Hello,
I am working on creating an extension (1st time). I'm looking to implement a pop up form/dialogue box (modal) for a "help" section so when a user hovers or clicks on this "help" box/button a dialogue will open to show the generic "contact us" information.
I have been researching all day to understand how building qlik extension works. I've went through qliks documentation, few of the notable users on the qlik discussion forums version of building qlik extension but still stuck in some areas. I know you have a .qext (metadata) file and a .js file that actually renders what you want in the extension. I've brought in my dependencies for everything I'll be using and created a dummy sample that seems to work. Now, I tried to mimic (literally copy and paste) W3 schools example of what I want implemented but can never get any results. I get the "visualization not in server.. etc" error. Here is the link from W3 schools - https://www.w3schools.com/bootstrap/bootstrap_modal.asp
My question is, how do I make my css, html, and js file all communicate? When I created a mash up, it breaks it down by css, html, js so when I take some code and put it in their respective areas and preview the mash up I am able to see how it looks. Whereas, in the qlik extension building process I never get any results.
After much reading, it seems like you intertwine and throw in your javascript underneath the paint (rendering) section. I've tried this and many other ways but cannot get it to show me any results. I guess mainly the question I'm asking here is - does anyone have a good guide that explains these kind of details? Or can someone offer some guidance on where to look? Much appreciated.
