WAB-Query customisation

MatthewWeed

Hi Robert,

I was going through the document which you have published for configuring WAB. I wanted to further customise my application by having a login page and later open user based authorised maps(layer definition) thereafter.

I am finsing it difficult to understand complete architecture and page flows of the WAB. Kindly guide me how to preoceed further on this.

Thanks,

Tanya Bisen

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the information. One more query,I was trying to configure LocalLayer widget with the default widget configuration in my application.

I followed the steps as mentioned in the readme file and have kept default ESRI layers in the cinfiguration file but when i run my application layers fail to load in the layerlist.

I made necessary changes in the config.json and LayerInfo.js file for Mapservice.

Do i need to further remove my itemid ?? Incase you have any other doc/link for the widget configuration,kindly share it with me.

Thanks,

Tanya

Tanya,

You will notice that there is a big bold statement on that thread that the thread was for WAB when it was is Beta and is no longer relevant to the released WAB.

Hi Rebecca,

I was going through Do you have to use AGOL to use WAB? thread. I managed to incorporate the login screen and then load the webmap based on authentication. The above thread says incase we want to incorporate our ARCGIS Server services in WAB we need to make changes in config.json file.

I tried doing he same but my map doesnt seem to load i.e. WAB is failing to load the layers. If I provide the "itemid", it seems to work fine.I want to apply layer definition to the dynamic map service I load, Can you please help me out in how to go about it. Do i need to make any changes in any .js files.

Thanks,

Tanya

Hi Rebecaa,

my major concern for using VS IDE was to understand the complete flow of pages of widgtes used in WAB. As explained to you earlier since I need to add login screen as my starting page of my application, I need to be sure which is the page in use so that I can go further for customisation.

With Brackets I will try how much I can achieve and incase you have any other resolution, kindly let me know.

Thanks,

Tanya

Tanya, look at Robert's explanation of his pattern for developing

Re: Debugging WAB App in Visual Studio 2012

The title suggested Visual Studio, but Robert explains his use with Brackets.

RebeccaStrauch__GISP

Tanya, I would have to agree that Brackets is straight forward and free http://brackets.io

When you downloaded the app from WAB, where did you put the files? Also, are you downloading WAB from Online or from the Developers edition?

Have you tried running the web page in a web browser? It's probably good to test to see if it's running using the default setup before starting to customize it more.

Hi Rebecca,

I found the the file responsible for customising loading page of my application.I will try cusomisng it and get back to you incase I face any issues. I will start wioth simple customisation of my loading page and probably later try to add login screen to it. I might need you guidance withh this. Later once the user logins somehow I need to customise my map getting displayed in WAB based on user roles e.eg. If he is a Territory Manager, he should be able to view only his territory map. I know this is possible thriugh layer definition but how do I achieve it thrugh WAB as it accepts webmao and initialises the application.

Hi Tanya, I'm glad the link was helpful. I'm actually not the author of any of he live samples, just trying to help others find what is available.

i 'm not exactly sure what change you are looking at. It may help if you can include an image of what you are wanting to do and include it here. If you don't have tools available for the snapshot, maybe a link to the neighborhood application you are looking at and what part of the home page you are wanting to change. are you maybe referring to a "splash screen"?

MatthewWeed

Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for your response.

I tried going thru the links suggested by you infact the live application samples developed thru WAB are great.

How do i change the home change as shown in different examples.e.g. In your neighbourhood application.

Thanks,

tanya
