Onscreen Widget Customization for Cellular

[BrandonPrice]

Hello,

I would like to change the onscreen widgets for the mobile only. The desktop version has a bookmark and a near me widget. I would like to remove the near me entirely and then reduce the icon size and placement of the bookmark widget. I am using the tabbed theme. Is this easy to do?

Thanks,
Brandon

I also forgot to add that the desktop version has the bookmark widget openAtStart. Is that possible to take off for the mobile?

Brandon,

   In the apps main config.json there is a mobileLayout object which allows you to change the widgets visible when in mobile and there properties like openAtStart

That’s what I went to before I posted this question. The placeholders stayed the same. Is it suppose to work?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP · Accepted solution]

It does work. I use this all the time.

I believe the problem was that I added the widgets manually after the script was downloaded. Do you know a proper procedure for this? I stuck the downloaded widget folders in the configs and widgets folders and then it reflected okay in the desktop but not for the mobile.

Hmm.. I have not been down that road before. Is the widget listed in the mobilelayout portion of the config.json?

[BrandonPrice]

What looks like the placeholders for the onscreen widgets in the mobile part of the config.json have no name. Is this the way it’s suppose to be? I have attached both the mobile and desktop parts of the config.json.

Brandon,

  Unless you made some code changes to the app after you downloaded it to the web server it would be much easier to do all your configuration in WAB and download it again to your web server.

Hi Robert,

Unfortunately that is the case. I haven’t found anything yet. The desktop version works properly after I manually added the widgets. The mobile ones work ok but I can’t customize them like the desktop one.
