How To Configure a Web Widget

New page

{{DISPLAYTITLE:Web Page Widget}}
[[Category:AppBoard 2.5]]
AppBoard enables the builder to create unique and custom visualizations. In some case, it is desired to include Widgets that simply present existing web content from a URL. The Web Widget provides this functionality.

== How To Create a Web Widget ==

For instructions on creating a Widget, see the general instructions in [[appboard/2.5/builder/widgets#Adding_Widgets|Adding Widgets]]. The Web Page Widget type is located under the Web category on the Widget selection screen.

== How To Configure a Web Widget ==

# Follow the instructions above to create the basic "Web Page" Widget.
# Enter the following information on the Data tab:
#* URL: Enter a web address of the content to be displayed in the Web Widget.
#: Example: http://www.edge-technologies.com
# Click Next to proceed to the Options tab.
# Enter the following information on the Options tab:
## [Optional] Configure the [[appboard/2.5/builder/widgets/options/show_help|Show Help]] Option.
# Click Next to proceed to the Actions tab.
# Click Add Event Action to configure one or more [[appboard/2.5/builder/widgets/actions|Actions]] to be invoked when a user clicks on the Web Widget.
# Click Finish.
# In the Builder Modes panel, select Builder and navigate to the appropriate Board to observe the new Web Widget.

== Streaming Video in a Wed Widget ==

Complete the following steps to configure the Web Widget to show streaming video:

# Follow the instructions from "How To Create a Web Widget" above to create the basic Web Widget.
# Configure the widget by placing the URL of the '''embedded''' video in the URL field.
#* '''Note:''' It is important to use the embedded form of the video to properly play back in the web widget.
#** example: http://www.youtube.com/embed/Lhlhj-_7Rrc not http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhlhj-_7Rrc (see figure below)
#* '''Note:''' If you want youtube videos to autostart you must append "?autoplay=1" to the url
#** example: http://www.youtube.com/embed/Lhlhj-_7Rrc?autoplay=1
# Go to the '''Builder''' and observe the new Web Widget with streaming video.

== Launch Contextual Content in a Web Widget ==

By combining AppBoard and enPortal, you can create special Widgets (called "Channels") that integrate web application GUIs. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to launch contextual content from an AppBoard Web Widget, see [[Launch_enPortal_Channel|Launching an enPortal Channel from a Widget]].

== Display enPortal PIM Content in a Web Widget ==

enPortal PIMs provide out-of-the-box integration of web application GUIs. You may want to display an enPortal channel on a Board in AppBoard. For a tutorial example of using an enPortal Channel to display an integration application GUI in an AppBoard Web Widget, see [[Web_Widget_PIM_Content|Display PIM Content in a Web Widget]].
