Is it possible to add more than five "non screen" widgets to the foldable theme?

Jordan,

Sure you would just have to manually add then to the config.json in the widgetOnScreen widgets array and adjust the position and make sure the id is unique.

{

"position": {

"left": 55,

"top": 45,

"relativeTo": "map"

"placeholderIndex": 1,

"id": "_38",

"name": "Share",

"label": "Share",

"version": "1.1.2",

"uri": "widgets/Share/Widget",

"config": "configs/Share/config_Share.json"

}

Thanks!

I'm starting to get more comfortable with this. It's definitely easier to mess with outside of the web app builder.

Hi Robert,

When I add an extra widget that way it I am running into a layout issue: if the height/width ratio of the browser is approximately that of a mobile device the additional widget floats to the lower right corner. You can try this example webapp.

I searched through the code and have trouble finding the cause of this behavior. Do you know why it behaves that way? Do you have suggestions which js/css files to look into?

Many thanks, Tobias

Answering my own question in case somebody else is looking for it. Per Esri documentation, add this to the mobileLayout property (in file config.json):

{
"position": {
"left": 285,
"top": 45
}
},

Ifran,

Those position values look like you would be placing it at the same position as one of the existing on screen widget and there is one under the other.
