ArcGIS flex viewer 3.1 Identify Widget

ManuelRodriguez2

I am fairly new to using custom widgets. I have copied the compiled widget folder over and added the text the the config.xml file. The widget loads correctly in the viewer but I can not get it to detect any features in the map at all. Even with the <layers onlythese="false">. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Manuel,

So when you say:

I have copied the compiled widget folder over

you do mean the contents of that folder right? And you copied the contents (i.e. Identify Folder) under your FVs widgets folder right? Are you using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.1?

ManuelRodriguez2

I copied the folder

\Software\Widgets\IdentifyWidget.zip\compiled_FV3.1\Identify to the folder

\inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers\WGPSNTest\widgets. Yes I am using Flex Viewer 3.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Manuel,

The fact that you have flexviewers in your path leads me to believe that you are using or have used Application Builder... Is that the case? If so then there is a much easier way for you to add the identify widget to your app.

ManuelRodriguez2

I am using app builder. I have added the widget through the manage custom widgets option and am getting the same results.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Manuel,

Do you have any operational layer in your map?

ManuelRodriguez2

I have loaded layers from 3 different services i have published.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Do your services have the ObjectID and Shape fields visible in the MXDs for all the layers that you wish to identify?

I'm having a similar problem trying to get the Identify widget up and running. Nothing gets returned. What is the easier way to add the Identify widget?
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,

If you built the app using App Builder with an earlier version and then did the upgrade in the cuurent 3.1 version there seems to be some issue with the upgrading of a site. If you fall into this case then you just need to create a new site using App Builder 3.1. The easier way I was referencing in the earlier post was reffering to using the advanced settings and adding the widget using the manage custom widgets.

AndrewIng

I have built a site using App Builder 3.1; added the Identify Widget from the Advanced settings but still get the same results. Code for my layer below...
<layers onlythese="false">
<layer>
            <name>Property</name>
   <url>http://198.167.37.68/arcgis/rest/services/BaseData/FeatureServer/6</url>

Andrew,

The issue is that a FeatureServer does not support the IdentifyTask like a MapServer does, thus your configuration is invalid. It looks like you are use an ArcGIS Online for organizations account and the only service type I am aware of that is provided is a FeatureServer so I don't know what to tell you.

AndrewIng

I thought it might be a Feature vs Map Service issue but I couldn't find any documentation. I'll try with a Map Service. Thank you for your help Robert.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrew,

Version 3.1.2 now supports using AGO FeatureServer layers.

AndrewIng

Thanks Robert, I've been reconfiguring my website to include both feature server and mapserver (dynamic) layers with no results on the Identify tool. I will now install your latest version of the tool and see what happens.
Thanks,
Andrew

RosyChawla1

Was this problem resolved? I am having similar issues with identify widget for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex - Application Builder.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Rosy,

Did you see post 10 above?

AndrewIng

Hi Robert,
I'm still unable to get any results from the Identify widget. So I'm using ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1, Application Builder 3.1 and have installed your 3.1.4 version of the widget using Manage Custom Widgets. I have attached the XML code for both the Config file and the Widget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew

XML.zip

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrew,

So are you not getting any results at all for any layer, or is it just the property layer that you have configured?

AndrewIng

No results to any layer!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrew,

So the widget does appear when you click the icon and when you one of the widgets identify tools to draw on the map no results are returned?

In you main config.xml I see one issue. There is currently no space between the config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml" and the label="Identify" This is poor xml syntax and would cause an issue.

        <widget url="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.swf" config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml"label="Identify" icon="assets/images/i_info.png"/>

The other thing I don't like is the extra forward slash behind all your MapServer urls "MapServer/" delete those extra trails forward slashes.

AndrewIng

Thank I'll give that a try.

AndrewIng

Hi Robert,
I made the changes to the code and still don't get any results from the Identify Tool from the Property Layer or any other.
Screen grab attached.
Andrew

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrew,

When you leave the drop down list as All Layers does it return any results (make sure you are clicking somewhere you would get other data back, try using the select by rectangle tool)?

AndrewIng

Yes, I've tried every combination of tool and layer and still nothing?!?

TristanKnowlton

I am having a similar issue. I have a single layer plugged into the Identify widget. When I click a feature, it highlights it and shows the fields in the widget window. However it will not populate the field with the attribute data. The fields are configured with the name of the field according to the rest endpoint and I have given an alias to the field as well. I have tried everything I can think of to try to solve the problem.

I have attached a screenshot of the widget in action in my viewer and I have pasted in the .xml file below if anyone would like to take a look and offer any suggestions.

Darryl,

Using exactly what you posted (even though there is an error in your commenting you need to work on.) I was able to identify your parcels using my latest version of the identify widget.

Well this is a fantastic problem. Thanks for checking Robert!

Andrew,

Can you start a new site in App builder and add the identify widget and maybe just one of the map services you want to identify as an operational layer and then in the identify widgets config file to this:

Hi Robert,
That code worked. When I use to Identify widget it returns all information for operational and basemap layers. If I set <excludebasemaps> to true nothing gets returned and if I add my layer information I get an error.
