Hi WABDE users, Making the Template available to users in AGOL: I have been using WABDE now for a few months and getting quite familiar with it. One workflow I am stuck on is exporting a local WABDE application as a template back up to AGOL or Portal. I was able to do that, but got a warning that I do not have permissions to share with the Template group in AGOL. I asked my AGOL admin about it and he can find no Template group. 1. What group do I need to be added to so that I can share my new template and have it show up in the list of Templates when I am creating a new application in AGOL? Registration: I see that the Template app that was created has a Register option in the Details page - in what scenario do I need to do this? I registered it and it still does not show up in the list of templates. 2. Should I register it? Then there is hosting the Template. I get that it will be hosted locally or on some web server where I can deploy it, and not stored up in AGOL, but how to deploy a Template? 2. How do I deploy ('download', like with an app) a WABDE Template so that I can host it? Or is it really just a copy of the Application that I exported as a Template that I need to host? I only see the download option for applications in WABDE. Perhaps this is just a terminology mix up. Thanks for any help! Loren

Thanks for the reply Robert. I will ll try your work flow out and see if I can keep my hands out of the guts of the stem app . That is great info about your workflow. It sounds a lot like the use of a code repository doesn't it? The main or 'trunk' copy (stemapp/widget/MyWidget) and the development branches (app/#/widgets/MyWidget), and the push or merge back to the trunk. I am trying to think of the best workflow for applying a real code repo to the custom widget work that I will be doing in WAB Dev Ed, especially how multiple developers could share custom widget work on a single widget if need be. I suppose you could put the entire WAB Dev Ed folder into your repo and all devs would be working from the same copy of WAB Dev Ed, which might be advantageous. If you ignored some files that store user specific info for connecting to AGOL or Portal that might work. Perhaps you have some thoughts on that or already use a repo for your work?

I am using WAB Dev Ed 1.3 on Windows 8.1, node v4.2.3 Why does the Builder not allow the user to save changes to the stem app? Like if I want the stemapp to use a different map? I am able to view the stem app in the Builder at .../webappbuilder/?id=stemapp, but all of the save options are disabled. Is this by design? {note: adding my own 'map' section to the stemapp config file did the trick, but why not allow this change in Builder?} I would think the stem app would be the best place to work on custom widgets (not the setup and config processing perhaps, but the look/feel/functionality though) before spinning off apps with the new widget. I suppose this begs the larger question... what are the workflows for development of custom widgets that folks are finding? It seems to me to that to stay sane with code management there should be a master copy of the widget that I am working on, say in client\stemapp\widgets\MyWidget\. But without changing the stemapp map I need to add the widget to an app that has access to the map and operational layers I am targeting to really use it. And adding it to an app forces it through its setup and config cycle which, if that is not what I am working on, is a bit annoying to go through. Is that what others are doing? Summary: 1. Why, by design, can't I make changes via Builder to the stem app? 2. What development work flows are working best for you? Thanks!

Thank you for confirming that Robert. Perhaps that will come in a future release. Loren

Hello, I am getting familiar with Web Appbuilder Dev Edition. I am not seeing any information in the documentation about deploying an app build with WAB Dev Ed back to AGOL or Portal? The deployment topic speaks only of packing it up and deploying in a web server. So if I go through the effort of creating custom widgets/themes locally, how can I make them available to the organizational apps in AGOL? Loren

I am supporting the update of some code that was developed against the 3.11 version of the API. Heatmap rendering was introduced at 3.11 (in beta), and taken out of beta at 3.12. The changes were enough to break the code written for 3.11 though. In troubleshooting the issue I am curious about the esri/layers/HeatmapManager module. It is referenced in the code, and loads fine, but is not in the 3.14 API documentation or any of the examples of how to use the Heatmap Renderer. Example of how it was used in this code... layer._heatmapManager = new HeatmapManager(layer); layer._heatmapManager.initialize(layer._map); I guess what I am wondering is if the HeatmapManager is still a valid tool to be using of if I should remove it? Thanks.

Hi Nick, I am experiencing perhaps a related issue with the 'Suggest' endpoint. It is not honoring the searchExtent that I pass in. When I pass in an Extent object that roughly defines the Portland OR area, I get results returned from quite far North in WA as well. Could that issue be tied to the bug mentioned above? Thanks, Loren

I am about to embark on a customization effort of the Windows App (not Windows Mobile App) for ArcGIS Mobile and I am wondering if I really need to get VS 2008 SP 1 set up somewhere to do this. I am targeting a tablet with Windows 7 on it (not Windows Mobile). Please tell me I can pull this off in VS 2010 at least!? Thanks! Loren

Hi, I am setting up a geoprocessing service in ArcGIS Server v10. I would like to be able to use 2 variables in-line for an output parameter. What currently works for me is this: %scratchworkspace%\FileName.zip In this one, FileName is a hard coded name, and the file always has to be named 'FileName.zip'. What I would like to be able to do is concatenate the scratch workspace var and a file name var, like this: %scratchworkspace%\%FileName%.zip where %FileName% is an input parameter defined by the user. My attempts so far have failed. The model builder seems to ignore the first in-line var, and only sees the second one. Has anyone had any luck stringing something like this together? Any ideas? Thanks!

Please post some code. That sounds like a logic error, and might be in your event handling. Loren

Hi, My infoWindow dijit will only display itself in the lower right quadrant in relation to my click point. With it open you can pan the map around and watch the info window try to relocate to one of the other three quadrants, but the window disapears, and all you can see is the little pointer triangle shifting around. But as soon as you pan back around so there is room for the window in the lower right it displays again. I have tried all kinds of work-arounds to get this dijit to behave for me, but with no luck. Has anyone seen this sort of behavior before? I am currently using api v2.1, but this was happening at 2.0 and 1.6 as well. Thanks for any ideas about why I might have this bug. Loren

Hi Kelly, Yes, that was just a typo as I prepared my sample code for posting here. My modules have different names and I put that there as example of my structure. Other than the typo, any other ideas about the module mapping and why the local ones will not load? Thanks, Loren

Hi, I can't get local modules to reload anymore with the namespace change. In the code below I can not get into init_2 (I get cross-domain loading errors), though the in-line dijit is created just fine. Hoping you can see where I have gone wrong without having to create your own test utility resource to try this one out. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>(esriDojo Testing)</title>  <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/2.0/js/dojo/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css"/>  <script type="text/javascript"> djConfig = { isDebug: true, parseOnLoad: true, xdWaitSeconds: 10, scopeMap: [ ["dojo", "esriDojo"], ["dijit", "esriDijit"], ["dojox", "esriDojox"] ], baseUrl: "./", modulePaths: { "MyModules": "./MyModules" } }; </script>  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/?v=2.0"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> esriDojo.require("dijit.form.DropDownButton"); esriDojo.require("dijit.Menu"); esriDojo.addOnLoad(init_1); function init_1() { console.log("in init_1()"); esriDojo.require("MyModules.Utilities.MyTestUtility"); esriDojo.addOnLoad(init_2); } function init_2(){ console.log("in init_2()"); } </script> </head> <body class="tundra"> <button esriDojoType="dijit.form.DropDownButton"> <span>Test DDBtn</span> <div esriDojoType="dijit.Menu"> <div esriDojoType="dijit.MenuItem" label="Some menu item 1"> <script type="dojo/method" event="onClick" args="evt"> console.log("ok 1"); </script> </div> <div esriDojoType="dijit.MenuItem" label="Some menu item 2"> <script type="dojo/method" event="onClick" args="evt"> console.log("ok 2"); </script> </div> </div> </button> </body> </html> Loren

Hi Kelly, Now that I have implemented the change in my real code my local resources (custom dijits) will no longer load. I get 'could not load cross-domain resources' errors now. All of my djConfig settings are the same still, and I have implemented all the reccommendations from the dojo folks found here. Any thoughts on why that might be breaking due to the namespace change? Thanks! - Loren

Hi, I have an app requirement in which I will need to convert esri's geometry objects in the JSAPI to WKT for use in sql server. I have done some searching but am not finding any tools for this conversion. Has anyone seen one? Built one? Thanks, Loren
