Tooltip links with anchors or searches

[vaniwiki]

I have lots of links that jumps to paragraph anchors, and/or have predefined searches, like this:

[[books:bg:13:8-12#id3?s=absolute+truth|Bg. 13.8-12]]

All my regular links give tooltips, but not these ones. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but I would love to have mine styled with popovers! :)

Also, relative links doesn't make a tooltip, but I would prefer to keep it that way. I can see why links with searches in them probably shouldn't be a link. But it would still be nice. :)

I agree. Links that go to other pages should have tooltips, even if they include anchors or searches. Ideally, an anchor link would preview the text at that anchor, but that's not possible without a huge performance hit.

If I don't implement this in the next few weeks, feel free to bug me. :)

I thought about this as well, as my anchors use the purplenumbers plugin and links to paragraphs. And similarly my thought was that this will be a performance issue. But I am happy with only meta description display in my case; I don't see tooltips with anchor text improving the presentation.

I still need a way to try and combine the purplenumbers and autotooltip plugin renderers, as I can currently only use one of the functions at one time. Autotooltip has taken over by sheer usefulness after I populated yet another 30.000 pages with meta description, yet purplenumbers is crucial to my latest undertaking of making a digital index, with links that jump to the actual paragraph and highlights a search phrase. Together they will be amazing! :)

You could merge the two plugins manually. That's relatively easy for renderer plugins, but it's still a pain. You could also write your own action plugin to do post-processing on the final HTML. Or wait for the multiple-renderer plugin to work correctly. :)

Or... depending on how often you use purplenumbers, you could replace it with the very simple anchor plugin I wrote years ago. You'd have to create an anchor for every place you want to link to.

Fixed.

Ouch! After updating, I lost my anchor links with unspecified link names. Does that make sense? For ex. [[glossary:a#Abduction]] now only displays a and not Abduction, as it did previously.

Are you sure that ever worked? When I disable the plugin, I see the same thing you're describing.

[vaniwiki]

Could be this issue evaded me in previous releases, as I only started using it recently. But with the xhtml renderer (as well as purpleplugin renderer) I get anchor names. I could specify link names manually, of course, I just thought it was related to this recent change and easy to fix. :)

Nice! Works perfectly. I appreciate your swift response and action. 🥇

It works? Not sure why, since yesteday's fix should only affect links that don't have tooltips, but I'm happy it worked. :)

[vaniwiki]

Yes, those links do not have tooltips. But I still need them. :)

Ok. Good to know the fix you saw was the fix I made, then. :)
