Examples

The first step:

Copy to clipboard
{TOUR(title="Welcome to the tour" prev="-1" element="#PluginTour")}Here's the start of a tour.{TOUR}


A middle step:

Copy to clipboard
{TOUR(title="A typical middle step")}This step is neither first nor last on the page, isn't anchored to an element, and isn't an orphan. It's nothing special.{TOUR}


A step that specifies a page element:

Copy to clipboard
{TOUR(element="#module_1 .panel-heading" title="This is a module heading.")}This is a module.{TOUR}


A step that indicates that the following step is on another page:

Copy to clipboard
{TOUR(path="PluginTour-page-2")}This plugin has a title and body content, but these won't be displayed - this step is simply a redirect to the target page.{TOUR}


The last step:

Copy to clipboard
{TOUR(next="-1")}This is the last step of the tour.{TOUR}

Usage notes 

  • For each step of the tour, input the Tour plugin syntax as shown above.
  • The first and last steps need a prev="-1" and next="-1" parameter, respectively.
  • If the tour isn't configured to start on page load (if start="n" is set), a start button can be made with the "show_restart_button" parameter.
  • Each step will pop over the page element where the plugin syntax is input in the wiki page, etc.
  • The position of the popup relative to the element it pops up over can be set with the placement parameter.
  • To create a step that is positioned other than where the plugin syntax is input, use the element parameter to specify an HTML id or other unique selector.
  • Use the path parameter to indicate that the next step is on another page. Simply using a wiki page name is OK.
  • A tour plugin step that uses the path parameter doesn't itself display (it is not visible); it simply acts as a redirect, so it shouldn't be used to contain information. Any guidance to the user that the tour is continuing on another page should be inserted in the previous plugin step (as of May 2017).
  • At this time, the "prev" button on the first step of the tour's second page is ghosted and doesn't work to return to the first page.
