View Mode Tooltip

This module let's you use an entity view mode as a tooltip. By default it works with fields of type "text".

If you have the Display Suite module installed, you will see a "Title (View mode tooltip)" field as an example.

I want to use it in my module

The module also comes with a theme function you can use. Example :

/**
 * @param $element
 *  the element to use the tooltip on eg. simple text like t('Your text')
 *
 * @param entity_type
 *  the entity_type eg. node, user
 *
 * @param entity
 *  the entity
 *
 * @param view_mode
 *  the view mode eg. full, teaser
 */
theme('view_mode_tooltip', array(
  'element' => t('Hover to see the tooltip'),
  'entity_type' => 'node',
  'entity' => node_load(1),
  'view_mode' => 'teaser',
));

I want to customise the tooltip output

Here's the tooltip output HTML :

<div class="view-mode-tooltip">
  <div class="tooltip">
    <div class="tooltip-content">
      <?php print $tooltip; ?>
    </div>
    <div class="tooltip-arrow-wrap">
      <div class="tooltip-arrow"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="element">
    <?php print $element; ?>
  </div>
</div>
