The idea behind the MediaBox Visualization Extension is to have on Visualization Extension for Qlik Sense which can serve different media types.
As of now the following media types are supported:
I am planning to support more media types, but I need your feedback! What are the media types you’d like to see supported by this visualization extension for Qlik Sense? So far these are the ideas I am working on
The project is published at GitHub: https://github.com/stefanwalther/qsMediaBox
This is the port of my Calendar Heatmap Extension to Qlik Sense.
Download it on github.com/stefanwalther/qsCalendarHeatmap
I have created this Visualization Extension for Qlik Sense for a customer who is presenting some dashboards in kiosk mode and wanted to include a QR Code to point to some offerings on their website.
You can download this Visualization Extension from GitHub.
I have created this tool for my daily work. Instead of always reinventing the wheel and setting up a project structure for Qlik Sense Extensions, I prefer to let it generated.

I hope will see you there – I’m sure it will be fund, and I am really lookking forward to see the results at the evening on Sunday!!!
BTW, I’ll also show you some new nice QlikView.Next related examples – if you like …

Using Bootstrap CSS in Qlik Sense Visualization Extensions
Posted in QlikTips, Visualization Extension
Since Twitter’s Bootstrap library is very famous and common nowadays it’s quite natural that you might want to use Bootstrap styles within your Qlik Sense visualization extensions.
But …
If you just start straightforward and try to load Bootstrap’s CSS (which can be downloaded from here), you’ll not be that happy because something definitely unwanted happens. The styling of Qlik Sense completely crashes because of CSS conflicts respectively Bootstrap’s CSS is overruling some of Qlik Sense’ CSS styles:
Solution
But there’s an easy solution for this problem available. What we basically have to do is to “scope” Bootstrap’s style only to our extension and not to the rest of the document, so something like this
There is already a W3C proposal available to solve this problem, which allows you to create scoped CSS by adding the `scoped` attribute to a style element (read more here). Unfortunately this solution is – frankly speaking – not widely supported.
But you can achieve the same result with standard CSS:
Now it’s certainly not a practical solution to change the entire CSS library of Bootstrap manually. Just too much work and would also break if there are Bootstrap updates. Fortunately Bootstrap uses Less to generate the CSS, a CSS pre-processor which helps you to write cleaner CSS definitions.
Step by step instruction
The following instructions assume that you are familiar with the basics of Node.js, Bower and Grunt (or Gulp). All the steps demonstrated below can also be achieved manually or with other tools, but this just seems to be the easiest way for me.
BootstrapExtension
)bower_compoents
inside the folderBootstrapExtension
. If you look into\BootstrapExtension\bower_components\bootstrap\less
you’ll find all .less based styles of Bootstrap. The filebootstrap.less
is the entry point for generating the entire Bootstrap CSS._root.less
)bootstrap_inside
class:.bootstrap_inside
, so instead of generating.btn
our less file will then generate.bootstrap_inside .btn {}
Generating the CSS output
Now we can use Grunt for generating the CSS based on the .less files with just a few simple steps
Gruntfile.js
)grunt
in the command line and you’ll see a folder output appearing containing a file named scoped-bootstrap.css with the generated styleThe output:
Improvements
You can certainly do some improvements to this basic concept:
