Roberts Custom WAB Widgets

I thought somebody else had requested or suggested that Robert make a Basemap Switcher Widget for WAB, similar to what he made for Flex. I now have my answer on the status of that. Thanks again.

Hi Robert,

Question from a newbie using webapp builder: how do I take one of your custom apps and inset/use into web app builder?

Thanks,

Bob

If you are talking about the ArcGIS Online version, you will not be able to do this without installing the WAB-developer edition locally. If that is the case, check out the resources you can find Web AppBuilder Developer Edition - Customization Resource List especially the link to Tapas Das' instructions.

Hi Robert,

I am very much interested in your Google Streetview widget. I have been using the AGOL WAB up on ESRI's site for a while now and I just downloaded the WAB for development on my desktop. I imported one of my apps from the ESRI AGOL site and added your Google Streetview widget to the app. I'm a bit thrown on the Google API key. I'm not a developer by trade, and I'm new to the Web App Builder and web but learning fast. I applied for my google api key and put it in but I am getting a circle with a line through it when testing and also saving and previewing. So, maybe I need to add some site referrers to the Browser API key? Great widgets! I'm a Flex fan so I wasn't sold on the WAB - you're helping to change that!

Maureen,

When you are using the widget inside WAB (i.e. not deployed to a web server yet) then you should leave the key blank. Only after you have downloaded your app and deployed it to your production web server do you need to use the KEY.

Thanks Robert,

I just got it to work. Only issue for us is, I don’t have an outward facing production server. I’m serving most of my data/apps up in ESRI’s cloud. So the question here is, can I turn around and put this application back up into the ESRI’s site for use with these widgets or not?

Thank you for your time and consideration,

I’m friends with Ken Carrier, and he has been helping me out a lot – he speaks highly of you.

Maureen,

Unfortunately not this is no of the most disappointing parts of the WAB product. Neither on premise portal or AGOL can use custom widgets only WAB Dev and you can not turn around and upload your app to AGOL for hosting there. Your only option is to have a pulic facing web server that you can deploy your app to.
