How can I include the help file of a custom wiget in Portal?

Anonymous User — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 13:18:10 GMT

I know the way to add help file of a custom widget in wab developers:

https://developers.arcgis.com/web-appbuilder/guide/add-help-for-your-widget.htm

But in Portal the 'docs' folder doesn't exist.

I would like to know if it can be made and if it's possible I would need to know the workflow.

Best regards.

I believe the "~/docs" folder referred here is under ArcGISWebAppBuilder directory (Unzipped from the WAB-Dev Edition zip file).

thank you @JayantaPoddar but it's for developer edition as I commented.

My doubt is the same procedure for portal version, because docs folder doesn't exist.

Ester,

The way that I handle this in my custom widget is to have a help folder under the widgets main folder and apply this hack to the setting.js of the widget.

setConfig:function(config){ //hack the 'Learn more about this widget link' setTimeout(function(){ var helpLink = dojo.query('.help-link'); helpLink[0].href = this.configWindow.esri._appBaseUrl + 'widgets/eSearch/help/eSearch_Help.htm'; html.setStyle(helpLink[0],'display','block'); },600); this.config = config; ...
