Custom widget setting page cannot be summited

[AlfonsoYañez_Morillo]

Hi all,

I'm working on the setting page to set the url and fields a widget needs. I used the search widget as a model to follow. The setting page works fine getting the information, however there is one detail I cannot answer and makes the page useless. When I click on the OK button to accept the settings a popup appears with the message "Label Exists", but nothing happens; the getConfig Method is not called, so the config.json is not updated, and on the other hand the page is not closed.

Thanks for the help,

Alfonso

Thanks Robert,

Yes, it was strange. I also disabled the setting option in the manifest and the popup shows the config.json. But when I try to close the popup clicking on the OK button, happens the same. The same alert with the message “the label exists”. I was completely stuck because I thought was something in the code that changed something behind. I think code that manages the button was corrupted, so the panel that wraps the setting page didn’t work well. I created a new widget and copied the files there, and it worked.

I would like to raise new questions related with the same widget. If the source selected requires a token, what’s the way to ask if it is required and, is it a good idea to store the credentials in the widget’s config.json?

Thank you again

Alfonso,

  No do not store the credential in the config json as this is a easily readable file and can be easily read as it is passed from the server to the client. If the layer requires a login then just let WAB challenge the user with the identity manager to get the users login.
