Sample Javascript Viewer

ChristianSmith

Does anyone know if the sample viewer team plans to upgrade, change / modify the JS sample viewer in the near future ?

Thanks

No one? I also need to know this

From talking with the ESRI folks at the Conference and through emails, there is no longer any support for the javascript sample viewer. If you want an upgraded version, you will need to do it yourself. There are posts in the old thread which tell you how to upgrade to at least 1.6

Hi,

we currently have no plans to update the ArcGIS API for Javascript Viewer Sample. This sample was posted early as an unsupported viewer. I encourage you to have a look at the ArcGIS.com Javascript Viewer. See recent blog post here.

Hello, Ismael, in the last 2011 ESRI European Conference, people from ESRI presented the "ArcGIS Viewer for Javascript", that could be accessed through the URL http://links.esri.com/javascript. Sorry, but I'm not able to find this configurable sample viewer for download and instructions to configure it. In the URL http://resources.arcgis.com/content/web/web-apps I have moticed that there is no reference to this viewer, while there are links to the "ArcGIS Viewer for Flex" and the "ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight". Have ESRI discontinued this viewer?
Best Regards,
Santiago Lastra.

It hasnt been updated in years. We extensively modified it when it came out, so we are basically committed to it. It was never template/drag and drop. It was always a customize the code type approach.

Apparently there are interest there, and Esri may not be able to pull enough resource together to do this anytime soon (considering original version has been unchanged for quite a few years), I was wondering if there is enough commitment from user community to produce one?

There are a couple approaches, such as upgrade from the original JS version, or start from one of the simpler templates on arcgis.com and evolve that into something equivalent to the counterparts in sliverlight or flex.

The current arcgis.com is quite good at authoring, but kind of missing the capability to customization, and the those customizable templates are not as comprehensive as the flex/silverlight viewers. Pre-defined query/search etc are completely missing(think the deprecated Web ADF), so there are lots of work, but I think the user community can pull it off with collective effort.

Thoughts?

ESRI seems to be committed to the ArcGIS.com hosted configuration solution for JavaScript, which is unfortunate for those of us whose IT infrastructure drops internet connectivity routinely or at all concerned with continuing to provide our applications in an EOC where the internet is lost.

The other viewers (Flex/Silverlight) have their own issues and will become depreciated as the popularity of those plug-ins decreases but they are much more GIS Specialist friendly (especially with the Flex Viewer application builder). Microsoft has already announced the lack of an upgrade path for Silverlight in the coming years- how far is Flash behind that?

A Sample JavaScript viewer is ideal all the way around and it would certainly help me move away from using the Sample Flex Viewer to serve our web applications. Unfortunately, I don't have the JS skills to produce such a viewer and every time I look at moving to JS, I am stymied by the push to the hosted configurations.

Hi Trevor,

Have you looked into the app templates from ArcGIS.com? You might be interested in the basic viewer app template.

Another option would be to use Portal to host your own ArcGIS.com�??like site.

TrevorWeiland

Derek,
I'm looking at a download of the basic viewer hosted on my local server right now it is the epitome of what my previous post talked about. It is way too dependent on internet connectivity for each of the clients- the first 25 lines are filled with references to externally hosted API links. Without severe modifications ( excising all external calls), it cannot replicate the stand-alone SFV as the old JS Viewer could.

The Portal might be an option �?? depending on price and cost to implement. However, the SFV seems to be the right answer for now but I feel like I'm sinking ever more development costs into a doomed product (Flash) and my alternatives are worse (although simply learning enough JS to build an Viewer from scratch may be worth it in the long run).

As I said, we have spent about a year extensively modifying the original Sample Viewer. It runs completely internally, as well as to the public, all from one server.

Hi jeff
your link doesn't work can you provide a new link
Please can you help me to solve this : i want to put the viewer in a div in aspx page and i want to interact between page events and the viewer itself: for example by clicking on a button in the aspx page i can add a marker on the map, change map extent, zooming to feature and all other map events ......

There were some votes on ideas.esri.com on this topic and even a "workspace" setup for it. Out of curiosity I requested access to it but there is nothing in the workspace. Makes me wonder if it is lack of need, interest, or resource.

Making the portal/arcgis.com viewer available for customization would be a quick win, I would be interested to know what's the barrier of preventing that from happening, is it supportability, licensing concern, or something else that end users are not supposed to know?

hcgis

thanks Jeff
what about integrating the viewer in aspx page
Another question: i want to hide the widget on top right (widgetcontroller with 3 buttons ) when starting or when no widget is opened and show it when i open a widget
many thanks

JeffPace1

I wouldnt put in aspx, but that is just a preference.

Hiding the widgetcontainer should be easy.

1: in the WidgetContainer,html add an id to line 2 and set to hidden for startup

<div class="widgetContainerControls widgetBox" id="wc" style="display:none;">

2: in WidgetContainer.js add code to toggle in opening and closing widgets
in onShowWidget
under if (widget)

...
if (widget) {
    dojo.style(dojo.byId("wc"),"display","block"); //if new widget, show controls

in closeWidget before the for loop add

 //last child
 if(children.length== 1){
              dojo.style(dojo.byId("wc"),"display","none"); //just closed last widget, hide controls
        }
//existing code
  for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
...

thanks Jeff it works

JeffPace1

anytime. Glad to help.

Do you have a link to your site?

HI Jeff
About the google maps widget , which license of google maps do you have or it's free.
Google sayed that we may not access the maps or satellite images through any mechanism besides the Google Maps APIs (see the paragraph Can I access the Maps and Satellite images directly? in this link)
Our website is a non-profit website, do we need a license?.
Please feel free to tell me what can i do to use google maps tile in our website.
many thanks

JeffPace1

We use the map api's , which are free. googles terms are difficult to say the least but i believe we follow the spirit.

Hi all i have upgraded the original 1.2 sample javascript viewer to 3.2 , but only the basic widgets.
if any one wants the code i can send it 🙂

Can you provide the updated javascript viewer? Appreciate!!!.

Yes Iris Hadar if you can post example code, you will be a hero for many of us! Thank you for your contribution.

We also need to create a basic GIS viewer website. We need to convert an existing site from Flex to a Javascript and HTML5 based site.

The Basic Viewer JavaScript Template is excellent. Only one problem as many others here have noted. It depends on ArcGIS.com. I am working on and researching trying to make this template work locally.

We need to switch it to point only to our servers and get rid of any external dependencies and links (i.e. to ArcGIS.com)

I like how I can easily set the Basic Template up on the ArcGIS.com with what layers I want, how it looks, extent etc. I wish I could just press a button now to make it point to our services. I have read in the other thread that with the "webmap" documentation you can somehow use JSON to do this. I'm just starting to learn all this web GIS programming so at first that sounded intimidating, so a template or guide would be greatly useful.

ESRI representatives since we are using ArcServer would this be a good Template to consider creating in the future? (That is already set up to use our own internal services (I guess it's fine if it points to the ESRI JS API as long as it's easy to change to point to a local copy if needed... which it already is easy as is, it appears).. I think this will definitely help sell ArcServer licenses because it makes it easier to use your software and ESRI ecosystem, of ArcGIS and taking it to the cloud.

Thank you for considering this.

I've attached a simplified version of the basic viewer that doesn't use an arcgis.com web map. Note that you'll have to add back in popups for layers and if your layers are editable or time-aware you'd have to add logic in to handle that functionality too.

Take a look at the createMap function to see how the template was modified.

I hope everyone is aware that we are talking about to very different viewers here.

the one Kelly posted is a version of the (more) recently released Basic viewer that removes the arcgis.com dependencies.

The one Iris was talking about was the original 1.2 api Javascript Sample Viewer (looks similiar to the Flex viewer).

Jeff, do you have code for the one that looks similar to flex viwer?

Kelly, Where do you add in the popup info and where is the 'createMap function'?
