Are you looking for a way for someone to click on a link and send an email?

Try this: Email (this link shows how a user could fill out a form and send an email)

or this: Email2 (this link shows how when a user clicks a link a new email will open)

The second one is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m beyond new to the web appbuilder. I created a custom widget and not sure how I would incorporate this code.. Here is what my widget currently looks like.. Would I place it in the

tag?

define(['dojo/_base/declare',

'jimu/BaseWidget'

function(declare, BaseWidget) {

var clazz = declare(, {

templateString: '

This is a test... Please enter your suggestion and click "Submit" to email you suggestion to the Planning Department ' +
'.

_getMapId: function(){

alert(this.map.id);

}

});

clazz.hasStyle = false;

clazz.hasUIFile = false;

clazz.hasLocale = false;

clazz.hasConfig = false;

return clazz;

});

I tried this thinking I could just add in the href.

Just not familiar with dojo..

Terry,

Lots of people have helped me here so the only recognition needed would be to mark my answer as correct.

But it would help to post your final solution too so others can find it when needed.

To mark one as correct:

Mark a reply as the Correct Answer

Also, clicking helpful Yes for all those that help is good (and no need to do that for this one....just passing info on)

You could always post to GitHub or just the widget.js and widget.html code in this thread.

It's pretty simple but all I needed to be able to send an email request..

'dojo/_base/declare',

'jimu/BaseWidget'

(declare, BaseWidget) {

var clazz = declare([BaseWidget], {

'<h3><p> Please click on Submit to send your suggestion to the Planning Department: <a href="mailto:@mt.gov?Subject=Interactive%20Tool%20Suggestion"" target="_top">Submit</a></p></h3>'

false;

return clazz;

I just added it as a reply.. Thanks again for the help.. I’m working on developing an application so I’m sure I will be an expert on getting help as well as gaining knowledge of web appbuilder..

For posting code, check out Posting Code blocks in the new GeoNet

And to see all the bells and whistled of GeoNet, checkout GeoNet Help We all had to learn learn GeoNEt, but there are things on that page that can help. Also, I wrote a doc a while back that might help Tips for Getting Started on GeoNet (general and Alaska User Group specific) Although it might be a bit outdated.
