web app builder custom in-panel widget problem

CharlesBailey3

I went through the tutorial in WAB, Create a custom in-panel widget, got my widget to show up in the widget pool, but when I select it and click ok it just flashes up an empty msg box and nothing else. Isn't it supposed to insert a button on the header that drops down the panel? (It worked that way through the wepapviewer/config page from the tutorial...) Thanks! cob

Got it...I had changed the name in the manifest to something different than the folder name. It's working now. What I'm ultimately trying to do is add a widget that will bring a layer into the map from local source or user's content in AGOL (ideally append it to the selected feature service in the map but first things first...). Do you know of anything like that out there? I found an app to add shapefile in the AGOL templates Add Shapefile that I think will work, but obviously I'm not well versed on how to make this happen. Does all of the code go in the .js file? What else do I need to make it work? Thanks for your help Robert! (I will give you a correct answer since you turned me on to the console error which led to the solution of the original problem 🙂 cob
