Disable Generalize Features for Web Display in Add Data Widget

ChristinaBoggs-Chavira — Wed, 30 Jan 2019 19:07:16 GMT

Hey folks, I'm looking to see if anyone has had success disabling the "generalize features for web display" functionality in the add data widget under the file tab. In general, this is great for rapid web display but specifically for our project we had it there so non-mappers could do QA/QC on some map stuff and they're seeing errors that aren't there because their file they upload is being generalized. At this moment we just have told folks but I'd like to remove this option for this application in particular. Thanks in advance! - Christina

Christina,

There is no setting to disable that option but if you are using WAB Dev edition then I can provide the code changes to make that happen.

Add this css rule to the widgets style.css:

.generalize-options {
  display: none;
}‍‍‍

Make this edit to the widgets search\templates\AddFromFilePane.html (Line 6 set to false):

<div class="secondary-pane add-file-pane">

  <div class="generalize-options">
    <div data-dojo-type="jimu/dijit/CheckBox"
      data-dojo-attach-point="generalizeCheckBox"
      data-dojo-props="checked:false">
    </div>
  </div>
...‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Is there a way to disable the checkbox out of another Widget? I have got a custom Widget that do some stuff at the beginning of a WebApp and it would be much easier to change this code only once instead of changing these lines in every single WebApp.

My code looks like this:

topic.subscribe('widgetCreated', function() {
    if(arguments[0].name === 'AddData') {
         // disable checkbox
    }
});

But how to get the checkbox and set checked to false?

Lukas,

You have to get a reference to the addData widget and then use:

To get the reference to the widget add WidgetManager to the widgets define array:

define([
...
    'jimu/WidgetManager',
...
],
  function(
...
    WidgetManager,
...‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then:

var _AddData = this.widgetManager.getWidgetsByName("AddData");‍
_AddData.generalizeCheckBox.checked = false;‍‍

Hi Robert,

i get the following error:

Re: Disable Generalize Features for Web Display in Add Data Widget

Lukas,

Then you are not getting your reference to the add Data widget then. Look in your apps main config.json and find what the exact name of the add data widget is set to. In my app it is

"AddData"

LukasWingert — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 23:11:06 GMT

i am doing this:

var _AddData = this.widgetManager.getWidgetsByName("AddData")[0];
console.log(_AddData);

and this is the output:

But i only get the following AttachPoints: tabsNode, searchNode, urlNode, fileNode

Lukas,

OK, it is not part of the _AddData object it is deeper.

var _AddData = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetsByName("AddData")[0];
_AddData.addFromFilePane.generalizeCheckBox.setValue('checked', false);‍‍

Got the following output:

console.log(_AddData.addFromFilePane);

returns "null".

This is my Widget.js (just a excerpt):

define(['dojo/_base/declare', 'jimu/BaseWidget', 'dijit/_TemplatedMixin', 'dijit/_WidgetsInTemplateMixin', 'esri/geometry/Point', 'esri/symbols/PictureMarkerSymbol', 'esri/Color', 'esri/graphic', 'dijit/TooltipDialog', 'dojo/dom-style', 'dijit/popup', 'dojo/_base/lang', 'dojo/_base/html', 'dojo/topic', 'dijit/registry', 'jimu/WidgetManager'],
  function(declare, BaseWidget, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin, Point, PictureMarkerSymbol, Color, Graphic, TooltipDialog, domStyle, dijitPopup, lang, html, topic, registry, WidgetManager) {
    //To create a widget, you need to derive from BaseWidget.
    return declare([BaseWidget, _TemplatedMixin, _WidgetsInTemplateMixin], {
      // Custom widget code goes here

      baseClass: 'jimu-widget-customStartupSettings',

      //this property is set by the framework when widget is loaded.
      name: 'customStartupSettings',

      //methods to communication with app container:
      startup: function() {
            this.inherited(arguments);

            topic.subscribe('widgetCreated', lang.hitch(this, function() {
                if(arguments[0].name === 'AddData') {
                    
                    var _AddData = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetsByName("AddData")[0];
                    _AddData.addFromFilePane.generalizeCheckBox.setValue('checked', false);
                }

            }));
      });

Lukas,

The widget is not quite ready.

        topic.subscribe('widgetCreated', lang.hitch(this, function() {
          if(arguments[0].name === 'AddData') {
            setTimeout(lang.hitch(this, function(){
              var _AddData = WidgetManager.getInstance().getWidgetsByName("AddData")[0];
              _AddData.addFromFilePane.generalizeCheckBox.setValue('checked', false);
            }), 200);
          }
        }));‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
