Pop up panel widget not open on first identify of session

MarkCooper5 — Mon, 24 Sep 2018 14:28:45 GMT

I have the pop up panel widget in one of my apps and the first time you identify a feature in the session, a popup ones normally in the middle of the screen. If you click on the popup panel icon and then identify, it works as I would expect, placing the results in the side panel.

Is there a way to get it to always show popups here, not just when the widget has been selected?

Many thanks

Mark,

You need to set the popup panel to open at start.

Robert,

The widget is doing almost exactly what I need but I am having the same issue (doesn't open on first identify) with a caveat. I am using the tabbed theme and I have an about widget that I need to have open at start to give information about the map before the clicking begins. I was thinking of setting the popup panel to open at start and then programmatically switching to the about panel but that seems pretty messy. Any way I can tweak the popup panel code to force the content into the panel? Thanks!

Blair,

Why not have the about widget in one of the on screen widget placeholders instead and have the popup panel in the tab and both set to open at start.

Thanks Robert,

This is something that I'm pulling together for someone else and they have this idea in their head that they really want a panel on the left where they can toggle between the about (description of the map), a legend and the popup information. I can actually almost do that with one of the basic templates but in addition i need to have group filters in widget placeholders which I was having trouble doing on that other template. I think they will just need to compromise on the design a bit and I'll put the about info in a splash screen so they see it up front and have the popup panel open on start. Thanks again, this widget is great.
