Making a popover appear with the hover trigger works fine.
Making a popover appear with the click trigger works fine.
Now, how do I go about making the popover appear when the triggering image is hovered over, but then if the user clicks on the image, cancel the hover and initiate a click toggle? In other words, hovering shows the popover and clicking 'pins' the popover.
The HTML is pretty standard:
<li>User<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-user" rel="popover" data-trigger="click" data-container="body" data-placement="auto left" data-content="Body Text" data-original-title="Title Text"></span></li>
And the popover initialization, even more boring:
$(function () {
$("[rel=popover]").popover();
});
From what I have seen so far, it seems likely that the solution is a nice complex set of popover('show')
, popover('hide')
, and popover('toggle')
calls, but my javascript / jQuery-foo is not up to the task.
EDIT:
Using the code provided by @hajpoj as a base, I added a function to listen to the hidden.bs.popover
event to try to re-enable the mouseenter and mouseleave events after triggering the click event, but although it does make the 'hover' work again, it kills the click...
var $btn2 = $('#btn2');
var enterShow = function() {
$btn2.popover('show');
};
var exitHide = function() {
$btn2.popover('hide');
}
$btn2.popover({trigger: 'manual'})
.on('mouseenter', enterShow)
.on('mouseleave', exitHide)
.one('click', function() {
$btn2.off('mouseenter', enterShow)
.off('mouseleave', exitHide)
.on('click', function() {
$btn2.popover('toggle');
});
});
$('#btn2').on('hidden.bs.popover', function () {
$btn2.on('mouseenter', enterShow)
.on('mouseleave', exitHide)
});
Edit:
Heres an updated solutions based off your comment. It doesn't stay in a 'click' state but returns to the hover state.
jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/hajpoj/JJQS9/15/
html:
<a href="#" id="btn2" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-content="And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. right?" data-original-title="A Title">Click to toggle popover</a>
js:
var $btn2 = $('#btn2');
$btn2.data('state', 'hover');
var enterShow = function () {
if ($btn2.data('state') === 'hover') {
$btn2.popover('show');
}
};
var exitHide = function () {
if ($btn2.data('state') === 'hover') {
$btn2.popover('hide');
}
};
var clickToggle = function () {
if ($btn2.data('state') === 'hover') {
$btn2.data('state', 'pinned');
} else {
$btn2.data('state', 'hover')
$btn.popover('hover');
}
};
$btn2.popover({trigger: 'manual'})
.on('mouseenter', enterShow)
.on('mouseleave', exitHide)
.on('click', clickToggle);

I believe this is what you are looking for:
html:
<a href="#" id="btn2" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger" data-toggle="popover" title="" data-content="And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. right?" data-original-title="A Title">Click to toggle popover</a>
js:
var $btn2 = $('#btn2');
var enterShow = function() {
$btn2.popover('show');
};
var exitHide = function() {
$btn2.popover('hide');
}
$btn2.popover({trigger: 'manual'})
.on('mouseenter', enterShow)
.on('mouseleave', exitHide)
.one('click', function() {
$btn2.off('mouseenter', enterShow)
.off('mouseleave', exitHide)
.on('click', function() {
$btn2.popover('toggle');
});
});
Basically you manually pop open/close the popover on the mouseenter
and mouseleave
events, but once someone clicks on the popover for the first time, you remove those event handlers, and add a new handler on the click
event that toggles the popover.
Edit: an alternative js code. simpler code, but there is a small visual blip when you use it: http://jsfiddle.net/hajpoj/r3Ckt/1/
var $btn2 = $('#btn2');
$btn2.popover({trigger: 'hover'})
.one('click', function() {
$btn2.popover('destroy')
.popover({ trigger: 'click'})
.popover('show');
});
