eSearch Widget naming config.

RudoDuncan — Mon, 01 Feb 2016 22:24:38 GMT

I copied your esearch widget folder and changed the config.json to the one that I have downloaded from my web application. My widget folder name is cfsSearch. I changed some things in the setting.js, manifest.json and Widget.js (anything that had esearch in the name, I've changed to cfssearch, based off of baseClass: 'widget-cfssearch').

When I try to add the widget, it's bringing up a duplicate one and is giving me the following error. Can you shed some light on this please?

Thank you

Rudo,

You will find that "widgets/eSearch/..." is hard coded in several .html files in the widgets settings folder as well. Just keep searching each files in the widgets folder structure for "eSearch".

Is my folder name and baseclass names correct? Am I suppose to make anything a lower case versus upper case in the names? It's weird because I changed only the main files in my widget folder earlier today and it worked. However, I when I refreshed my application it didn't work. I've had trouble ever since.

Rudo,

If you change the widgets baseClass then you will have to re-name every instance of eSearch in both css files (style.css) the main one in the widget css folder and the other in the settings/css folder. Using cfsSearch will be fine in your files as long as you replace all the eSearch instances in all .js and .html files as I mentioned earlier.
