Hi friends,

does anyone have some practical experiences with implementing catalog widgets into Kentico portal? We provided our customer with standard catalog widgets and he somehow integrated it into the portal, but it doesn't work much.

 

The behavior is different in different browsers - for example in chrome you even can't submit the request - the Submit button simply do nothing with endless spinning wait icon and there are some error messages in Chrome (f.e. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined). 

 

If we use the widget standalone (not integrated in the portal) everything seems to be OK, or at least the behavior is better..

Correct Answer

Just to update the topic...

 

Fortunately, the answer for "is possible to integrate the CA widgets to Kentico portal?" is YES

 

Below is the almost complete version of integrated request widget (with some CSS customizations). 

 

Some principles we used for the integration:

  • the piece of the portal which displays widgets don't use any jquery, but only pure JavaScript. This resolved the conflicts between Kentico and CA jquery versions
  • we use SDM WS calls (getArtifact) for obtaining artifact which can be used for SC authentication
  • for displaying the widgets, we use a similar approach as in the HTML page examples which are on SC server ( folder ..\view\webapps\usm\*.html)

 

I hope this will help someone in the future...

Jakub
