Roberts Custom WAB Widgets

That Flex site of mine you are referencing uses a asp.net web service to do the authentication and then returns the appropriate xml file string for that authenticated user. So no I really don't have an desire to produce a widget that has a secondary requirement like that.

Hi Robert,

Is there any interest in a mailing label or parcel report widget?

Thanks,

Andrew

Robert,

A Shapefiles Widget, as in Flex, would be great for WAB!!!! Hint hint....

Cheers,

Barnaby

Hi all,

I agree with Tom.

Github is a great tool, even with no-developper people in mind

With github :

For end-users:

- you can release versions with a zip (a production zip, even with minified files or widget if you want). You can share this zip link in geonet.

- you can have a readme.md in your github repo to show user-friendly documentation on installation, use or configuration. And even embed the release zip link and demo link in this readme.md.

This readme can be a great "entry point" to your widget for non-developpers.

It can be the only link you share in geonet.

For developpers :

- you allow developpers who want to contribute to your widget to use the very cool (and simple) github workflow : fork -> modify -> pull request.

For you, a pull request allow you to see very easily the modifications submited (diff between your version and the submitted version) and to accept it (or decline or discuss) in one click !

- if your commit's descriptions are clear, you have a very easy way to show improvments and debugs

Robert,

Do you or will you be providing a way to limit eSearch to current extents?

James,

Currently no, but that sounds like it should be added to the enhancement list.

Robert,

Your widgets are wonderful. They certainly were amazing in flex, and now in WAB. I am new to WAB, and am trying to figure some things out. I have the developer edition, and if I import a web app from my AGOL account, download and deploy it in my wwwroot folder, it works just fine. The second I add one of these custom widgets to the map, and I deploy it, I get an SSL timeout error after the loading page, and nothing happens. Even if I go back and then remove all custom widgets, it seems like the application is broken.

I added the widget directories in the config.json. Is there some other setting I am missing?

Also note, the web app functions just fine when using the web app builder in edit mode, or if I "launch it" from web app builder. I just cannot launch it on a local directory.

Rudie,

are your apps opening up with https as the first part of the url? Have you read Rebecca's blog

Tips and Observations for getting Web AppBuilder - Developer Edition Installed

Yes, the new app redirects to an HTTPS, even if I type http initially. The old app that I downloaded does not do this, but once the modifications are made, the app automatically redirects to https. She addresses an https issue, but it has to do with adding services from an arcgis server. I am adding only AGOL content
