Tooltips for Attributes and Options

by Razvan Mocanu

What it does?

Displays a tooltip icon right next to the attributes and options names. When hovering or clicking this icon, a tooltip is displayed. The tooltip icon will be displayed only if there is a tooltip defined for the specific attribute or option.

How is the tooltip defined?

After installing the extension, a tooltip field will be displayed in the attribute editor and options editor. Just fill in the text to be displayed as tooltip or a CMS block ID to be used as tooltip. If there is no CMS block with the specified ID, the ID itself will be displayed as tooltip.

Can the tooltip design be customized?

The tooltip has it's own template (.phtml) file and styles (.css) file. So it can be fully customized. In addition, there is the original SCSS file.

Hover or click?

There are two different behaviors available:

CSS based - classic hover behavior
JS based - on click display

In System / Configuration / Tooltips Options you can select which kind of behavior you like. The JS code is in it's own file which you can fully customize.

Is it compatible with my Magento?

The extension was tested on CE 1.7, 1.8 and 1.9 and EE 1.13 and 1.14.

Are any changes in files needed?

If you don't have any custom implementation for the attributes and options templates, then the extension will work out of the box. Otherwise, a reimplementation of these templates is needed. A list of these files is provided with the extension.

I can't ... myself. Can you help?

The extension comes with a small user manual. However, a little experience with Magento may be needed. I can help but the extension price does not include any kind of support.
