Image Popup does not popup

posts: 758 United States

Dear folks, this is something that has had me stumped for some time now, I have tried many things, and different browsers, and I have gone through my settings and flipped switches on and off and have not had any luck trying to get an image to popup when hovering cursor over it.
Our tiki is at http://www.thepatriotwoodwiki.org/tiki-index.php
We are using 14.0 Beta and the image on the home page is set to popup.
Is there an additional switch in the control panel I need to flip in order for this to work?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
John

By the way the source of both images is the file gallery.

Has the problem with images with a drawing overlay been fixed? When I hover or popup the image to enlarge only the overlay drawing shows. The image does not show.

In my Tiki 15 svn live site, here is the new image dialogue that I was talking about, it is different then the 14.0, and I like it, it has descriptors on what to expect with each feature. Please see capture :

Hi jmorris and Gary,

I played with params thumb responsive and rel (whilstresposive seems to notappropriate at all fr the secific case) and with value y, mouseover, zoombox

What mouseover is intended

a) guess of user jmorris about intention
b) intention of the developer?

If am reading your comments correctly Torsten, my intentions for the "mouseover" param is to have the image enlarge to actual size upon mouseover of the thumbnail. Or to have the image enlarge to the prescribed size as set in the file gallery params.

If my understanding of mouseover is correct, the image should enlarge as the cursor is hovered over it.

Thanks

Hello one more time gents, I opened up another site, using Tiki 12.4, and the image on the home page is set to mouseover, it works wonderfully! You can view the mouseover in action at http://tpwtestuser.com/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage

the image is the woodworking tool on the home page, hover mouse ontop. So something happened since 12.4 that the mouseover function no longer works.

Thanks folks!

Hello Jihn,

glad to hear that it works fine now.

BUT it seems a non-responsive or responsive-unfriendly feature:

Just shrink your browser to narrow (alike small smartphone) and try withe the exact same image.
Then try with a smartphone.

I guess other options likely would be better.

* sad looking *


Regards,
Torsten

I agree, but I just wanted to see it work. So I think then what I am hearing here is that from versions 13.0 forward we should not be looking for a mouseover or mouse sticky for images, since we are now in the world of mobile and responsive design. Does that make sense, the mouseover is probably on the low end of the priority list I am sure. Thanks Torsten.

Sure it made sense to see it work. Makes it easier for us to understand what it is and if it still makes sense.

You are right, after seing it working I tend to the conclusion, that "mouseover" likely is no good for mobile.

In other words: goood for pre-13, no good for post-13.

Just my opinion.
