GCube Widgets Store

gCube Widgets Store

This page lists the available (reusable) GWT Widgets that developers can integrate in their GWT Projects/portlets if they need to.

Every Widget listed is provided with a screenshot and instructions on how to integrate it.

Available Widgets:

Select the Style

If you want to use the default style just skip this. If you want to use the GXT style instead you have to add the following directive to your WebApp main css stylesheet:

@import url('$MODULE_NAME/old-dialog.css');

Where $MODULE_NAME is the name of your gwt module: example:

if you open your gwt.xml file the module name is the value of the rename-to attribute

<module rename-to='myapplicationname'>

then you would add at the top of your application main css stylesheet the following:

@import url('myapplicationname/old-dialog.css');

Session Checker Widget

Description:

A lightweight widget to display a dialog informing the user that her session has expired. Very useful for GWT web applications. The widget polls the server every 45 seconds to check if the session is alive, when is not it pops up a dialog suggesting the user to reload the page. When the session expires your web app will be masked and no other user actions will be available other than reloading the page.

Please note: It can happen that your webapp needs to do something when session expires, to get to know when the session expires in your webapp listen for the {@link SessionTimeoutEvent} on the {@link HandlerManager} instance you will have to pass to this widget (in this case).

Please note again: It can happen that your webapp or you want to handle the session expiration without showing the expiration popup below, if so please use the CheckSession#setShowSessionExpiredDialog(boolean showSessionExpiredDialog) method, make sure you pass your event bus though.

Maven coordinates:

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.gcube.portlets.widgets</groupId>
        <artifactId>session-checker</artifactId>
	<version>LATEST</version> (Current is <version>0.2.0-SNAPSHOT</version>)
</dependency>

Add the following to your project .gwt.xml file:'

	<inherits name='org.gcube.portlets.widgets.sessionchecker.SessionChecker' />

Usage Example: just put the following line of code in your WebApp onModuleLoad() method

//if you do not need to something when the session expire
CheckSession.getInstance().startPolling();
 
//if you need to do something when session expires
CheckSession.getInstance(eventBus).startPolling();
 
//eventBus is a com.google.gwt.event.shared.HandlerManager instance of your webapp

FileUpload Progress Bar Dialog

Description:

Use this widget to display a dialog containing the possibility to upload a file on server with an actual progress of the current uploaded file in percentage; To get to know which file was uploaded listen for the {@link FileUploadCompleteEvent} on the {@link HandlerManager} instance you will have to pass to this widget. There is also the possibility to handle the submit by your own, for instance if you want to allow only a given file type to upload. To do so use the other constructor (the one with the boolean param) and listen for the {@linkFileUploadSelectedEvent}. See the example below.

• to include a thumbnail for the item use PickItemsDialog#withPhoto

You are ready to use it.

Workspace Explorer

Description: This widget allows your application to open a popup/panel containing the user workspace. It gives the possibility to users to either select a file/folder from the workspace or save a file in a desired workspace folder.

Screenshots:

Save As... Select an Item...

For Instance:

You can use WorkspaceExplorerSelectDialog to show a dilaog to select a file/folder of the workspace. WorkspaceExplorerSelectPanel if you want use a panel instead of a dialog (with same listener).

• An use case of WorkspaceExplorerSelectDialog and its listener WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener (to listen the dialog events):

	final WorkspaceExplorerSelectDialog navigator = new WorkspaceExplorerSelectDialog("WorkpspaceExplorer", false);
 
		WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener  listener = new WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener() {
 
			@Override
			public void onSelectedItem(Item item) {
				GWT.log("onSelectedItem: "+item); 
				navigator.hide();	
			}
 
			@Override
			public void onFailed(Throwable throwable) {
				GWT.log("onFailed..");
 
			}
 
			@Override
			public void onAborted() {
				GWT.log("onAborted..");
 
			}
 
			@Override
			public void onNotValidSelection() {
				GWT.log("onNotValidSelection..");
 
			}
		};
 
	navigator.addWorkspaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener(listener);
	navigator.show();

You can use WorkspaceExplorerSaveDialog to show a dialog to select the location (workspace path) where the user wants save the file (with chosen name). WorkspaceExplorerSavePanel if you want use a panel instead of a dialog (with same listener).

• An use case of WorkspaceExplorerSaveDialog and its listener WorskpaceExplorerSaveNotificationListener (to listen the dialog events):

	final WorkspaceExplorerSaveDialog navigator = new WorkspaceExplorerSaveDialog("fileName.txt", true);
 
	WorskpaceExplorerSaveNotificationListener listener = new WorskpaceExplorerSaveNotificationListener(){
 
		@Override
		public void onSaving(Item parent, String fileName) {
			GWT.log("onSaving parent: "+parent +", fileName" +fileName);
			navigator.hide();
		}
 
		@Override
		public void onAborted() {
			GWT.log("onAborted");
		}
 
		@Override
		public void onFailed(Throwable throwable) {
			GWT.log("onFailed");
		}
	};
 
	navigator.addWorkspaceExplorerSaveNotificationListener(listener);
        navigator.show();

Moreover, for all instance above, you can use a constructor to filter the workspace items for: Mime Types, File Extensions and (Workspace) Properties. You must create a FilterCriteria object and use the specific constructor to use filtering.

GXT 2/3 notes:

GWT-Bootstrap uses a static z-index (in css class: modal, modal-backdrop) to show the modal view. Therefore to avoid a wrong order among windows GXT (2/3), GWT and GWT-boostrap, you must set z-index (via setZIndex method) to the Workspace-Explorer dialogs (WorkspaceExplorerSelectDialog and WorkspaceExplorerSaveDialog) to override static use. So, if you use GXT (2 or 3) in order to preserve the Windows disposition (using same z-index sequence), you can read topZIndex() from (GXT) XDOM class and use it to setZIndex to the Workspace-Explorer dialogs.

Workspace Resources Explorer

Description: You can use WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel to show a panel to navigate the workspace starting from ("YOUR_FOLDER_ID") input folder for its descendants and go back through the breadcrumbs.

Screenshots:

Load Simple Panel

• An use case of WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel and its listener WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener (to listen the events):

		try{
 
			WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel wsResourcesExplorerPanel = new WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel("YOUR_FOLDER_ID", false);
 
			WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener listener = new WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener() {
				@Override
				public void onSelectedItem(Item item) {
					GWT.log("Listener Selected Item " + item);
				}
 
				@Override
				public void onFailed(Throwable throwable) {
					GWT.log("There are networks problem, please check your connection.");
				}
 
				@Override
				public void onAborted() {
				}
 
				@Override
				public void onNotValidSelection() {
				}
			};
 
			wsResourcesExplorerPanel.addWorkspaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener(listener);
 
			ScrollPanel panel = new ScrollPanel();
			panel.setWidget(wsResourcesExplorerPanel);
			panel.setSize("450px", "250px");
 
			RootPanel.get("tester").add(panel);
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

Load Advanced Panel by FilterCriteria and ShowProperties

Screenshots:

• An advanced use case of WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel and its listener WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener (to listen the events) that:

1- accept a 'filterCriteria' parameter that invoke WS filtering in turn on MimeTypes, gCube Properties and File Extensions;

2- accept a 'showProperties' parameter that visualises some properties of the objects directly in separate columns;

	List<String> showProperties = new ArrayList<String>();
	showProperties.add("key00");
	showProperties.add("key01");
	showProperties.add("key05");
	FilterCriteria filterCriteria = new FilterCriteria();
	Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
	map.put("key05", "value05");
	filterCriteria.setRequiredProperties(map);
	final WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel wsResourcesExplorerPanel = new WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel("YOUR FOLDER ID", false, showProperties, filterCriteria);
 
	WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener listener = new WorskpaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener() {
 
		@Override
		public void onFailed(Throwable throwable) {
			GWT.log("There are networks problem, please check your connection.");
		}
 
		@Override
		public void onAborted() {
		}
 
		@Override
		public void onNotValidSelection() {
		}
 
		@Override
		public void onSelectedItem(Item item) {
		}
	};
 
	wsResourcesExplorerPanel.addWorkspaceExplorerSelectNotificationListener(listener);
 
	ScrollPanel panel = new ScrollPanel();
	panel.setWidget(wsResourcesExplorerPanel);
	panel.setSize("450px", "250px");

Moreover, you can update on-the-fly "properties" and/or "filter criteria" used for an instance of WorkspaceResourcesExplorerPanel, creating a new instance of ShowProperties and/or FilterCriteria and by using it/them through the following method/s:

     wsResourcesExplorerPanel.updatesFilterCriteria("new filterCriteria");
     wsResourcesExplorerPanel.updatesShowProperties("new showProperties");
     wsResourcesExplorerPanel.updatesFiltersAndProperties("new filterCriteria", "new showProperties");

Maven coordinates:

		public void onOverwriteCompleted(String parentId, String itemId) {
		        GWT.log("Upload Override Completed: [parentID: "+parentId+", itemId: "+itemId+"]");
 
		}
		};
 
	uploadStream.addWorkspaceUploadNotificationListener(listener);
	uploadStream.center();

How to use MultipleDNDUpload:

	final MultipleDNDUpload dnd = new MultipleDNDUpload();
	dnd.addUniqueContainer(/*YOUR CONTAINER TO MASK DURING DRAG*/);
		WorskpaceUploadNotificationListener listener = new WorskpaceUploadNotificationListener() {
 
			@Override
			public void onUploadCompleted(String parentId, String itemId) {

Workspace Sharing Widget

Description: This widget allows your application to open a dialog allowing users to share workspace item to other users via the gCube System.

Full Version: The sharing dialog sends the selected users to server library (Home Library, see: https://gcube.wiki.gcube-system.org/gcube/index.php/Home_Library) to store sharing data.

Screenshot:

Full Version usage example:

                String ITEMID = "1232223-45678-12345-124a-12345678909"; //A workspace item ID;
 
		/**
			 * This controller instance the sharing dialog
			 * @param itemId workspace item id
			 * @param shareOnlyOwner if true, only owner can share, otherwise an alert with an error message is displayed
			 * @param defaultPermission ACL_TYPE default permission, if is null default ACL_TYPE is loaded from server
			 */
			WorkspaceSharingController controller = new WorkspaceSharingController(ITEMID, true, ACL_TYPE.READ_ONLY);
 
			final Dialog sharingWindow = controller.getSharingDialog();
 
			Button openSharingWindow = new Button("Show Sharing Window", new ClickHandler() { 
				public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
							sharingWindow.show();
					}
			});

Smart Version: The sharing dialog provides the selected users as InfoContactModel or CredentialModel (see 'Smart Version usage example')

Screenshot:

Smart Version usage example:

			FileModel file = new FileModel("id", "filename", false);
 
/**
			 *  This controller instance the smart sharing dialog
			 * @param file - a fake file to display the field name ("filename") into dialog
			 * @param listAlreadySharedContact
			 */
 
			WorkspaceSmartSharingController controller = new WorkspaceSmartSharingController(file, null);
 
                        /*Set those values to customize the labels of Smart Share Dialog fields*/
 
		    	SmartConstants.ITEM_NAME = "Item Name";
	                SmartConstants.SHARE_WITH_USERS = "Share with users";
	                SmartConstants.HEADER_TITLE = null; //if null sets the header title for the panel as "Share [Folder Name]"
	                SmartConstants.ADD_MORE = "Add More";
	                SmartConstants.ERROR_NO_USER_SELECTED = "You must pick at least one user with which share the folder";
 
			final Dialog sharingWindow = controller.getSharingDialog();
 
			Button openSharingWindow = new Button("Show Sharing Window", new ClickHandler() { 
				public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
							sharingWindow.show();
					}
			});
 
	                sharingWindow.getButtonById(Dialog.OK).addListener(Events.Select, new Listener<BaseEvent>() {
 
			@Override
			public void handleEvent(BaseEvent be) {
 
				if(sharingWindow.isValidForm(true)){
					//THAT'S OK
 
					sharingWindow.getSharedListUsers(); //@return the selected contacts (as InfoContactModel)
 
					sharingWindow.getSharedListUsersCredential(); //@return the selected contacts (as CredentialModel)
 
					for (InfoContactModel contact : sharingWindow.getSharedListUsers()) {
						System.out.println(contact);
					}
 
					for (CredentialModel credential : sharingWindow.getSharedListUsersCredential()) {
						System.out.println(credential);
					}
 
				}
 
			}
		});

Guided Tour Widget

Please refere to the dedicated Guided Tour Widget wiki page

Callout Tour Widget

The Callout Tour Widget allows you to create nice guided tours for your pages. It is based on the Hopscotch framework and the Gwt-Tour widget you can find here. The Callout Tour Widget extends the Gwt-Tour widget.

To use the Callout widget in your project you have to follow these steps:

1) Add this dependency to your pom.xml file

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.gcube.portlets.widgets</groupId>
	<artifactId>callout-tour</artifactId>
	<version>[1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT)</version>
</dependency>

2) Add this inherit-line in your *.gwt.xml file

<inherits name='org.gcube.portlets.widgets.widgettour.WidgetTour' />

3) and, finally, add in the web.xml these lines (which allow to communicate with the tour-manager library)

<servlet>
	<servlet-name>widgettourServlet</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>org.gcube.portlets.widgets.widgettour.server.TourManagerServicesImpl</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>widgettourServlet</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>/{your-current-portlet-path}/tourmanagerservice</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Please check and substitute  {your-current-portlet-path} properly.

Now you are ready to use it. For example:

/*
 * Create a new GCubeTour object. The parameters are:
 * - the identifier of the tour;
 * - the identifier of the portlet (it must be unique);
 * - the version number (if you change the guided tour, you are suggested to increase this value);
 * - a question to ask to the user that finishes to look the tour (otherwise the default one will be used);
 * - a title for the final callout.
 */
GCubeTour tour = new GCubeTour("tour-example", "user-statistics-portlet", 2, null, "VRE Tour");
 
/*
 * Show the "Previous" button
 */
tour.setShowPrevButton(true);
 
/*
 * Add the number of steps you need here. The different callouts will be positioned near (choose
 * their position by means of the Placement class) the objects  you specify (for example, "heading" is the id
 * of a div into the page).
 */
TourStep firstStep = new TourStep(Placement.BOTTOM, "heading");
firstStep.setContent("Welcome to this VRE. Click next to see what if offers to you");
firstStep.setTitle("Welcome");
firstStep.centerXOffset();
firstStep.centerArrowOffset();
tour.addStep(firstStep);
 
/*
 * .... more stuff here;
 */
 
/*
 *  start the tour
 */
tour.startTour();

The Widget uses Liferay's custom fields to remember if a user doesn't want to see again the tour. You are suggested to use a unique portlet identifier because this value will be the name of the custom field. Moreover, if you release a new tour and you want that every user see it, just increment the version number.

A step of the tour will look like this:

If the user pushes "Done" or tries to exit, a popup message appears and let he/she choose what to do:

Image Previewer Widget

The image previewer widget is a responsive gwt widget that can be used to show image previews without forcing the user to download the images themselves (even if, of course, this can be done). In order to use it, you have to follow these steps:

1) Add this dependency to your pom.xml file

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.gcube.portlets.widgets</groupId>
	<artifactId>image-previewer-widget</artifactId>
	<version>[1.0.0-SNAPSHOT, 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT)</version>
</dependency>

2) Add this inherit-line in your *.gwt.xml file

<inherits name="org.gcube.portlets.widgets.imagepreviewerwidget.ImagePreviewer"/>

That's it. Now, in your code you can do the following

/*
 * Create the Carousel object
 */
 Carousel carousel = new Carousel();
 
/*
 * Create a list of EnhancedImages. An EnhancedImage allows to specify:
 * - the image download url;
 * - the title to show in the header when the image is shown;
 * - a tooltip to show over the image;
 * - a tooltip to show over the title.
 */
 List<EnhancedImages> list = new ArrayList<>();
 EnhancedImage image = new EnhancedImage(/* .... */);
 list.add(image);
 ...
 
/*
 * Give this list to the Carousel
 */
carousel.updateImages(list);
 
/*
 * Start the Carousel when you are ready.
 */
carousel.show();

The result will look like this.

The widget will automatically adapt to your window's size. Left and right navigation arrows can be hidden if unneeded.
