Hello,

 

do we have a workshop or a guide for "how to create advanced widgets"? Because creating simple widgets is very easy.

 

I've created already some custom widgets for my company, so i have experiences with that, but now i'm running in an uknown issue. I'm trying to change the bahavior of the existent BarCodeSannner. I want to be able to scan continuously until the user presses the "cancel"-button. For this i copied all needed files, renamed the needed parts so that now we have the original "scan"-widget and the copied "scan2". At the widget "scan2" i've deleted the part where the scanner stops after a successful scan. But it seems that it is failing at the initializing part. i have checked everything and followed the same steps as i did at my other widgets but it doesnt work. this why i need an advanced guide but i cant find anything.

If you could provide more info - I know that there are times when the extension will not load - look into your studio logs. If you wish to share I could take a look

Did you use an existing extension as your start point? If yes

 

Check out this video that explores how to create an extension which allows you to get a feel for how the extensions are created - you maybe need help beyond this but if you can follow the content let me know

Yes, i made already extensions from existing widgets and it always works. I made also some widgets from scratch. I just think i miss some advanced knowledge and hope someone can help me.

 

For the video I have no rights to see. Is it possible to view it without registration?
