Text in Entry shows a mouse over picture and links to a site

    I’ve noticed on some blogs (yet can’t find one to give as an example) where a graphic or picture pops up when you mouse over the underlined text. Then if you CLICK on the text, it takes you to another page.

    So if I typed the word Husband, a small graphic of my husband would pop up and if you clicked on the link, it would take you to his Cast Page. Am I making sense?

    Is there a plug in that does this? If so, where do I find it?

    There’s a plugin called Acropop that I think is supposed to display an image when you hover over links but i’m not sure what’s up with it as I havent used it. However you might want check it out:

    That is EXACTLY what I need…almost!

    Is there anyway to add in a WEB link?

    For example, if you go to my first post, you’ll see the word “mouth” is underlined and my picture pops up. Is there any way to code it so when you click on the link or the image that it goes to a different url (such as my bio, etc.)?

    Here is the link to my blog:

    You might also try avatar Popup.

    You can see it in action here. The plugin allows various things to be replaced on hover.

    That looks cool, too, but again, it doesn’t link to a web page. I’m going to try and see if I could replace the email function with a web link.

    The problem with the avatar pop up, is you have to type in a ton of code whenever you want to link text to an avatar. With Acropop, I just type in the ONE WORD. I just need someone to figure out how to incorporate a web link into Acropop!

    After opening acropop.php there is a chunk of code that looks like it might be manipulated to do what you want…

    ‘function acropop_replace($value)
    {
    return ‘\<img src=”‘ . $value . ‘” />‘;
    }’

    Im just guessing but if you play with this you might be able to insert a link. I’m kind of interested in this as well now;)

    I’ll play with it and if I get it to work i’ll post the code here. You might also want to email the author, chances are he will be of more assistance.

    Thanks Rob, I’ll play with it when I get things situated on my site! I already emailed the plug in writer, as well! Let me know if it figure it out, I’ll do the same.

    Your correct, with the avatar popup plugin there is a lot of code to insert. I solved that minor problem by adding it to my list of quicktags. Now all I have to do is click one button to use it.
