InitAs : Tooltips & Description #5

Closed Superd22 closed 8 years ago

Superd22 commented 8 years ago

For every MCM_API_Setting you should be able to declare a Tooltip (on-hover help text to indicate what a setting does.)

ie :

General Setting

Tweak everything general

You should really think about changing those as they are advanced.

Agreed on the tooltips.

Let's talk about categories though. Do you think we should introduce a "category" concept in the API, or just keep the "InitAsLabel" concept? When I wrote in "InitAsLabel" I had short lines of text in mind, not category headers. If we want categories, I think it's worth abstracting how the categories are shown.

Superd22 commented 8 years ago

I think the InitAsLabel is redondant. Either you're trying to describe a single setting and tooltip is the way to go, or you're trying to describe a bunch of settings and then you're categorizing them.

In any case, we should definitely abstract it.

"Tooltips don't work" is now a separate issue, so I'm closing this one since InitAs has been replaced with "Add***" and proper grouping has been implemented, and the API allows for tooltips even though getting the actual tooltip to render seems to be inconsistent.
