Good Day!
Can you provide a code snippet, CSS, and/or JS that will allow us to add a tooltip to the Vote Up and Vote Down icons?
We use the Vote Up and Vote Down arrows but many of our visitors are hesitant to click on them without any guidance.
Also, as a future enhancement, can you incorporate the intent of the above into your plugin's settings?
Thank you!
@aerostar Please read this doc. You should copy the template part you want to customize and add some HTML to it.
Adding this attribute will automatically generate tooltip for the element
wpd-tooltip="Tooltip Text"
Vote buttons are located in /wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/themes/default/layouts/%LAYOUT_NUMBER%/vote.html template file.
We're not coders nor developers. We need something more practical.
Our affected file is: wp-content/plugins/wpdiscuz/themes/default/layouts/1/vote.html
The file contains the following:
<divclass="{VOTE_WRAPPER_CLASSES}">
<divclass="{VOTE_UP_CLASSES}">
{VOTE_UP_ICON}
</div>
{VOTE_RESULT}
<divclass="{VOTE_DOWN_CLASSES}">
{VOTE_DOWN_ICON}
</div>
</div>
Please see the example:
<div class="{VOTE_WRAPPER_CLASSES}">
<div class="{VOTE_UP_CLASSES}" wpd-tooltip="Tooltip Text">
{VOTE_UP_ICON}
</div>
{VOTE_RESULT}
<div class="{VOTE_DOWN_CLASSES}" wpd-tooltip='Tooltip Text'>
{VOTE_DOWN_ICON}
</div>
</div>
The red marked part should be added to the file that you've pasted in the active theme folder.
Thank you so much! If you don't mind:
(1) Would it be possible to generate a filter that can accomplish the above (via functions.php file) instead of messing around with the child theme?
(2) What CSS code can we use to reduce the width of the tooltip box assigned the Vote Up and Vote Down elements? We found one, but it affects all tooltip box of the comments form. We're using the words "Like" and "Dislike" The tooltip boxes are way to big for these words.
Cheers!

If it's possible to do the customization the hook is not going to be added.

Sure, please provide us with some example URL. We'll help you with the CSS code.
Again, thank you!
As requested, here's the sample URL: https://www.omniaaerospace.com/blog/why-atc-privatization-is-wrong/#comments
Looking forward to your CSS code. We tried everything without being able to able to identify the proper CSS selectors.
Cheers!
PS: One last thing ... can you increase the allowable time for editing comments to 8-10 minutes? Whatever your current setting is, it's too short (in our opinion). Thank you.

Here it's:
#wpd-threads .wpd-vote [wpd-tooltip]::after {
margin-left: 0px !important;
padding: 5px 0px !important;
min-width: 4vw !important;
}

Thank you. We'll discuss with out team and change it if it's necessary.
You're a genius! Thank you.
We made some minor adjustments to make sure the tooltips are not truncated when viewed on mobile devices. Details below.
Again, thanks a million.
Cheers!
