About widget

HelenZhou — Wed, 18 Jan 2017 23:18:24 GMT

Has anybody ever enabled the "about" link in the header of the Tab Theme layout? it looks like I can't configure my site in the builder to enable this link. I try to add a "about" item in the config.json and the "about" link shows up. But there are some other configurations that need to be done to have it work. I would like it to be clicked and open a popup form. Thanks. Helen

Helen,

If the WAB app settings UI does not have an option to add the about to the header then it is because that is not supported. Adding things manually to config.json because they work for other themes is not a good idea.

Thank you, Robert. Yeah, I am not going to mess up the config.json. In stead, I have added a link in the header and open a custom widget for my purpose.
