hi all,
in the courses i build, we often click a text link to either a) show a callout to display a small amount of text and/or a small image, or b) open a popup that contains more [text, images, animations, videos].
is there anything built into adapt to handle either of these? are there any recommended plugins?
what cool tips and tricks do you have so the user can "click the link for more info"?
thanks.
Hi Aaron,
There are so many brilliant plugins built by the community does what you described. You may want to have a look of the following:
Check out the Adapt Plugin directory, you'll find more.
Cheers

There is a module built into Adapt to handle exactly this, it's called Notify and is documented here. Many of the Adapt plugins will be using this (the Hot Grid component Sam mentions in his reply for example).
You can also trigger it manually in any Adapt course if you want to see it in action - quite useful for being able to see all the different options available to you.
With an Adapt course running in your browser, open the developer tools (F12) then go to Console.
Type/copy-paste in the following then press Enter:
var Adapt = require('core/js/adapt');
This creates a reference to Adapt. Now that you've done that you can trigger Notify in the course by running commands in the Console such as:
Adapt.trigger('notify:popup', {title: 'this is the title', body: 'this is the body'});
Or, one that's sadly little-used but which I rather like:
Adapt.trigger('notify:push', {body: 'Ah, push it (get up on this)'});
See the documentation for more examples.
hi matt,
thanks for the heads-up. you gave me a great idea for an experiment. here is an example showing how to trigger the notifications from a link in the text component.
and, ooh - ahh - push it, push it real good may turn out to be my favorite, too. i can already think of a few ways in which it can be used.
