Hi Elvina,
Thank you for the reply ...
I totally agree that modifying a plugin is hardly ever a good idea,... especially because future updates will overwrite the changes made, that's why I said that it feels more like a dirty hack than anything else.
I'm trying to find a proper solution, but when 2 functions try to compete for the same "title" tag of HTML elements, it becomes quite a challenge. Which function ever takes the title tag first, wins.
I tried modifying my theme, by having tooltips only applied to non-wpforo content by using the jQuery :not selector, like so: jQuery(":not(#wpforo-wrap).[title]").tooltip(...);
Which works work for the tooltip of my theme, it will leave every [title] tag in the wpForo section of the page alone. However, it does not resolve the issue, since the jQuery.UI tooltip aggressively takes all title tags as it selects every [title].
I realize I'm just one customer, so I'd fully understand if this is not an option... but would it be possible, for future releases of the Advanced Attachments plugin, to have this jQuery.UI tooltip initialization to only apply to content in the #wpforo-wrap?
So instead of using the [title] selector, using something like "#wpforo-wrap.[title]" (may not the correct notation) instead of "[title]", when jQuery.UI tooltip is being initialized, as this is an option with the jQuery tooltip function, and would require only a small change in one location of the plugin code.
I'd love to experiment with this on my test server, to see if I can help finding a fix for this. But activating the plugin on my MAMP setup would require an additional license, and testing on my production server (as you can understand) is simply not an option.
Thank you for your time, I do appreciate the interaction.
