Fantastic Effect but Difficult to Implement
This is by far the best tooltip/popup module I've used. It allows for almost infinite flexibility, and the result looks much nicer than the "popup filter" module. The only problem is that it is far more difficult to implement than most modules. It requires adding code to the template.php file in a way that requires some coding knowledge. At the same time, the documentation for the module is poor. There is nothing beyond the readme text, which is obviously geared for people with significant coding experience. This is in marked contrast to the Beauty Tips jQuery plugin, which itself is provided with rich documentation. In fact, I almost considered including the jQuery plugin directly instead of using this module. What needs to happen is for the module config interface to be expanded so that it allows admins to do all of the configuration from within the drupal UI. It would also be helpful to have some sort of filter system like the "popups filter" module. In the meantime, though, Beauty Tips produces such good results that it is well worth the initial frustration getting it set up.
