ArcGIS Open Data - Widget Setup

MichaelOlkin

I'm testing the Open Data Beta, which seems to have some very promising features. It is entirely possible that I am missing something, but it appears that the Widget Editor for a Dataset Map is not working as intended. Attached is a screenshot of what I see, which is an endlessly spinning icon & a scrollbar that moves up and down. The primary group that I have designed as available for Open Data usage is http://amherstma.maps.arcgis.com/home/group.html?owner=olkin&title=Amherst%20MA%20GIS%20Map%20%26%20Data%20Sharing

There are actually two separate issues here that are leading to the confusion about what browsers you see this bug in.

If the site has not been made public (Public Access == On), the dataset widget and the map widget will not work properly in any browser on the admin page.
If you are using Firefox or Internet Explorer, the dataset widget and the map widget will not work properly.

These are due to issues with our API that we are addressing.

Hi Michael,

When configuring your site if you SAVE after you've assigned the groups, before you configure the home page, you will see the map options.

Hope that helps,

Thank you for the suggestion. I've actually saved the site several times since adding the groups, but I still have not been able to add dataset maps. I've allowed the widget to cycle for as long as 10 minutes, without receiving any listing of layers. I have configured a "Recent Data" listing, which does work, showing all of the layers in the groups, so I do know that there is valid data for the widget to query.

What browser are you using?

Thanks,
Andrew

MichaelOlkin

Firefox 29.0 on Windows 7.

MichaelOlkin

I've also tested this on IE 10 on Windows 7, as well as Safari 7 on Mac OSX 10.9.2. Same result.

Hi Michael,

I see the bug. I was able to reproduce with Firefox and will test with the other browsers.. In my original response, I used Chrome and did not reproduce.

We'll take a look at how/when we can fix it.

Thank you,
Andrew

MichaelOlkin

Great! Thank you! I'll use Chrome for the time being.

MichaelOlkin

I've tested it on Chrome 34 on Windows 7 & unfortunately the result is the same.

Hi Michael,

We'll take another look. The screen shot I provided was with your group using Chrome, but will see what else it could be.

Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew,
I am experiencing the same behavior in the widget as described by Michael.
Just a FYI in case you need more info.

Hi Daniel,

Are you seeing this in Chrome as well?

Thanks,
Andrew

Daniel_Brown

Yes, I am seeing this same behavior, just as Michael is.

I normally use Chrome, and my browser is up to date.
Same results in IE and Firefox.

Has this issue been fixed yet? I am not able to configure my dataset either as the scrollbar on the right keeps bouncing in IE 10 and the globe keeps spinning.

The issue is a bit deeper, so it hasn't been addressed in our past few updates but we are working on it. When we do fix it, we'll make sure to post.

I am having the same issue, which makes it impossible to truly test drive the platform. I am using Chrome, have my site set to public,have a bunch of feature services and maps set to be part of my Open Data group and have saved every which way, but still nothing will show up. I will look again tomorrow with other browsers, and some new test data.

CDPHGIS

Still the same problem today, used current versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE 11. I have tried all the suggestions I saw on the forum, but maybe have missed something.

Anonymous User

The data listing and map widgets still remain an issue that we need to address.

CDPHGIS

Thanks, Andrew. Is there another way to view content in the site then, that I am not seeing? (I may not have discovered all the documentation yet.)

Anonymous User

Hi Anne,

Currently the best way to know what content will be in your site, is to view the group in ArcGIS Online. We are working on a new widget that will provide a better list view, as well as an Admin experience that will show you a list of content available in your site.

Hope that helps,
Andrew

Thanks Andrew,

Yes I know I can designate and manage with AGOL, which is great.

But is it not via the data list or map widgets that the data can be displayed on the Open Data site homepage? I am looking at Detroit's site (http://d3.d3.opendata.arcgis.com/) and it seems that they are able to display data in the way you showed in the demo. Again, not to be dense, but am I missing something, and there is another way to do this besides the widgets? Or is it that those widgets have worked for some and not for others?

TIA

LeonScott

You could put a link on your page that will bring up the full data listing, if that helps. I know its not exactly a list on the homepage, but its a simple work around for the time being.

I took this syntax from the D3 site....

Thank you, Leon, that is exactly what I needed to at least get off the ground!

I still have had no luck in setting up a Dataset Map, but Leon's suggestion is quite helpful in providing a way to list all datasets that we have shared. This is what I am planning to use for now:

I just noticed there is a box on the bottom of the Widget Editor for the Dataset Map that you to paste your Dataset ID into. Get your item ID from the url of the item on arcgis.com

example...
https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=YourItemID123556

May I suggest setting an extent for your dataset map as a future enhancement. My map is a little boring looking, because the user needs to zoom in to see any features.
