Bring back pop-up windows

[tchaddad]

Towards the end of GM 2.x, there was a feature added for pop-ups - either click to pop-up or hover to pop-up.

It would be cool if we brought this forward into GM 3.x sometime.

So back GM 2 there were API functions like
GeoMOOSE.addPopup(...)
GeoMOOSE.clearPopups();

Is this what you mean?

At the City, we've been using the Hover option for popups since GeoMoose was started, but this didn't get pushed through to 3.X series (yet). It's why we're still running 2.9.x right now (pwgeo.org). We have started a conversion to the new series (pwgeo.org/apps/geomoose), but the missing hover/id functionality is a big difference in operation for our user base. And since the topic is changes between release series. . . Being able to perform fractional zooms would be the second missing piece I would vote for bringing forward. Mostly related to our need for scaled printing and being able to fit a particular view (BBOX) on a standard sheet with fractional zoom scales. I know this was implemented to make it easier to handle some of the tiled datasets and such but it can be worked around. bobb

Yeah I was referring to what @bblammo said. There was a configuration for both "click to pop-up" and "hover to pop-up" in the last versions of the 2.x series.

While myself I only used this briefly in 2.x, what I have seen is users of 3.x incorporating weird workarounds like adding Jquery to their maps in order to allow pop-ups for some layers where they would like to show thumbnails, etc. Would be better if this option was in GM directly I think.

Should have asked today if this one can be considered for a 3.9 or 4.0 milestone...
