Announcing Tippy 3.0.3
July 15, 2008 – 2:43 pmI am releasing a major update to Tippy today. In many ways this new plugin is a downgrade but I think the changes will be good.
With version 2.0.0 of Tippy I introduced several new features, including the ability to have multiple tooltips, movable tooltips, and resizable tooltips. As far as I know no one ever used those features and it only complicated the code, causing me to pay attention to things that I wasn’t even using.
With version 3.0.0 I have removed the extra features and am keeping the tooltip pretty basic but very usable.
The biggest new feature is that the tooltip now will fade in and out rather than disappearing immediately. This adds a bit of flexibility to what you can do since users are now able to interact with the tooltip contents without you having to make the tooltips static: See this extra data
You also now have the ability to specify whether or not to display the header with the tooltip: header on header off
If anyone wanted the features available in the 2.x series I can send you the source.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, columcille@gmail.com

Hello. I love Tippy. Thanks very much for it.
I do need the features available in the 2.x series, and I’d like to request the source code.
I found 2.0 here, but it doesn’t work with WP 2.6. Is there a way to merge the features of 2.x and 3.x?
Thanks again!

I am pondering reintegrating some of the features and making them more part of a default set of options. With Tippy 2.0 the features were there but the whole thing was a little clunky. I have an idea in mind of how to better integrate all the features without making things more difficult for users. Perhaps I’ll bring it all together in a 3.5 version. I’ll post something if I decide to do this.
