Twitter Skin - Tooltips and Regex substitution

[Raikuga]

I made a skin that reads from Twitter and now I'm trying to update it to use the newly added Tooltips to display the full tweet's text. But I just don't know how to get it working. I know it's something simple, but I've never used dynamic variables before.

Also, another problem that has been a problem before trying to add tooltips is that the substitute doesn't work... How do I get that working?

Code: Select all

Your problems are two-fold. First, in order to use a measure's value for the tooltip, you will need to use it as a dynamic variable. To do that, just encase the measure's name in square brackets and then add the line "DynamicVariables=1" to the meter. Second, tooltips currently have an issue where they will not show if their entire text consists of the value of a plugin. To get around that, all you need to do is add another character to the text.

One of your meters would look like this:

Code: Select all

[MeterTweet1]
Meter=String
MeasureName=Tweet1
MeterStyle=Tweet
ToolTipText="~[Tweet1]"
LeftMouseUpAction=!Execute [[Tweet1Link]]
DynamicVariable=1

Just do this for each of the meters with a tooltip. The ~ in ToolTipText is just an extra character to make sure that it shows. You can change that to anything else. In the next beta, that issue will be resolved so that the extra character is unnecessary.

I already had DynamicVariables=1 set in the Tweet meter style. I changed all the tooltip texts as you said and the tooltips work well. Thanks for your help.

Now my only problem with the skin is the regex substitution...
