . 2 : I like this idea. However, it can easily be done by going into your lang/<your_lang>/main.php file and add a new array on top of your "?>" tag. Then, register a new array into your index.php file. Finally, you can use the : {welcome_message} tag on your template/<your_template>/home.html file like this :

Code: [Select]


{ifno user_loggedin}
{welcome_message}
{endifno user_loggedin}


Note: The {Ifno ...} MOD must be installed.

Note: As a personal alternative solution, I use the Another Simple Publishing News MOD as I have already intergrated a welcome message for GUEST level into the homepage and it works perfectly.

1) I'm using http://www.walterzorn.com/tooltip/tooltip_e.htm script, its a very much cross-browser compatible and rediculousy easy to use and install
Just add in thumbnail_bit.html template into your <img> tag:

Code: [Select]

{if user_loggedout} onmouseover="return escape('whatever message you want to be showed');"{endif user_loggedout}

2) A little addition to TheOracle answer: you also can use {if user_loggedout} .... {endif user_loggedout} tags without needed installing additional mod.

Please excuse me, i did not find any <img> tag in thumbnail_bit.html just {thumbnail} 

[V@no]

ops...its actualy whatever HTML you have around {thumbnail}.
For example I'm using tables, so I added inside <td> tag. You might have <div> so add it inside of it.

Coool!  got it working!!!

Actually I am using a 7dana template with the thumbnail column selection on mouse over, so deicide it this way

Code: [Select]

<td align="center" class="thumb"  {if user_loggedin}onmouseover="this.className='thumb2'" onmouseout="this.className='thumb'"{endif user_loggedin}{if user_loggedout} onmouseover="return escape('Please register/login to view this image!');"{endif user_loggedout}>
{thumbnail}<br />
Thanks

... very nice feature ...
... but the script must insert immediately before the closing </body> tag ...
... and that is the reason of a long loading time of the website in MSIE not in FF ... also of gallery.vano.org ... ! ... 
... but if all visitors of your websites use FF ... than ok ...

... but the script must insert immediately before the closing </body> tag ...

yes, I put it in footer.html

... an that is the reason of a long loading time of the website in MSIE not in FF ... also of gallery.vano.org ... ! ... 

Its not caused but this script, its probably by the JS that I use to give PNG alpha transparency support on IE6, which scans the entrire page for .png files..cant wait untill IE7 is finaly out!

[mawenzi]

... Its not caused but this script ...

... but on my testsite and on walterzorn.com itself ...
... it is the different way of MSIE and FF to show a website ... FF begins directly ... MSIE begins after getting all infos ...
... and if such a script lies in the footer, there is a long time of loading the website in MSIE ...

hmm...what if you leave only the tags were you are planning to use that javascript on:

Code: [Select]

//////////////  TAGS WITH TOOLTIP FUNCTIONALITY  ////////////////////
// List may be extended or shortened:
var tt_tags = new Array("a","area","b","big","caption","center","code","dd","div","dl","dt","em","h1","h2","h3","h4","h5","h6","i","img","input","li","map","ol","p","pre","s", "select", "small","span","strike","strong","sub","sup","table","td","th","tr","tt","u","var","ul","layer");
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////In my case I only using it on <TD> tag, so I've replaced it on:

Code: [Select]

var tt_tags = new Array("td");See if it helps

P.S. would like to see your test site

var tt_tags = new Array("td");See if it helps

Nice tip! anyway i seem to be not having problems in loading time.... and this script is a light one, maybe like V@no said, its due to his other JS scripts..
Thanks guys

... for using the tooltip only for "No Permission"-Images or "Image-Name / No Permission"  / "Image-Name" ...
... you can try this : http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=11270.msg58414#msg58414

@V@no
... after installing the tooltip script this site works also slower ...
... and another slow working site you can find ... here below ...

[TheOracle]

Thanks for the tip Mawenzi. However, this line :

$no_permission = (!empty($show_link)) ? "" : "Für dieses Bild musst du eingeloggt sein !";

should be put under $lang in case other languages modules are installed and, in addition, more users would like to  implement this feature.
