JCEPro was showing blank under Components list, so I manually reinstalled JCE Editor and Mediabox. Now none of my images are showing JCE tooltips and there's nothing under mediabox settings either for tooltips. Help!

Ryan
Tooltips were remove in JCE MediaBox 2.1 and now will use the core Joomla tooltips for existing "legacy" tooltips.

Now none of my images are showing JCE tooltips


Please post a link to an example.

Just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.

So how do I get my existing 'legacy' tooltips (ie jcetooltips) to work with 'core Joomla tooltips'? Or do I have the enormous task of re-editing every tooltip? Is there a tutorial?

Ryan
Please install JCE MediaBox 2.1.2 RC - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/mediabox/development

The tooltips should automatically be converted. If they are not, then please post a link to an example article containing a tooltip.

I have installed 2.1.2rc but it does not look as though the tooltips have been converted, but I am not sure If I have right tooltips plug-in installed. The tooltips text , instead of being under the cursor, are shown either above each image, or above and to the left.

See https://www.lwmfhs.org.uk/parishes/4-london/105-st-mary-woolnoth As in many of the portrait photos of London churches on this website, the tooltip is also associated with a pop-up link to the full size photo. Any help you can give to get these showing as proper tooltips would be appreciated.

Ryan
Please try JCE MediaBox 2.1.2 RC12 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/mediabox/development

I have added a set of default tooltip styles, as your template does not seem to have any (Joomla 3 uses the default Bootstrap 2.3 tooltip styles)

This is a big improvement. You say set of styles - is there a way to select, adjust or customize these?

Ryan
Yes indeed. It's just css, so you can add stuff to your template stylesheet to override the defaults, which look like this - https://github.com/widgetfactory/jce-mediabox/blob/2.x/css/src/tooltip.css

OK, I see, thanks. I prefer tooltips to be under the cursor, not attached to the top of the image. Not sure enough with css to know how to do this.

Ryan
I've knocked together a simple tooltip plugin that uses similar positioning to the old JCE MediaBox tooltip. You can download it here - https://github.com/widgetfactory/wf-tooltip

If you are also using JCE MediaBox 2, you will need to order the Tooltip plugin so that it is before JCE MediaBox 2, so that it processes the legacy tooltips first.
