Add data widget

GarethYoung1 — Tue, 20 Nov 2018 21:18:33 GMT

Is there a way to customise the add data widget so that it doesn't take you to the AGOL or portal page for the metadata?

It would be ideal if the description etc appeared in the widget or in a pop-up box.

Many thanks

Gareth

Gareth,

That is a fairly large ask. What portion of the Service details that are displayed on that page would you have go to a popup instead (there are quite a few)?

Robert,

I really appreciate all the assistance you have given me these last few days. I'm still only learning javascript so struggle with the customisation. I can customise the css no problem.

It would be:

Description

Credits

And if possible a button to open the metadata that's stored with the item like if you click here in agol:

Its just a query to see if its possible and how you would go about it

Thanks

Sorry,

I forgot the name of the item

Gareth,

That would involve changing the detailsClicked function in the AddData/search/ItemCard.js to instead make an esriRequest to the REST service endpoint to get the json back and then use something like the jimu.js/dijit/message.js to present the info to the user in a message popup.

Robert,

Thanks for coming back to me so promptly. I think that is beyond the skills I currently have.

Thanks again for all your assistance. It's much appreciated

Gareth

Robert,

I have found a widget that has been customised although I can't get it to work. I get the following error message:

Any suggestioons on what the issue might be?

I could send my widget code if required although I can't see an attach option.

It appears that the widget that I have can't find our AGOL instance as the search doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What custom widget are you using?

I could send it to you if that helped?

Sure

Re: Add data widget

GarethYoung1 — Thu, 22 Nov 2018 17:24:32 GMT

How can I do that?

Re: Add data widget

In your reply click on the "use advanced editor" link (upper right hand corner). then when you get the advanced editor you will see a attach link in the lower left corner.

Robert,

I don't seem to have an advanced edit option

Re: Add data widget

You will not see the use advanced edit option when you are in your inbox. You actually have to open the thread by double click on the thread in your inbox to open it then you will see the option.

Thanks Robert. I've added the attachment.

I believe it lets you search more than one group as curated content and displays the information as part of the widget itself.

However, when I deploy it, I get error messages to say it can't find the portal/agol.

Gareth,

This widgets code in from back in WAB 2.1 and needs some serious work to get it up to date for the latter versions of WAB.
