Background

EasyTable Pro allows you to sort columns by clicking on the headings of a column.  Previously we have covered how to add CSS to your websites template css to show "indicator arrows" in the column headings. 

This FAQ takes it one step further by showing you how to turn on a Joomla Tooltip that pops up when your cursor moves over the column heading.

NB: This tip requires EasyTable Pro 1.0.0RC6 or later. You can see this working on the demo website.

Steps

1. Add the text of the tooltip to the field/column's Description field. You can put anything you like but in this example I've set a description of the sorting function.

[ Notice the :: between the words Sorting and Click - this tells the Joomla Tooltip function that the first part ("Sorting") is the title of the tooltip and the rest is the body of the tooltip. ]

2. Check the result in the front end by reloading the table and moving the cursor over the column heading - if you've done everything correctly you should see something like this:

3. There is no step 3.
