using hoverxref with php domain ?

[nmatton]

I'm not completely familliar with the RTD architecture and domain principles, but I struggle to add crossref to a PHP class (or watherver) definition.

In short, when using the "default" cross-ref system, all works using

:php:class:\`FOO\\Helpers\\QueryBuilder\\QueryBuilder\`

However, I cannot find the equivalent using hoverxref

Here is my conf.py

extensions = [
    "myst_parser",
    "sphinx.ext.doctest",
    "sphinx.ext.autodoc",
    "sphinx.ext.autosummary",
    "sphinx.ext.intersphinx",
    "sphinx.ext.autosectionlabel",
    'hoverxref.extension',
    'sphinx_rtd_theme',
    'sphinxcontrib.phpdomain',
    'sphinx_js']
autosectionlabel_prefix_document = True
hoverxref_domains = ['php']

And the file where the class is defined

QueryBuilder
============

.. php:namespace:: FOO\Helpers\QueryBuilder


.. php:class:: QueryBuilder

Can you give me some hint to solve the issue ? Thanks

Future work will be to cross ref some methods of the class and so on...

Thanks !

PHP Sphinx domain is not currently supported.

I think it could be added by doing something similar to what we are doing with the Python domain:

• Declare the class for PHP domain: https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx-hoverxref/blob/91c4d87c80c409e4b6e36d68fe551214ad3b3567/hoverxref/domains.py#L69-L80
• Override the default class: https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx-hoverxref/blob/91c4d87c80c409e4b6e36d68fe551214ad3b3567/hoverxref/extension.py#L124-L133

Note that I'm not currently working on this extension to add new features since we replacing it with a more generic feature built-in into the Read the Docs platform.

Thanks for your answer. I make it working on a local version (I have the tooltip openned with the "Loading...") but nothing when pushed to RTD.

What I did is

• remove sphinx-hoverxref==1.4.0 from requirements.txt
• update the extension.py as suggested (basically duplicating the lines 124-133 by replacing "py" by "php" + renaming "extension.py" to "hoverxref.py" and fixing (absolute) import issue
• in conf.py: adding the line import os, sys; sys.path.insert(0,os.path.abspath('./hoverxref')) and replacing 'hoverxref.extension', by 'hoverxref', in extensions

However, the build in RTD does not show any error but it acts just like hoverxref was unexistent ...

I also have those lines in the build

Using default style (tooltip) for unknown typ (hoverxref). Define it in hoverxref_role_types.
Using default style (tooltip) for unknown typ (meth). Define it in hoverxref_role_types.
Using default style (tooltip) for unknown typ (hoverxref). Define it in hoverxref_role_types

which makes me think that hoverxref is present (I'm ok with the default, reason why I didn't define them in hoverxref_role_types. I have the same log warning in the local build)

Any idea ?

Yeah, the extension doesn't work locally.

You should confirm that on Read the Docs you are executing your modified version of hoverxref. I guess you are not, because it should show at least the same "Loading..." message.
