Hi,

I recently created a custom widget according with the documentation.

The strcuture is :

schemaW.zip

=> metadata.xml

=> ui/

=> schemaw/

=> schemaw.ide.css, etc (4 files + the icon)

When i import the custom widget as an extension, it's successful.

In the extension window i can see that my extension and my widget are loaded, but i can't retreive the widget in the list when i develop the mashup...

And all previous extension (as google maps widgets) are not loaded in the list too. I tryed many ways, deleting the extension , restarting tomcat and then importing, but still the same issue.

I'm running on Thingworx 6.5.

Any idea about this issue ?

Thanks

Hi,

So I have created a widget for use with ThingWorx and my structure in my zip file is

Top Level Folder named - ui and the metadata.xml file

inside ui I have a folder with my widgetname (for instance textboxupper in my case)

inside ui, I then have

images folder and 5 files

textboxupper.ide.css

textboxupper.ide.js

textboxupper.ide.png

textboxupper.runtime.css

textboxuppper.runtime.js

I think you are missing the ui folder level, just a thought.

If I were you I would start basic by just creating the exact same control as another control and renaming it and then doing the import and validating that everything works. I know some of the developers here have had problems when they have forgotten to rename an element, you might want to validate that everything is renamed properly as well, just a thought.

+1 for experiencing the exact same problem.

Suddenly my custom widgets just stopped showing in the list inside the Composer. Not even extensions from the marketplace update the widget list even though they obviously import successfully.

Please help?
