want to add hover with custom field into to a view image

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I am working on a Team section for a website using Toolset CPT and Views. I need to add functionality where, upon hovering over team member images, further information about the member is displayed in an overlay. The current hover options seem insufficient for this need.

Solution:

Option 1:

Use Kadence Modal Block:

Option 2:

Use Fields and Text block in Toolset and incorporate the Bootstrap modal code:

You can add dynamic Toolset data inside the HTML code using the buttons available in the Fields and Text block or manually using the shortcode reference:

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I need to create a Team section for a website. I could use a Toolset CPT and Views. BUT the client wants a lot more functionality/styling than I can find in Views. They would like to have a Team display with images of the Team members that when the user hovers over them, they will see in an over lay, further information about the Team member. Any idea how I could add that function to a view? Current hover options are primitive.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I can find nothing current on Toolset site

Hi there,

There is no built-in feature for that. Upon searching I have found this article that might be helpful which utilizes the Kadence Modal Block:

One other solution can be using the Fields and Text blick in Toolset and utilizing the Bootstrap modal code there:

You will be able to add the dynamic Toolset data inside the HTML code using the buttons available for you in the Fields and Text block or you can add the dynamic data manually using the shortcode reference:

Thanks.

Thank you Christopher. Your suggestion of a modal makes complete sense. I will be trying this out soon.
