Customize Larry Stout WelWhatDisHelpAbout Widget

[TerryGustafson]

I was wondering if anyone has done any customization of this widget?  I'm trying to figure out how to do the following.  when I click on the help button it opens the welcome screen.  Then before I can access the help for the widgets I have to close that window and reopen it.  I would like the help for the widgets the first time I open the help widget.  TIA

I know Larry isn't on GeoNet as much as he was, but doesn't hurt to tag him too Larry Stout​

How do I do that?

[RebeccaStrauch__GISP]

Oh sorry Terry.....I did that in the above message.  The way to tag someone in GeoNet is to start by typing the "@" sign and then their name....with an _ between the names.  You can also do that to cross post in other areas with a group or place name instead.

So to tag you   Terry Gustafson​

Just info for the future.

By the way, I have links to many of Larry's tools, including the Anvil tool.  I would look into some of those and the help he provides in links.

Which you probably have already looked at, but doesn't hurt to include it again.

Hi Terry,

I have been playing around with this widget for the last couple of weeks and what I did was remove the line of code under WidgetHelp in the strings.js file that says:

WidgetHelpLocked: "Widget Help: Not available during start up.",

It was line 106.

Hope this works for you too.

I tried it but it did not work for me..  Thanks for the info though..

[TerryGustafson]

It must be some setting as when you open Larry's some of the help menus are available and then when you select continue the rest of them become available.

I had to add true to this line the WelWhatDisHelpAbout.js file.

'WelWhatDisHelpAbout/open', lang.hitch(this, '_openThisWidget', true));

Terry Gustafson,

Have you got this working on 1.3? I have downloaded the code and made the amendments above but it appears like so. I need to configure it so it sits inside the help widget box.
