Roberts Custom WAB Widgets

Hi Robert, great job with all of your widgets! I have used pretty much all of them when I was using the Flex builder. I am currently switching over to the WebApp builder and I am installing and configuring a lot of your new widgets. My question is: I have a manhole spatial layer that is related to a measure down non-spatial table. In Flex, it automatically showed the related table once you identified a manhole. For some reason I can't get it to do the same thru the WebApp builder. I tried using your Identify widget and your enhanced search widget but neither shows the related table. Am I missing something?

Also, any thought on getting the GEORSS widget for traffic cameras working in the WebApp builder?

Thanks,

Mike

Mike,

Related tables is something that I have not spent any time working on yet in WAB. In the Flex world the I had a custom DataGrid widget that I developed with the eSearch that did all the relate stuff. In WAB I am using esri's Attribute Table Widget so I have limited control over it.

As far as the GeoRSS widget I have not seen the equivalent or done any work in this area for WAB.

Hey Robert Scheitlin, GISP

Is the use of widgets going to be supported with Server 10.4? I saw that it is pre-release and don't know what consequences of upgrading will do to the functionality of your custom widgets, if any.

Thanks,

Jordan

Jordan,

The backend ArcGIS Server being 10.4 should not affect the widgets operation to my knowledge.

Thanks Robert.

Has anybody that has been working with the WAB upgraded to the 10.4 (pre-release) yet?

Robert,

Quick question. Do you have any plans on creating an Aloha Widget similar to what you had in Flex or do you know of another way of getting this into WAB?

Thanks,

Nick,

I am about 95% complete on moving that to WAB.

Hi Robert,

I have an idea for a Security Widget to add to this list of totally awesome widgets you create. I hope I can explain this well enough. Let me know if this just won't work.

I have my splash screen displayed every time a user hits our website. The user cannot get by that splash screen (as far as I know), without checking the box and clicking OK. So could that idea be modified to contain / pass username and password credentials to a database? No matter how many times a user hits the index.html them will always be prompted to enter a username and password. The site will not work until correct credentials are entered and verified.

On the back end of the widget the user would be prompted to select a table (SQL?) that contains the username and password information. The widget config could also ask the admin to setup the username and password fields in the database. If the database is in SQL users can create the table in ArcDesktop and even manage the accounts from ArcDesktop.

Maybe I have over simplified this in my mind, but it seems the easiest way to secure the website is to have a WAB widget that opens at startup and forces users to enter correct information before they can use the site.

Thought?

Thanks,

Nick
