dojox toaster in map div

JeffreySchmidt — Thu, 03 Oct 2013 20:45:21 GMT

I was interested in using the Dojox widget toaster. I am able to get it to show up, but cannot seem to place it in the center map div.

A google search notes that others were interested as well...
http://dojo-toolkit.33424.n3.nabble.com/attaching-dojox-widget-Toaster-to-center-pane-in-BorderContainer-td3100266.html

Anyone got any ideas on how to place a toaster into the center map container???

using the chrome console I attempted to place the toaster but with no luck.... dojo.place('mytoaster', 'mapdiv')

As a work-around, I could use a dialog or simply populate, show and then fade out a div in the map div, but I'd like to use toaster if I can... 🙂

I GUESS THERE'S A CHARACTER LIMIT SO THIS IS COMING IN TWO PARTS...

It's the default nature of the toaster is to have the window as it's container. It's a modification to the widget time! Here's my modification to 1) set the target to the map (or any other element with an id) and 2) add center down. I started to add center up but never did. The the other positions may or may not work. As I recall there was an issue with right. All I wanted was center down so I didn't go any further or clean it up (probably buried 42 pages deep in my to do list).

Notes:
The namespace and class are changed to mods.widget.MapToaster. Change to your custom module path. Of course all dojo module naming and path conventions must be followed.

Anything I changed is proceeded with //MODIFY and a brief description of the change.

This is uncompressed and still contains the author's comments.

The widget code:

Thank you Ben, I appreciate the help! I intend to implement this next week. 😉

The css:

.dijitMapToasterContent {
 padding:0.75em;
 background:#B5BCC7;
 /*background-color:rgb(181,188,199);
 background-color:rgba(181,188,199,0.9);*/
 text-align:center;
 -webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 10px 10px;
 border-radius:0px 0px 10px 10px;
}
.dijitMapToasterMessage{ 
 /*color:#fff;*/
}
.dijitMapToasterWarning,
.dijitMapToasterError,
.dijitMapToasterFatal{
 font-weight:bold;
 color:#fff;
}
.dijitMapToasterWarning .dijitMapToasterContent{
 background:#900;
} 
.dijitMapToasterError .dijitMapToasterContent{
 background:#990;
}
.dijitMapToasterClip {
 position: absolute;
 z-index: 5000;
 overflow: hidden;
}
.dijitMapToasterContainer {
 display: block;
 position: absolute;
 width: 200px;
 margin: 0px;
 /*font:0.75em;*/
}

Create it with the added parameter mapId for the id of the map div, not the map object itself.

app.map.toaster = new mods.widget.MapToaster({ mapId: 'center-map', defaultType: 'message', duration: 3500, positionDirection: 'tc-down' });

Call for it:

app.map.toaster.setContent('Click map to draw point.');

Not generally this forthcoming with stuff like this, but guess what: I clicked on the link in your post and saw myself asking a question that never got answered. Forgot about that. Mine didn't get answered but yours will.
