WAB Popup Issue

glennhazelton — Wed, 03 Dec 2014 16:33:56 GMT

Robert,

one more behavior I am curious about.

if it leave a layer unchecked and publish it as a service and then add the services to a agol webmap and use that webmap in the webappbuilder I can turn the layer on so it is visible but I cannot use the mouse and click on a feature and get a popup. all the layers that are published with the visibility on will show popups.

I have enabled popups in the webmap and configured them.

any ideas why?

Glenn,

I believe that issue is a bug that needs to be reported.

Try this work around:

MapManager.js:

Add line 4 and a comma to the end of line 3.

        var webMapOptions = {
          mapOptions: mapOptions,
          bingMapsKey: appConfig.bingMapsKey,
          usePopupManager: true
        };

This change will not affect existing apps so create a new one to test.

Right now this work around only works for the developer version. You can not access the MapManager.js file for the AGOL web app builder.

When you use the usePopupManager: true it breaks other popups for the map like the measure and draw tools. What happens is when you want to measure something the map will measure but it still thinks that the identify tool is active and identifies things and the popup gets in the way. Here is another chunk of code to add to those widgets to fix that issue. So far it works for me, but not 100% sure it is the best fix.

For the measurement widget I opened \widgets\Measurement\Widget.js and commented out two lines and added two new ones right around line 69.

aspect.after(this.measurement, 'setTool', lang.hitch(this, function() {
  if (this.measurement.activeTool) {
    //this.disableWebMapPopup();
    this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(false);   //added this
  } else {
    //this.enableWebMapPopup();
    this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(true);   //added this
  }
}));

It looks like you need to add these lines of code to other widgets that need map clicks like draw.

I have the same issue and working with ESRI they could not replicate the problem with 10.3, however, my services worked in AGOL and WAB with popups on their side. I am still on 10.1 but I found adding my service from a shapefile and not a fgb or gdb allows the popups in both applications.

OK I did some more digging and found the place to fix the draw widget.

\jimu.js\dijit\DrawBox.js

around line 165

Comment out this.enableWebMapPopup(); and add in this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(true);

deactivate:function(){
  //this.enableWebMapPopup();
  this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(true);    //Added this
  if(this.drawToolBar){
    this.drawToolBar.deactivate();
  }
  query('.draw-item',this.domNode).removeClass('selected');
},

around line 245

Comment out this.disableWebMapPopup(); and add in this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(false);

_onItemClick:function(event){
  var target = event.target||event.srcElement;
  var items = query('.draw-item',this.domNode);
  items.removeClass('selected');
  html.addClass(target,'selected');
  var geotype = target.getAttribute('data-geotype');
  var commontype = target.getAttribute('data-commontype');
  var tool = Draw[geotype];
  //this.disableWebMapPopup();
  this.map.setInfoWindowOnClick(false);    // added this
  this.drawToolBar.activate(tool);
  this.onIconSelected(target,geotype,commontype);
},

We are on 10.2 & Enterprise GD and experiencing the same problem.

I have a question about the work flow for implementing this work around.

I have configured a web map application using Web App Builder 1.0 (Developer Edition). I am wondering if I understand the next work flow steps correctly.

Should I:

Download the zipped web app package from the Web App Builder Developer edition.
Extract and edit the MapManager.js file (and others) as mentioned above.
Recompress the web app package.
In the Web App Builder Developer edition, Export as Template to ArcGIS Online
This is where I become uncertain of the next steps....
?? Attach the edited & zipped code to the Exported web app Template on ArcGIS online ??

Thanks in advance for any help!

Marie,

This work around is for WAB Developer version hosted locally. I don't believe that you can get this workaround back to AGOL.

Re: WAB Popup Issue

MarieCline_Delgado — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 21:07:10 GMT

So it would only fix the popup problem on the specific computer hosting the web app builder developer edition?

Marie,

If you make the fix in WAB Dev version then all the apps that you build from that WAB Dev machine are going to contain the fix and those apps can be deployed to your own local web server.

It looks like this issue is now resolved for the AGOL version with the latest release in March 2015. Still waiting for the fix in the developers version.

Actually only with shapefiles, I had a service created from a fgb that didn't allow popups on the Web Application Map, creating a second service using shapefiles exported from the fgb allows popup both on AGOL and WAB.

George Katsambas,

2 questions to you for follow up:

#1. Are you talking about a hosted feature service generated from a shape file/fgdb or map service created by ArcGIS Server based on a shapefile/fgdb?

#2. Did you make sure you enabled popups in the AGOL web map before it went to WAB?

In my mxd I used a fgb that I published to ArcGIS server, that service in AGOL allowed popups, but when the map in AGOL is shared as a WAB popups returned a message no information available. After working with ESRI support we determined taking the files from a fgb and exporting them as shapefiles and publishing the shapefiles to ArcGIS server the popups worked. This was reported as a bug for ArcMap v 10.1

George,

Good to know about the bug. I tested a 10.2.1 map service from a fgdb in the AGOL WAB and it had no problems.
