Until the real upgrade comes along, to get hovertip working with D7 and the D7 version of jQuery, this is what I did:

1. Apply the patch here.

2. Make the *.info file read like this:

name = Hovertip
description = Support for tooltips, via the jquery hovertip plugin.
core = 7.x

files[] = hovertip.module

3. At least on my installation, I had to replace $ in hovertip.js with jQuery throughout. I know this is wrong (see "JavaScript should be compatible with other libraries than jQuery" here for the fix) but I went ahead and did it anyhow ;-)

I can't say that all the test cases in the comments work, but I wanted clicktips, because they can be left open on the page, and they do work.

* * *

Two minor requests when the upgrade does happen:

1. Please replace the invalid clicktip attributes with valid ones.

2. Please add a small HTML test file that exercises all the combinations, as opposed to leaving the sample markup in comments.

Thanks for a nifty module!

Thanks for this!

I'm looking for a co-maintainer of this module, or perhaps someone to take it over entirely. Any interest?

Hi Dave,
As a frequent user of the hovertips/clicktips module on various projects I would be willing to take it over for you if you are still looking for someone. If you are still looking for a new maintainer please let me know.

Hello Dave!

We are using the Hovertip module extensively as we have integrated it with Glossify ( http://drupal.org/project/glossify )

We want to become the new maintainer so we can assure the module will work in future with Glossify - maybe together with Bocaj?

Greetings
Ivo

@Ivo I have actually started a new, different tooltip option, qTip (http://drupal.org/project/qtip). I appreciate your willingness to include me in this project, but as I have decided to go a different direction I no longer have the availability for the hovertip/clicktip project.

Ivo, are you still interested?

I realize there are other, more maintained tool tip packages out there, for jquery and other environments. Amazingly to me, I cannot find a single one that allows users to both copy and paste the text of the tooltip, and also to click hyperlinks in the tooltip. Am I missing something or is hovertips still the only one to allow those two features?

Hi, I'm kinda out of the loop at this time as I'm concentrating more on event organization, community building and other Drupal related things so at this moment I'm not sure...I will discuss the future of Glossify with some colleagues and see what we can do...on this depends my engagement to the hovertip or qtip module...

Thanks,
Ivo

I did a really primitive version of this for work. Basically, a client needed their D6 site upgraded and it used this module. So, I had to throw it together for D7 very quickly. It works for his uses, and thought I would contribute this here. Use at your own risk!

Appreciate the post. Haven't had much time to support this module lately. Will take a closer look at some point. Thanks.
