LocalLayer widget and WAB 2.3

ReneeGerasimtchouk — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 22:33:43 GMT

Does the LocalLayer widget work with WAB 2.3? I configured it and can add layers but the OK, Cancel, and X button do not do anything - when clicked on, nothing happens.

Thank you,

Renee

Yes, version 2.2 of the LL widget works fine for me in WAB Dev 2.3 and 2.4 apps.

I have the same problem Renee describes.

Here is an error shown in Chrome dev tools from trying to close the configuration window.

"Cannot read property '_tables' of undefined"

I wonder what I'm doing wrong then. I set the "visibility: false" and using Firefox. Anything I'm missing? Thank you !!

Yes, I am having the same issue which Ron pointed out- "Cannot read property '_tables' of undefined". Any pointers?

Hi Barnaby,

I have 2.4 WAB also and this doesn't even show up after I configure the config.json (predefined-app\default folder), is there something else that you did to get this to work for 2.4? I don't see it anywhere, in the header controller, in the on panel widgets, nowhere...

Hi Jeff,

Did you follow all the Setup instructions here?

GitHub - cmndrbensisko/LocalLayer:

Cheers,

Hi Barnaby:

I followed the setup instructions. Then, I encounter the issue which Ron Steward pointed out? Did you upgrade from previous version or did you start it fresh?

Thanks

Hi Barnaby,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I did set it up using those instructions, (the first part, putting in the widget definition for the foldable theme, I figured the rest of the directions is to get the other widgets/themes to work with it). I’ve double and triple checked it and all looks OK. However, I’m not sure where to find it, should it show up in the widget list when I click one of the numbered “placeholders”, or is it in the header controller widgets, or am I looking in the wrong places? (I’m kinda new to all this…)

This is what I added to the widgetonscreen section of the config.json

{

"uri": "widgets/LocalLayer/Widget",

"visible": false

And I made sure the LocalLayer is the same as the folder name for the widget that I downloaded from github (I changed it from LocalLayer-2.2)

And I am using the Foldable theme

I did notice that after I create the app, when I go to the widgets folder under server for the app that I created, the LocalLayer folder shows up there, so it is finding it and copying it over when the app is created.

Jeff,

All I can think to suggest is make sure the LocalLayer widget you renamed is the root folder for the widget. I think I found that the LocalLayer-2.2 contained another LocalLayer-2.2 insdie it that actually had the widget contents. Once I removed the additional folder it showed up.

For WAB Dev 2.4 I imported apps containing the 2.2 version of the widget from .zip files exported from WAB Dev 2.3. I then updated the widgetonscreen section of the config.json. That's it.

BarnabyRockwell — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:24:29 GMT

When you edit the app in WAB Dev 2.4, does the Widget area look like this? (LL widget indicated in red).

Re: LocalLayer widget and WAB 2.3

RonSteward — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 18:51:58 GMT

I gave up on 2.4 and 2.3 and went back to 2.2. My WAB Dev 2.2 looks like that. In 2.3 and 2.4 the widget had to be added using the "Set the widgets in this controller" link. When configured following the instructions the widget appears on the menu and can be added. However, when LocalLayer is added, that opens the LocalLayer edit window that cannot be closed with the underlying "Cannot read property '_tables' of undefined" error as previously described.

Oh man. Not good. Is the widget folder named "LocalLayer" in the "widgets" folder of your app?

If it's working in WD 2.2, try exporting the app from 2.2 and importing it into 2.4 if you haven't tried that already.

Re: LocalLayer widget and WAB 2.3

JeffSauder — Mon, 17 Apr 2017 19:14:58 GMT

I did what Ron suggested and it was in a nested folder, I fixed that and now it works. Thank you Ron and Barnaby for looking at this with me. However, I am now having the issue that the others are having here so I'll stay tuned...

Barnaby,

Yes it is named "LocalLayer" in the widgets folder.

Thank you for the suggestion of exporting and importing. I'm new to WAB Dev. I didn't know it could be imported. Good idea. I won't be able to mess with it right away..

BTW, the regular GeoNet thread for the LocalLayer widget is:

I too didn't have much luck with these two set of components.

I assume either they don't have backward compatibility or the setup instructions is missing one or more steps

Thanks Barnaby- that did the trick.

Here is what I did:

I created the app in 2.2 with locallayer widget configured and exported it out as a zip file. Then, I imported it into 2.4 version. The previous problem of non responsive config. window of LocalLayer widget disappeared.
