jQuery plugin to add 360 rotatable bubble style tooltips

Sorry, this project is no longer maintained.

grumble.js

Add a bubble to any element; configure its rotation on a 360 degree axis and define its distance from the centre of the element.

Bubble size adapts to contents - perfect when text is localised and size can not be determined up front.

grumble.js's Issues

Broken in IE10.

Get an error message about attempting to get .item from null.

Appears .item is something that the minify'er adds as it does not appear to be in the un-minify'd source.

Again this is an IE10 issue, but I haven't checked in other IE browsers.

jquery3.2.1 is not working

it show me

b.bubble.fadeTo is not a function

$.browser.msie is deprecated in jQuery 1.9.1

Please remove $.browser.msie from your code to detect IE since its deprecated in the version 1.9.1 of jQuery.
Its used in jquery.grumble.js and Bubble.js

downloading does not work

Hi James,
Can you check why downloading does not work? I am interested to fiddle with your code! looks great.

[enhancement] Add missing bower.json.

Hey, maintainer(s) of jamescryer/grumble.js!

We at VersionEye are working hard to keep up the quality of the bower's registry.

We just finished our initial analysis of the quality of the Bower.io registry:

7530 - registered packages, 224 of them doesnt exists anymore;

We analysed 7306 existing packages and 1070 of them don't have bower.json on the master branch ( that's where a Bower client pulls a data ).

Sadly, your library jamescryer/grumble.js is one of them.

Can you spare 15 minutes to help us to make Bower better?

Just add a new file bower.json and change attributes.

{
  "name": "jamescryer/grumble.js",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "main": "path/to/main.css",
  "description": "please add it",
  "license": "Eclipse",
  "ignore": [
    ".jshintrc",
    "**/*.txt"
  ],
  "dependencies": {
    "<dependency_name>": "<semantic_version>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<Local_folder>",
    "<dependency_name>": "<package>"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "<test-framework-name>": "<version>"
  }
}

Read more about bower.json on the official spefication and nodejs semver library has great examples of proper versioning.

NB! Please validate your bower.json with jsonlint before commiting your updates.

Thank you!

In ie6 and ie7 ,the point of the bubble is in the wrong direction

The situation is the same as Issue #1 in terms of the examples page (http://jamescryer.github.io/grumble.js/), I'm puzzled.
Thanks in advance,your plugin meets my need well.

How to call the hideBubble function?

I can't find a API to hide the Bubble, What should I do?

Bubble image not positioned correctly on rotation

Hi, under certain situations, the rotation is not centered correctly, might be because Im using the library from a chrome extension.
My fix was to add -webkit-transform-origin on cssRotate:

cssRotate: function () {
this.bubble.css({
'-moz-transform': 'rotate(' + this.rotateDeg + 'deg)',
'-webkit-transform': 'rotate(' + this.rotateDeg + 'deg)',
'-o-transform': 'rotate(' + this.rotateDeg + 'deg)',
'transform': 'rotate(' + this.rotateDeg + 'deg)',
'-webkit-transform-origin-x': Math.floor(this.css.width/2)+ 'px',
'-webkit-transform-origin-y': Math.floor(this.css.height / 2) + 'px'
});
}

how can I add a link to the text of grumble?

$('#darkside').mouseover(function(e){
var $me = $(this), interval;

e.preventDefault();

$me.grumble(
    {
        angle: 330,
        text: 'Click to job list!',
        type: 'alt-', 
        distance: 130,
        showAfter: 0 ,
        hideAfter:3000,
    }
);
$(".grumble-text").click(function(){ window.location.href="query.php?backurl="+window.location.href; });

});

This will be work! But it not a good way to solve this problem. How can I get two grumble with a href when I click?

Different start positions in different browsers

It seems that the starting position of the bubbles are different in Firefox/IE9 from those in Chrome for div and img tags.

Lets say you have a div with 100 width/100 height, in Firefox and IE9 the starting coordinates of the bubble are (0,50), in Chrome they are (0,0).

Im initializing with:

        $(document).ready(function(){

            $('#chicken').grumble(
                {
                    text: 'Hell yeah.',
                    angle: 45,
                    distance: 0,
                }
            );

        });

(yes, a talking chicken)

Im going to look with more detail at this issue later.

Blows up on RequireJS (possibly on all other AMD loaders) with "{code here} has no 'extend' method"

This happens because content is eval'ed in some context that does not provide GrumbleBubble from window.

Suggest changing both, Bubble AND jQuery-Grumble codes to be wrapped as such:

For Bubble:

(function(window){
var $ = window.jQuery
...
})(window)

for jquery-grumble:

(function (window) {
var $ = window.jQuery
, Bubble = window.GrumbleBubble
...
})(window)

and the code stops blowing when $obj.grumble( is called.

This, of course does not make the code AMD-compatible in pure sense as it still does not have a define( , but it really does not need to be since it just decorates jQuery and all AMD loaders can just require that and get back $ object.

By the way. Plug in if fricken awesome! Females here (at office) especially love the bubbles, as error messages in bubbles are no longer bad-looking :)
