Tooltips and checkboxes on mobile

    Hi,

    I installed Simple-tooltips version 1.1 on the website calicoventures.com (“free trials”, right margin). The tooltips are assigned to the anchor tag of the checkboxes. In IOS 7 on an iPhone (4S), Safari and Chrome browsers, there is a problem that the tooltips interfere with the ability to check the checkboxes – it’s difficult or impossible.

    Standard tooltips don’t seem to appear on a touch screen, but we like the functionality presented by Simple-tooltips. One idea might be to get the tooltips to appear after a couple of seconds, in order to give the user time to first click the checkboxes. I tried looking at the code but couldn’t figure out how to do that.

    Thanks for any suggestion or assistance.

    Go into the index.php file within the plugin folder. Find the tooltip_data() function. Add a comma after the last parameter, and then add the following parameter:
    'show_delay': 2000 //delay in milliseconds before tooltip is shown, default is 100

    If you make this change to the plugin code, you would lose them in the future if you ever update the plugin when a new version comes out. However if I include the ability to set this option from within the plugin settings page in a future release, in the event that you update and lose the changes you would just have to set them again from within the plugin settings page and you would be good to go.

    Good luck,

    Justin
