The SimpleTooltip extension adds support for basic tooltips. It uses the Tooltipster Library to do so.

It has no dependencies on other extensions. The extension has explicit support for Page Forms, where tooltips within multiple instance forms will get created dynamically. This will not work with the "info" parser function provided by Semantic MediaWiki.

Installation

• Download and place the file(s) in a directory called SimpleTooltip in your extensions/ folder.
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SimpleTooltip' );
  

• Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Configuration

Currently there are no options supported. This may change due to demand or not.

Usage

There is a short alias and a more descriptive parser function name for each tooltip type.

{{#tip-text: text | tooltip-text}}

{{#simple-tooltip: text | tooltip-text}}

{{#tip-info: tooltip-text }}

{{#simple-tooltip-info: tooltip-text }}

{{#tip-img: /path/to/your/image.png | image tooltip-text }}

{{#simple-tooltip-img: /path/to/your/image.png | image tooltip-text }}
