Daniel,

I recently asked about the pop up text box that displays for each hotspot, and you explained about that being a Google style. Now I am wondering (and hoping) that I can customize the code for each category image icon so that the alt text doesn't show all the detail that I input for each category. I would love to be able to just have the alt text for the category image icons (at the top of map) to only display the name of each category when I hover my mouse over them.

Hey there,
Why are you entering all this description text if you don't want it to be visible for the user?

Hi Daniel,

:) good point. Actually I would like for the text to show up on the slide out window on the map for each category - just not when you hover over the icons at the top. Is that possible?

Thanks.

You'll need to create a template override of the following file:
components/com_hotspots/views/hotspots/default.php

here on line 190 you have this code:
                    <span data-id="<?php echo $cat['id']; ?>" id="cat<?php echo $cat['id']; ?>"
                          class="hotspots-category-item hasTip "
                          title="<?php echo $cat['text'] ?>::<?php echo ($cat['cat_description']) ? $cat['cat_description'] : ' '; ?>">
                                <img border="0" alt="Tooltip" src="<?php echo $path; ?>"/>
                            </span>
change it to
                    <span data-id="<?php echo $cat['id']; ?>" id="cat<?php echo $cat['id']; ?>"
                          class="hotspots-category-item hasTip "
                          title="<?php echo $cat['text'] ?>::">
                                <img border="0" alt="Tooltip" src="<?php echo $path; ?>"/>
                            </span>

That should do the trick :)
Regards,
Daniel
