REDCap Field Notes Display

Provides alternative display modes for field notes. This module adds an action tag @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY that takes one of three parameters, hover, tooltip, or popover to determine how the field note should be displayed.

Prerequisites

• REDCap Modules

Installation

• Clone this repo into to <redcap-root>/modules/field_notes_display_v<version_number>.
• Go to Control Center > Manage External Modules and enable Field Notes Display.
• For each project you want to use this module, go to the project home page, click on Manage External Modules link, and then enable Field Notes Display for that project.

How to use

Once the module is activated on a project, the @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY will be available in the action tag help text of the Online Designer. Add @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY to any field where you would like to display the field note using one of the three display modes. Specify the display mode you would like to use as a parameter to the action tag. Valid display modes are hover, tooltip, and popover. Provide the content of the field note as usual.

Example:

Add the following syntax in the Action Tags field, then the field_note is hidden from the view and it is shown on hover over the field name.

@FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="hover"

And similarly, if it is required to show the field_note only on the tooltip or popover, use @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="tooltip" or @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="popover" respectively.

field_notes_display's Issues

Popover does not work

Robert Geller reports:

Subject: Field Notes Display - v1.1.2

... We were trying to use this EM on LTS 13.7.31 and find the hover and tooltip work for us, but the popover does not. We see the "?" displayed but nothing happens when we click on it. ...

Field note not displayed with HTML tags when using @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY action tag

Hi, i have a question about HTML tags. When using @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY action tag a text is displayed only in the text together with html tags (for example as "< br ></ br >" not as new line).

Popover not interpreting html

Hi ! Thx for the REDCap module !

I'm trying to use the popover to display help inclunding a link.
I'm using :

<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank"> foo </a> and it displays raw html when the popover displays.

Tooltip not displaying for multiple questions

Hello,

Great module, thanks for developing it.

I'm experiencing an issue where if I have a page with multiple question using the @FIELD-NOTES-DISPLAY="tooltip" command, only the last question in the series will actually display the help icon with the tooltip. Is this an issue with how I've set up the questions or could this be a bug?

Many thanks,
Si
