[nodebb-plugin-cards] Show cards when hovering over user links!

[meetdilip]

Amazing @Schamper . You are really full of ideas and good ones too. Thanks a lot.

PS : Is it possible to show the user group as well ? Some members were keen to have a special title.

@Schamper hey this looks interesting. Is it possible for admin to modify what is going to be dispayed in mention cards in admin control panel? What I mean...I will have a subgroup of users in my forum, and for them it will be valuable if on hover over of their card other users can see information from their profile - reputation count, Full name, website and location.

@julian, @psychobunny it's really easy to add it to every user link, but I didn't want to interfere with the default tooltips There's probably a way to remove those, I'll look into that.

@meetdilip, @marcos2 Everything that is visible on a users profile page is currently possible. Theme creators can override the template file by overriding mentions/card and use any information from the user api.

Now I have to bug @psychobunny for adding custom / admin defined user titles plug in

You are reading my mind bro :). I was thinking about this too.

@Schamper small bug, it is possible to open multiple tooltips by hovering over a user then moving the mouse over the tooltip card and directly to another user. I had 3 open at some point.

[Schamper]

@baris yeah that part still needs some work

Btw I've updated this to 0.0.3, it now adds a card to every user link

Another one I noticed is you can open a tooltip and ajaxify to another page and the tooltip will stay on the screen, maybe createCard function can destroy the previous one before creating a new one which. And should destroy them on ajaxify.start probably.

[Schamper]

@baris that seems like a good way. Doing that now

That should do it.

[baris]

Sorry just keep finding stuff Go to your profile and hover over the edit/followers link those create the tooltip box too?

@julian are you on about the followers link or because it hides under the header?

[baris]

I think he just wants to post screenshots Yeah I think those links shouldn't have any tooltips.

[Schamper]

@baris any other bugs? I'll wait till tomorrow to push 0.0.4 just in case

[baris]

Hmm, another thing that can happen is if you mouse over multiple users quickly it will send of multiple $.api() calls and you might end up with multiple tooltips. This might work better.

function createCard(target, url) {

	var api = '/api' + url;
	$.get(api, function(result) {

		....

		if (target !== currentCard) {
			if (currentCard) {	 
				destroyCard(currentCard);
			}

			target.popover({
				html: true,
				content: html,
				placement: 'top',
				trigger: 'manual',
				container: 'body'
			}).popover('show');

			currentCard = target;
		}

		...
	});
}

Totally not tested :), Idea is to not doing anything if the target already has a tooltip and to destroy the previous one if there is no current card or its a different one.

[Schamper]

@baris Actually, that should be impossible to happen, since you have to hover over a link for 500ms before it'll even call createCard.

@Schamper I think I found another one. If you click on the profile icon of the mention card and go back to the previous page, the mention card is still there and wont close.

Nice plugin anyway

[Schamper]

@tedr56 That should be fixed with https://github.com/Schamper/nodebb-plugin-mentions-cards/commit/cd215d07167907bc0b847f2f3fbfef0b56dbf097, but I'm holding off on publishing another update, incase more bugs are found If there won't be any other reports by tonight I'll publish that fix.

[tedr56]

@Schamper No problem. Thanks
