PopupActionLink and PopupAction helpers gone in 5.0

Title:

BI{code} ?

Why did you get rid of the PopupAction and PopupActionLink helpers in 5.0? I've got a LOB application with dozens of forms built using these helper (as anyone who use your reference implementation has). I'm looking at dozens of hours of refactoring and retesting that my customer isn't too happy about. Is there any possibility of bring them back, or an easier migration path?

  all the cfg had to be inside an html attribute value, with the initpopup helpers it's inside script tags; and now you can pass in complex js objects using the .Tag extension; you would also get much less html if you set the cfg once using init and will not repeat it for each grid/list row; you could create a custom helper that uses the initpopup and calls it using `awe.open`, but this won't fit every single scenario

  • I appreciate that the new approach is more elegant and flexible, but you can't just go removing features that people use. Can you make the old help code available to those who still use it, even on an unsupported basis?
