Labelled Graphics in Rise
I love the labelled graphics in Rise, but there is one feature about them that I wish worked differently.
Often the explanation that comes up when the learner clicks a hotspot overlays the image itself and that's not helpful (or visually kind) at all because that often means it's covering the very thing the hotspot is trying to explain so you're taking away the visual reference.
Is there a way to set which way the explanation opens, to the left of the hotspot or to the right? I'd love it even if it was a ninja kind of way, involving getting into the code or some such.
I'd also love an update to this functionality where we could set ourselves which way the explanation opens (you can leave an option for it to be automatic like now).
In this example, it was originally because the hotspots go along the edge of the picture, but what you can't see in this is that i added empty space in the uploaded image to the left (3 inches of it). This way, the actual picture gets nudged to the right and i had hoped that meant more flexibility on which way the explanation opens, but no.

There are no settings in Rise that allow you to set which way the explanation opens.
Ah, too bad. I had hoped someone would know a way to make it happen anyway. Lots of McGyver level skills out there. :)
Hi OrganizationSta, I developed a theme component for this exact purpose, it makes the popover panel aligned to the right side (on desktop view) which looks like it will work well in your example, and the popover can be made slightly transparent so you can still (kinda) see what's underneath. I can share the code if you'd like to try it out
PhilFoss​ that is super slick! I'd love to take a look at the code and see how you did this. I might use that for my other Rise courses because it just looks great. I ended up making a Storyline block but it seems way overkill to make a storyline block just for a hotspot graphic. :)
(Also, you have a great voice!)
