I'm using Kartik DetailView and would like to have a hint appear when the user hovers over the label (like the GII forms). I've tried the following, but it does not work.
$attributes = [
[ 'attribute'=>'name',
'inputWidth'=>'50%',
],
[ 'attribute'=>'round_precision',
'hint' => 'Specify the number of decimal digits after the decimal to round to. Use a negative value to round the integer part of the number to the number of digits before the decimal. A value of 1 will round 1.855 to 1.7, and a value of -2 will round 1.855 1.86. A value of -1 will round 17.6 to 18, and a value of -2 will round 17.6 to 20.',
'inputWidth'=>'10%',
],
];
How do I get Gii-like hints in the Kartik DetailView Widget?
It appears GII is just using Bootstrap Popovers. I followed the instructions on http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/664/activating-bootstrap-3-tooltips-popover-for-your-yii-site/ and then began creating labels with help popovers.
I created the following function to render the label.
/**
* Create a help popover to be shown on an input form.
* @param $label string The label to display for the input.
* @param $help string The help text to display.
* @return string
*/
public static function renderLabelHelp($label, $help) {
return Html::tag('span', $label, [
'data-toggle'=>'popover',
'data-trigger' => 'click hover',
'data-placement' => 'auto right',
'data-html' => 'true', // allow html tags
'data-title'=> 'Field Help',
'data-content'=>$help,
'style'=>'text-decoration: underline; cursor:help;'
]);
}
Then I call the function with something like this.
<?= Html::label(MyHelpers::renderLabelHelp(
$model->getAttributeLabel('round_precision'),
'Specify the number of decimal digits after the decimal to round to.<br>Use a negative value to round the integer part of the number to the number of digits before the decimal.<br>A value of 1 will round 1.855 to 1.7, and a value of -2 will round 1.855 1.86. A value of -1 will round 17.6 to 18, and a value of -2 will round 17.6 to 20.'
) ?>
