 * Hi Gerkin,
    Very nice looking plugin – one we hope to make use of. We could not
   get the tooltip to display if we use a glossary term. To check it we used the
   standard wordpress theme / clean install, but still can’t get it to work. [http://test2.halfwayhost.com/2015/07/19/new-posts/](http://test2.halfwayhost.com/2015/07/19/new-posts/)
   I can provide login details. Can you assist? Thanks Luke

 * Hello,
 * Have you inserted the tooltip properly, with a “Text” attribute in the form, 
   and a term selected into the search box?
    Have you any JS errors? Or failed request
   because of 500/404? Some other users seems to experiment the same issue, and 
   I can’t find why.

 * If you can, try using directly the shortcode. It’s format is like
    `[ithoughts_tooltip_glossary-
   glossary glossary-id="xxx"]My text inside[/ithoughts_tooltip_glossary-glossary]``
   My text inside` is what will be diplayed into the link triggering the tooltip,
   and `xxx` is the id of your glossary term you want to link. Try to do that way.
   If it does not work, then, something is going wrong server-side. If it works,
   it means that the TinyMCE form have some problems.

 * Hi Gerkin, Should the glossary term page itself be publicly visible?
    E.g. [http://test2.halfwayhost.com/glossary/test/](http://test2.halfwayhost.com/glossary/test/)(
   we have 404)
 * We also have an undefined index in php here: [http://test2.halfwayhost.com/2015/07/19/new-posts/](http://test2.halfwayhost.com/2015/07/19/new-posts/)
 * Thanks

 * Yes, glossary term should be publicly visible. Try to publish your term and tell
   me
 * About undefined index, thanks for the tip, gonna fix it now.
 * Edit: this error seems to be thrown because your tooltip does not have any content…

 * Hi, Our glossary terms are now visible ([http://test2.halfwayhost.com/glossary/test/](http://test2.halfwayhost.com/glossary/test/))
   but the glossary tooltip is still not working. We do have data in each field.
   Hopefully its the undefined index? How do you apply a fix? Thanks…

 * Hmmm, interesting. Can you copy/past the shortcode from the mode “text” of your
   editor please?

 * Sure: [ithoughts_tooltip_glossary-glossary glossary-id=”13″]Test tooltip[/ithoughts_tooltip_glossary-
   glossary]
    Theres also an error on the glossary terms page in the editor “lphaarchive
   in /home/sites/halfwayhost.com/public_html/test2/wp-content/plugins/ithoughts-
   tooltip-glossary/class/ithoughts_tt_gl.class.php on line 282” Shall I email you
   login details? Thanks

 * Ok, cool 😀
    So the problem seems to be server-side during determining if there
   is a term. Gonna make some checks.
 * About your error, there’s no need to send me details, as this bug is already 
   fixed and wait for a release to be deployed.

 * Have you enabled “static terms” mode? What is your “term link” mode?

 * Ok, I think I’ve found the problem. What is your PHP version? A function seems
   to behave differently depending on pre/post PHP5.3.9

 * re “static terms” and term link mode, we have tried all combinations with no 
   luck…
    I would think it must be the error code displayed here: [http://test2.halfwayhost.com/new-posts/](http://test2.halfwayhost.com/new-posts/)

 * Hi, have you tried the new release ? It has some compatibility fixes, maybe it
   will solve your issue. The error you spotted should not be thrown anymore.
