Will the Web AppBuilder support upload like Flex Viewer?

[ZacharyHart]

I asked this question several times in the recent live training session and the presenters suggested they would be answering the unanswered questions somewhere around here, but cannot find any related post. My best guess was to try here (still missing the structure of old forums).

Does anyone have any updates on this? We've developed a number of GP services that allow users to submit zipped data to our GIS server. This is our biggest hurdle in migrating to the WAB.

Does anyone have any insight on this?

Hmm, wonder where you put the "idea" to fix their "ideas" page.

The link above sends me to some other site wanting me to create a new login to even view the link.

I found it at this link http://esri.force.com/apex/ideaSearchResults?s=file+upload+wab&searchButton=search  which allows me to see the post, however, if you try to promote it, it just takes you to another page.

Under Recent Ideas, click more and scroll down on this page https://c.na9.visual.force.com/apex/ideaList?c=09a300000004xET&category=&sort=recent  and it finally lets me promote the idea?????

In case others want to promote it, yet can't navigate the new ESRI "system",

OK, now I see that the original link works IF you are already signed into the ideas page.  However, the link above asks for signin, and does not accept the esri credentials.  So, apperantly, you need to go to the esri.force.com page and log in before you try the c.na9.visual.force.com...... pages.

I find that, in general, redirects at the various ESRI sites are problematic. For example, if a Google/search result shows a particular article you are interested in, your browser will attempt to take you there, but redirects to a login page. After entering credentials, it does not continue to redirect you accordingly.

Similarly, if your Google/search result gives you a blog article, ESRI somehow redirects you to the main blog site, not the article in the search result. I have found however, in this case, that if you go back to your search results and then forward again, you will be redirected successfully.

These are just two examples of the behavior I've seen.

(And congratulations Zack, you just hijacked your own thread 😕 )

For future reference, here is the direct link to the idea: http://shar.es/1o6x6c

I just submitted an idea to the ideas site to also allow us to just get the direct link to the idea without having to share as an email first and copying from there.  I also promoted the 'Share to GeoNet' idea.
