Manually Open Popup

[Bryan McBride]

LVL seems to handle popups differently than Leaflet. With a typical Leaflet GeoJSON layer, you can open a popup based on a property like so:

geojson.eachLayer(function (layer) {

    var id = layer._leaflet_id;

    var name = layer.feature.properties.name;

    if (name === 'California') {

    map._layers[id].openPopup();

    }

});

I've tried iterating over an LVL layer to get the properties and Leaflet ID, but I'm stuck as far as triggering the popup. It looks like there is a _showPopup function, but I'm not quite sure how to wire it all up properly. Here's what I've got so far (using the map1 example on http://geojason.info/leaflet-vector-layers/demos/cartodb/):

for (each in cartodb_man_hole._vectors) {

//console.log(cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each]);

//console.log(cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each].vector._leaflet_id);

if (cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each].properties.cartodb_id == 2921) {

  var layer = cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each];

  cartodb_man_hole._showPopup(layer);

}

}

Any help you could provide would be most appreciated!

So it looks like _showPopup expects an event as well as a feature... is there any proper way to manually trigger a popup based on a feature property? It is possible to create a new popup and add it to the map with something like this, but I'm guessing there's a better way...

function search(id) {

    for (each in cartodb_man_hole._vectors) {

        if (cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each].properties.cartodb_id == id) {

           var feature = cartodb_man_hole._vectors[each];

           var popup = new L.popup(cartodb_man_hole.options.popupOptions)

            .setLatLng(feature.vector._latlng)

            .setContent(feature.popupContent)

            .openOn(map1);

            }

    }

}

Thanks!
