What I would like to do is setup a tooltip so it can load a specific (very short) article.
I’ve worked out how to set up the tooltips using an extension I found, but what I can’t figure out is how to load and specify an article.
Is there some function like “loadarticle” with the ID of the article specified that would work?

The background to this is that we have a series of “definitions” for items on our site. We need technical authors to be able to edit these definitions when technical specifications change. We have set up a series of articles with a definition in each article. We then want to set up tooltips wherever the word (which has a definition) appears. The tooltip would then load the definition article. The benefit of this is that our authors/editors would be able to edit one article and the changes would appear in all the relevant tooltips. Otherwise we will need to manually update each instance of the tooltip.

Any help appreciated!

Hello andbeyond,

As of now, Joomla hasn’t supported this feature yet. You can post your request as an project on http://www.joomlancers.com .
