How to install.
-
Unzip and upload the folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, via FTP, or upload the zip directly via WordPress's built in plugin uploader.
-
Activate the Image Map HotSpot plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
How to use the HotSpot.
-
In the front page of this plugin, you can view the available HotSpots you've created. Something like below:
- The HotSpot edit page, you can add/update the image and pop-up tooltip here:
- After save/publish the HotSpot, you can see the working preview on the above of the edit page. When the content is fine, you can copy the shortcode and put it in your post or page.
Some hint:
- The default width of the Popover is 236, leave it to blank (and will be 236) if you want to responsive feature. Otherwise you can customize any width as you like.
- If you don't want the Popover just want the pin icon with a link, you'd better add the icon and update it's proper position and save first. Otherwise the icon link make you harder to drag and update it's position.
- The Popover only support YouTube HTML5 video player right now. And it only works with the Browser which support HTML5. So this is just more like a experiment feature.
First set the Popover support video to yes in the setting.

Then in the YouTube video page, get the iframe embed code. Add the html5=1 query to it, and fs=0 to disable the fullscreen button (just find the fullscreen doesn't work correctly in Lion).
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ebXB0lBoaQ0?html5=1&fs=0"
frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
After close/hide the Popover, the video will stop, and reload the video every time when display the Popover again.
- Want to put small image in the Popover?
You can embed the image via HTML, and add the popover-floatleft or popover-floatright to align the image. For example, this is the code for the small circle avatar in the preview.
<img src="http://wp.cq.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/avatar_80.png"
class="popover-floatright" alt="avatar" />
