zoom to in url

Question

one aspect of the flexviewer url that I use is the ability to put a featureID in the parameter string of the url and have the map center on that location when it loads. is there a similar function in the javascript api and/or the webappbuilder? (fyi- this functionality is thanks to Robert S. and his work to extent the flexviewer)

My thoughts were to try this with the ParksFinder app since I'm assuming it's based on the same foundation as a WAB map. There is NO index.html to add that snippet to... and when I just drop the "?urlmodifiers" they give me quirky responses. I haven't tested with a WAB map yet, but I did get sketchy responses from our ParksFinder app we've set up.

Brian,

Just pay attention to the actual url paramter in the example. It is not implying that you have to have a local folder url

?center=34,-50

?extent=-13079253.954115,3959110.38566837,-12918205.318785,4086639.70193162,102113

The URL's they use in the examples imply that you need to have a webappviewer folder? Am I missing something?
