Announcing Tippy 3.2.0

Chris — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 15:43:45 +0000

Tippy 3.2.0 has been released to the world. It should show up in your WordPress installation once the plugin repository updates.

Just one change in this version, perhaps the most-asked-for feature: UTF-8 support. Let me know if you have any issues with it.

Find more at the Tippy page.

Announcing Tippy 3.1.2

Just released Tippy 3.1.2 to fix a glitch with IE8. Please let me know of any browser issues you have, but be sure to mention what browser/version you use.

If you already have Tippy installed and run WordPress 2.5 or above you should see the update in your Admin panel once the WordPress Plugin repository updates. Otherwise get it from the Tippy page.

Well hello

My plugins have been neglected for a while but I’m finally releasing an update for Tippy. Version 3.1.1 (should) fix an issue with tooltip position in Chrome and Safari 4.

Announcing Tippy 3.1.0

Just released a new version of Tippy. The only change here is a new option to enable/disable fade. Some users might not want the fade effect so it can now be turned off in the options.

Announcing Tippy 3.0.3

Chris — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:43:19 +0000

I 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

WordPress ESV Plugin, Tippy Plugin and WordPress 2.5

Chris — Mon, 19 May 2008 12:48:47 +0000

I had previously mentioned on the ESV Plugin page that the plugins only partly worked with WordPress 2.5. Since then I have tried it out some more and have not had any trouble with the plugin itself.

There is the possibility of quirky behavior if you use the visual editor, the esvbible tag, and you have the esv plugin process your posts when you save them. Even then the problem only shows up when you edit posts you had previously saved. The visual editor likes to reformat links so it might interfere with links generated for inline or block passages. This problem is not new with 2.5, it has always been present.

New WordPress ESV and Tippy Plugins

Chris — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 18:10:15 +0000

Announcing WordPress ESV Plugin 3.2.1 and Tippy 2.0.1. Both updates contain minor bug fixes. There was a problem with IE users that the tooltip set to display on hover would fail to display. I try not to growl at Microsoft too much, but the problem was with IE failing to recognize valid CSS and Javascript. The change should work now, at least with IE 7. Any IE 6 users out there, please let me know if it fails to work.

There were a couple of other minor glitches that were my own fault.

I’ve had one report of a strange problem that I haven’t yet been able to track down. One user reported that when he installed the plugin he no longer had access to his admin tools. I have not been able to duplicate the issue. Has anyone else had the problem? Please let me know what version of WordPress you have installed, whether you installed both Tippy and the ESV Plugin, and what web browser/browser version you were using. Thanks!

I’m sure you all can find them, but I forgot to link to the plugin pages:
