Dear Emilien,
First of all thank your very much for your interest in our GE.
Please find below my answers, inlined in this email.
We need more information to be of any help. We do not know whether you
intend to use Wirecloud to "widgetize" the Claroline Connect platform and
allow users to configure their own dashboards/workspaces with the widgets
of their interest (or, similarly, whether you intend to preconfigure these
dashboards during the configuration of a new course) or, on the contrary,
you are thinking about using widgets within your portal. The first approach
is the most useful (e.g. Jira allows you to configure your own dashboard
using widgets, but does not has the power of Wirecloud behind the scenes so
it imposes more restrictions). The second approach is also feasible but you
will face more restrictions because what you are doing in the end is
publishing a mashup outside Wirecloud and embedded in your own portal.
Could you please further elaborate on your approach?
Regarding the two widgets you mention. Both of them are feasible if you
intend to embed html+javascript+css in them. In the end, a widget is
treated by the platform as a simple iFrame. A different question is how you
design it in terms of endpoints to make it more reusable (i.e. participate
in different mashups connected to different widgets). Moreover, regarding
the widget that identify users with a form (are you talking about a
registration/ sign up?) you can opt to use FIWARE IdM GE, Wirecloud
registration/sign in or your own approach as long as you manage to
integrate it with Wirecloud (many Django connectors/backends are supported
by Wirecloud).
Also take into account that you can deploy your own customized instances of
WireCloud (reference implementation of the Application Mashup GE) and
avoid the dependences with the FIWARE Lab portal (the mashup portal at
FIWARE Lab is based on Wirecloud, but you are locked-in with the FIWARE
IdM, etc.). You can also make modifications to it (maintaining the AGPL
license).
html+css+javascript, so their code will be downloaded by the client.
Nevertheless, when you upload a widget to Wirecloud, it is only accessible
from your account, unless you decide to publish it in the catalog/store and
share/sell it. The backend code is maintained "private" and you can choose
your own license for your widgets. The do not need to comply with AGPL.

Hi,
We're currently filling the template to apply for the first open call and we're planning to use Application Mashup for the project.
I have some questions regarding this GE.
We have a platform based on the e-learning platform Claroline Connect.
We would like to add a web application that is linked to Claroline Connect but only displays a limited amount of information to logged in users.
If I understood correctly what can be done with Application Mashup, I have to create 2 new widgets :
Is that correct?
If I create these two widgets, do I need to make them public, or can I develop some private widgets?
Could you tell me if I understand those things in the right way?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Regards,
Emilien Schneider
