Either a little ? icon or a popup when you hover over the item explaining the setting so you can understand better what each setting does.")* Yes, I understand that, however it is a little cumbersome as when you are on the page and on that setting would be good if there was a tooltip for the setting without having to leave page or open up a new page and start searching for the page and also then the setting. Especially if we are having shop owners managing these websites we need to make it easy as possible for everyone to understand the settings, features and functions. Something like this would be good for each setting: [ ![tooltips.jpg](/forum/attachment/2531) ](/forum/attachment/2531 "tooltips.jpg") - [ ![tooltips.jpg](/forum/attachment/2531) ](/forum/attachment/2531 "tooltips.jpg") [ ](/forum/attachment/2531?download=1 "tooltips.jpg") Last edit: 14 years 9 months ago by [woonydanny](/forum/user/5795-woonydanny "View woonydanny's Profile").

Tooltips are the usual way for joomla. So I they must usual and for hikashop too... --- Я не явлюсь официальной службой поддержки! Я здесь добровольно! Хочешь получить купон на скидку Hikashop?

For now we try to keep it up to date and we'll try to redo all the screenshots in the short term as they are getting really outdated. We'll see for the tooltips in the future.
