Working with the Tooltip Widget - Difficulties

[siegbrunn]

I'm working on our website and have set up one page to offer our various CDs. The Tooltip Widget is perfect for showing what is included on each CD when the cursor hovers over the various target Album Cover miniatures. My problem comes when I've added the Widget to several of the albums and the now open widgets (on the work area) cover SO much of the page that I can't work any further to add the Widget to the other CDs. I can't SEE the albums not yet "labelled", they're blocked.

This is really a question directed to those of you more experienced than I am with Muse. Has someone got a good technique to get around this problem? I'm talking about working on the page, of course when it goes "live", the panels show up only when the cursor passes over them.

You may have still checked this in the settings panel of your widgets:

If you uncheck it, you may have access to the other CD labels.

Does this help?

Oh oh oh oh! thank you! I had no idea that setting was there. Works perfectly.   (Working with some of the widgets requires figuring out for yourself and I was happy that I could figure this one out otherwise)

Perhaps you know, this widget has three "pop-ups" and three triggers for each instance. Can I separate those to three different CDs? Or does the triple instance serve another purpose? i wasn't sure. At this point I have a new instance of the widget for each CD. But I've only done 4 so far, so correcting that would be no big deal.

Let me answer, because I am quite sure, that fotoroeder​ doesn’t know the answer! (Excuse me, Uwe!)

The widget doesn’t have "three triggers", it has countless triggers. These three triggers are simply meant as examples, and you can add as many new triggers as you want. Of course you can delete unnecessary triggers as well). Simply click onto one of the the small "+" icons to add triggers, or activate a trigger and press "Backspace" to delete it.

You see: It should be enough to have only one widget. Resize and configure each trigger as you like,  place it where ever you want, and add new triggers – just as much as necessary.

[fotoroeder]

Hi siegbrunn​, you can add as many triggers  as you want, they of course lead to the same amount of targets

[fotoroeder]

Ha, of course I know this, , and added to Günter Heißenbüttel​, if you want something else, as I am not 100% clear about your wishes

"Can I separate those to three different CDs? Or does the triple instance serve another purpose?", you should give us more information, but I think you are on a good way instead of a woodway .

(was only kidding fotoroeder!)

Sorry, if I made you think I am thin-skinned. . You are not that bad as a teacher, btw .

[siegbrunn]

Thank you both! I understand what you are saying and tomorrow i'll go back in and clean up the woodpile. It's much easier than I thought! Good night all!
