Either this module simply does not work at all or the lack of documentation is making it completely useless to me. So this is either a bug report or a task for Documentation. I dont know which it is since I cant get the module to function at all. I have set it as bug report in case this module does not actually work. Otherwise change it's title to Documentation Missing and explain in a reply how to get this module functioning.

Here are the steps I used to reproduce this.

Install plain jane Drupal
Enable Profile module
Add a custom Text field to the user profile
Check "Use Tooltip"
Type in the tooltip to display
Go to the user Edit page in an attempt to fill in the new custom field

At this point a tooltip should be displayed next to the custom field or when you hover over the field. However neither of these are the case. The field does not appear any different than it did without a tooltip.

I discovered that if I click around somewhere near the field, the tooltip displays. But this is buggish to me and completely useless.

Conclusion: This module is pointless for it's purpose without some sort of hover effect or icon with hover or click effect.

Needs docs unless the click feature to bring up the tooltip is intentional, although it should not be as that is very non-user friendly when the whole point of a tooltip is to add user friendlyness :D

I have the same problem. Actually this module seems ideal for my purpose (certainly not only for me). It's a pitty that it doesn't work the way it should.

When there are no sort of icon which shows users that there's help I see the problem that user won't even click into the field. Then it is useless indeed.

Is there hope that the module will work soon? :)

I'm curious how this compares with BeautyTips & other jQuery tooltip modules.
