[hobbit] Feature request: DESCR popup

[Tod Hansmann]

There are several places, actually.  The easiest thing to do is look at
the page you want to modify, in the source.  Each section has a div or a
table separating the rest of it, usually labeled.  For instance, on the
bb2 page, the table has a SUMMARY of "Group Block" (this might be what
we modified it to, but I was pretty sure it was in the base source as
that).

Do a 
grep "Group Block" *
while in the bbdisplay source directory

That will tell you what line that appears in, and that will be the
function defining how that section is generated.  Find the image tag,
put an ALT and a TITLE in there, and you should be golden.  Modify other
sections accordingly.

Subject: [hobbit] Feature request: DESCR popup

Hi Hobbit's,

I would like to raise a litle feature request:

I like the functionality that when you hook the mousepointer over a dot
a small box pops up and displays information in the form
column:color:duration.

I (and also a lot of people in my company) would like to see this also
for the hostname links. If a DESCR tag is in the bb-hosts file for this
host it's content should be displayed in the little pop-up box. This way
it's not necessary to view the info column each time to get this info.

I think it can be done by inserting an "ALT" html-tag in the page
source-code. I looked into the pagegen.c and other modules but I didn't
find the right place to hook in. And unfortunately I'm pretty poor in C
programing.

Can someone give me a tip or is someone even able to code this (Henrik?)

Thanks
Johann
