R4 missing hover panel on Order Manager

[AbleMods]

In R3, you could hover the 'Details' magnifying glass icon and a popup would render the line items of the order. This was very convenient when checking an order without having to click into the order itself.

This feature is missing in the /Admin/Orders/Default.aspx in Gold R4.

Was it removed intentionally?

[ForumsAdmin]

Nope. Must be something wrong.

[AbleMods]

Must have gotten replaced with some other code. There's some new javascript at the bottom of the ASPX page that wasn't in R3.

The wwHoverPanel control is gone too, that's why I thought it might have been intentional.

We will have a look into this. Could be an unintentional bug introduced in R4... but need to confirm it was not intentional. We will let you know.

OK. It was removed intentionally. It happened during our work on improving UI to incorporate export feature on order manger page.

Relevant comment from our issue tracker

The wwhoverpanel component is extremely outdated. One of it's native behaviors is to inject a json script even though all modern browsers have this natively. The json spec that is included with wwhoverpanel is old and incompatible with current practices. After struggling with some different ideas, I finally removed this element from the order manager page. If we need to support a hover on this page it will have to be with some newer component.

A new bug has been created to add the hover feature back to order manager page. We will use a better solution than wwhoverpanel. We may not tackle this in R5 though. R5 is currently in final QA and bug fixing.

That works, thanks for the great followup. It's not a major deal, just a convenience the client would enjoy seeing again.

I copied the old hoverpanel code into the R4 page and it's working fine for this client. No one else has mentioned or noticed it missing
