Hi, I'm trying to use this module with the feed intro as a tooltip. It works great except that the tooltip ends up behind other elements.

My development site can be found at 66.7.204.124/~forspadd/ (using this module for the top two module positions in the left sidebar)

The template is made with Artisteer and the support team at Artisteer claims this problem cannot be solved without changing the module (i.e. Simple RSS Feed Reader)

I've tried to change z-index both in the module css and in the Artisteer generated site CSS. but can't seem to make any difference. I also tried to change overflow from "hidden" to "visible"  for the tooltip element in the style.css file but that didn't help either.

I would really appreciate help on theis one as it is a very nice feature.

There are a lot of z-indexes in your CSS...
Start by deactivating the overflow:hidden on the class .art-contentLayout .art-sidebar1

Then remove the z-index from the following classes:
.art-Block
.art-Block-body
.art-BlockHeader
.art-BlockContent
.art-BlockContent-body
div.srfrContainer ul.srfrList li a

Let me know if everything worked ok.

Wow you solved it, thanks a million!

Deactivating overflow:hidden on the class .art-contentLayout .art-sidebar1 fixed it for the main content pane and deactivating z-index of art-block* fixed the rest. no need to go into the modules css file...

Thanks again!

I'm just curious though, what is the point of having the z-index there in the first place? Why did Artisteer put it there and may I miss it later on?

note: I'm not complaining about Artisteer here, its a lovely tool for creating templates and I would recommend it to anyone.

Oops seem like this only worked for Firefox and Chrome, but good ol' IE8 is left behind. Any ideas why?

Could you try removing the z-index from all classes I mentioned above?

Yes, I've tried that but it didn't impress IE unfortunately...

Hi Eriwet,

sorry I have no clue regarding your ie8 trouble but I got a question though.

How the hell did you make these tooltips appear ?
I'm using the compact mode of the RSS module and I been asking for months here how I can use tooltips as I don't see no button to check and no infos anywhere on how to set it up.

Is it automatic for you or did you have to check anything in the admin parameters or the module's code ?

Thanks man

Hi sorry for taking so long!

The only thing I did to make the tooltips appear was to choose the compact layout and set "Feed item description" to "show"

Then I guess the feeds that you specify need to be set to include more than the feed title.

hope this helps...

Hi I am having the same trouble with the purity II template.  I am searching for analogous elements to the ones you mention..."Start by deactivating the overflow:hidden on the class .art-contentLayout .art-sidebar1

Then remove the z-index from the following classes:
.art-Block
.art-Block-body
.art-BlockHeader
.art-BlockContent
.art-BlockContent-body
div.srfrContainer ul.srfrList li a"

But I am not having any luck.  I would truly appreciate it if you could tell me specifically where to find this....art-contentLayout .art-sidebar1 and the other classes you mention
