[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose-developers] Popups

[Dan Little]

There are mechanisms for sending the popup information to the printingservice... they are just woefully inadequate.  With 2.0 and the use ofOpenlayers we could use the more google-style popups which seem to bemore useful for some people.

I'm just working out how to best accommodate everyone's needs when we go back to the drawing board on the popup functionality.

Jay, my personal experience with the popups is they have 
some usability quirks with them.  There needs to be some time invested to 
get all of it worked out, but they do work.  I haven't really used 
them in any of my applications so I have not invested a lot of time trying to 
figure out a good solution to enhance the end user usability.  But I do see 
the benefits.
 
I personally like the approach where you might have a drop 
down menu that only list what data layers the popups are available for 
and you select one and that becomes your active popup layer.  That layer 
would always remain on during all navigate functions and would only be turned 
back off when a user selects a different layer or sets it to "none".  If 
you made a popup stick it would disappear on any navigate.  You also would 
not be able to print the popups.  Just thinking out loud hear.  
Thoughts?

Just something I noticed…
   
 If you click the Flag to turn on popups it turns green and 
the popups show up
 On mine I cannot turn that off unless I zoom in or 
out.
   
 Instead of zooming in or out….say at the same zoom and 
uncheck the layer and recheck the layer (turn off and on)
 The flag turns back to yellow but still shows the popups when 
you go over them…
