popover-append-to-body does not work

[cdauth]

According to the documentation, the attribute popover-append-to-body can be added to elements using the uib-popover directive. I has no effect though, as can be seen in this plunker.

You need to use popover-append-to-body="true". I think that we've got an issue somewhere to trugger this functionality using a boolean attribute only as you've tried.

@Foxandxss as you can see this is not only ng2 thing :-)

Thanks for the tip, in fact it seems to work.

This seems to be an inconsistency, as dropdown-append-to-body works without ="true", for example.

Also, the documentation should mention this.

@icfantv, thanks for taking care of the issue.

Either I am missing something, or I think there is a misunderstanding. You added to the docs that “the presence of the attribute implies true”. It is the issue of my report that in fact it does not, as opposed to the dropdown-append-to-body attribute.

There was a previous discussion on this where someone chimed in and said they use *-append-to-body="true" in a global config and turned it off on a case by case basis using *-append-to-body="false". If we are going to change this, I think it needs to still evaluate the attribute value but default to true and be consistent across all directives.
