patch to allow hoverable tooltips/popovers

[plong0]

adding tooltip-hoverable=true or popover-hoverable=true will enable the feature when hide trigger is mouseleave

[RobJacobs]

There is already a mechanism in place to handle this, see the triggers section here.

[plong0]

Thanks, I've read over the tooltip triggers section, but could not see a trigger I could use that would allow the popover to stay open while I hover on the popover itself.
I did not see a specific answer in Issue #3515 either.

[RobJacobs]

I think you can accomplish this by creating your own trigger with the $tooltipProvider like so:

$tooltipProvider.setTriggers({'mouseenter manual': 'manual' });

Then:

<div tooltip-trigger="'mouseenter manual'" />

@plong0 can you try @RobJacobs solution and verify whether this is still an issue or not?

[RobJacobs]

@plong0 @wesleycho Here is a plunk that demonstrates the approach I suggested. It would be nice if the tooltip-prepTriggers method could be modified to not bind triggers set as 'none' or 'manual'

[plong0]

@RobJacobs thanks for the plunk... I understand better where you are going with using the existing tooltip-enable attribute. In that plunk using the 'none' trigger, the tooltip is staying open even if I enter something in the input and move my mouse away.

The root of the problem is in detecting when the tooltip or popover itself is hovered/unhovered, then triggering the tooltip to open/close.

What was the actual sln to this problem? @plong0 - did you manage to make a hoverable popover with the existing tooltip-enable attribute - in case how did you do that? Or was your PR accepted? (I could figure that out)

[plong0]

No I couldn't figure it out with the existing tooltip-enable attribute. PR never got accepted either... I am just using my forked version (#3994) for now.

@RobJacobs,

You referenced a Plunk at this address http://plnkr.co/edit/IlbdVm1aT70D4UB0NFA7?p=info . Unfortunately, that URL now redirects to a new, empty Plunkr. Can you restore that Plunkr or recreate it, per chance?

[asitpanda]

@RobJacobs , Given plunk url is redirecting to empty plunk.Could you give some link?

I am looking for this feature. Can any one here help me.

@asitpanda, not sure it's fair to ask someone to recreate a plunk from 6 months ago and lord knows how many versions. If you have a support-related question, please read our project documentation for how to receive support. Thanks.

i requested a SO http://stackoverflow.com/questions/37108913/uib-tooltip-should-appear-while-mouse-over-on-it, i am using angular-bootstrap Version: 0.14.3, Can any one suggest something.

I have solved it in a very cleaned way and thought to share it: .popover is being created not as a child of the uib-popover so the idea is to wrap uib-popover with a parent and to control show&hide on hovering the parent. .popover and uib-popover are children of this parent so just left to set popover-trigger=none and you have what you are wishing for.

I created a plunk example: https://plnkr.co/edit/6vzrrH1KUyQeLHDz1hWp?p=preview

@odedkeren1 this doesn't work with popover-append-to-body="true" option set !!
