Text Hover v1.0
I’d like to announce the first official release of the Text Hover plugin (v1.0) for WordPress.
Add hover text to regular text in posts. Handy for providing explanations of names, terms, phrases, and acronyms mentioned in your blog.
The plugin’s official homepage is located at :
http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/text-hover.
This new plugin is part of coffee2code’s extended 14 Days of Plugins (new plugin #16).
Comments welcome on this post for this version of the plugin. Comments will be closed once this release has been superseded by another.
FYI: The link from page: http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/ is 404ing when clicking through to the text-hover page. Also, the 2nd image on the text-hover page is linking to: http://coffee2code.com/wp-content/uploads/text-hover-screenshot-1.png
where I believe you want to be pointing towards “…-2.png”.
And thanks for all of your great plugin work for our use. Very grateful!
Thanks for the catches! Fixed. And thanks for the kind words!
Scott–Great idea for a plugin and one I could definitely use.
It looks like this plugin strips out any punctuation that precedes or follows. For example, one of the things I want to use this plugin for is an explanation of various Bible translations (like NIV, ESV, KJV). I’ve defined each of these so that the hover text would say “New International Version” and so forth for each translation. However, if I actually used that last sentence in a post on my site, the commas and closing parenthesis would disappear. It also appears from my testing that if I had (NIV), the hover code would not be added at all because of the opening parenthesis. Is this accurate? And is there anything I could change in the plugin to allow for the punctuation before and after?
