Add Shapefile Widget

NathanStrout2 — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 22:25:21 GMT

Hi all, I just put together a quick widget for adding a zipped shapefile to a webmap as a new operational layer. This is very helpful with custom geoprocessing services that need a feature/operational layer as input. I essentially just wrapped the AddShapefile jsapi sample from Esri so the interface is pretty simple so you can customize the html as needed.

You can download or fork it on GitHub: https://github.com/URSpatial/WAB_AddShapefile

Happy mapping!

Hello Nathan

I would like to use the add shape file widget in my WAB project; however I am experience some difficulty incorporating this widget due to the fact I am working within a corporate network in highly secured development environment.

In efforts to trouble shoot my issue, it looks like line #68 of your code sets the shape files to pull from www.arcgis.com. Should this line be changed to the classified equivalent of the same web site. I tried changing line #68 to read -- var portalUrl = "https://portal.Xxx.cloud.XX.gov"; which is the classified equivalent of www.arcgis.com

Is this a good place to start trouble shooting? What other parts of this widget code should I look into changing?

All,

Just FYI: in the next update to Web AppBuilder embedded in ArcGIS Online, we're enhancing the Add Data widget to support adding local data files, including shapefiles. The update is planned for mid-Dec.

Hope this helps,

Dont suppose 'add data' would include KMZ files?

Is there a list of the supported data types from local files that will be supported?

Hi Michael,

FYI: list of supported data types from local files include: shapefile, CSV, GPX, and GeoJSON. Sorry, KMZ is not supported. Please submit an enhancement on the ArcGIS Ideas site for Web AppBuilder: ArcGIS Ideas

Hope this helps,

Is there a plan to add filegeodabase featureclasses to the supported data types?

Hi Grant,

No, we don't have this on the road map at this time. Please submit an enhancement on the ArcGIS Ideas site, under the Web AppBuilder category: ArcGIS Ideas

Hope this helps,

Hi Nathan,

The AddShapefile doesn't allow me to set up on the çhose widget window', when you load it to the web map. Am I missing something?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Jose

Is it possible to increase the number of data points from 1000? Are their specific server settings?

Thanks

Hello Derek

Do you have any updates as to when the capability to add shape files,KML,CSV, etc files locally into the web app builder through the Add Data Widget? In your Nov 2016 post you mentioned that the widget update is planned for mid-Dec.

Thanks

Hi Antoine,

Please see this blog post, What’s New in Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS (December 2016) | ArcGIS Blog

Antonie,

Derek is talking about the OTB WAB AddData widget. not a custom widget.

Re: Add Shapefile Widget

DerekLaw — Wed, 25 Jan 2017 17:00:41 GMT

Hi Antoine,

As rscheitlin‌ indicated is his post, the core "Add Data" widget now includes the ability to add local shapefiles. Please review the blog post I referenced previously.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

I'll need to download the new WAB v2.3 to access the updated Add Data widget...

Re: Add Shapefile Widget

Thanks for clarifying that the latest "Add Data" widget has the ability to add local shapefiles. Can you please list exactly what versions of each ESRI software component needs to be installed in order to access the latest version of this widget? Is it just the WAB v2.3 that needs to be upgraded? I work in a corporate setting that has licencing for all the latest ESRI software releases as needed. We have tried downloading the latest updates but it seems that in the Web Mapping Application in Portal for ArcGIS the "Add Data" widget remains as the "old version" which only allows for upload of web services and layers without the option to add local shapefiles.

Thanks

Ben,

On premise Portal is always 2 version behind the current release of WAB. What that means is that Portal 10.5.1 will have WAB version 2.3.
