Hello!

First, Thank you for the map gallery! It has made displaying our maps and applications soo much better and simpler for the public! I have two questions: I need my applications to open in a separate window when the users view them (cannot find where to do this!!). Some people find it difficult to navigate back to the gallery. Next, in the elections gallery (which only is using a simple viewer) my zoom arrows are not working?? I am not a programer, but have gained limited experience with all our online apps we have now.

Map Gallery: http://publicgis.bartowga.org/

Elections Gallery: Bottom Left Corner of Gallery or at http://publicgis.bartowga.org/elections/index.html

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hi Jacqueline, Thanks for the feedback!

In settings.optional.js, there should be an option to open all gallery items in a new window. Try setting it to true. Let me know if that works for you.

// Open gallery thumbnail links in a new window/tab
pmgConfig.openGalleryNewWindow = false;

The 2nd problem is a bit trickier. It seems as if the map has no levels of detail set. I think the zoom bar isn't working correctly on arcgis.com either. http://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=6727d675d12c4eb88e8ea7986186b313

Is there any way you can add levels of detail to the basemap? If not, i'll have to do some creative thinking.

Thanks

MattDriscoll

Thanks. I'll throw Vijai's fix in the code if it can't find the extent.

Thanks Matt for your help. Yes, my locator is not outputting extents. I don't know of a way to create such a locator, I haven't noticed any options related to extents while creating my locator. I've used the standard menu driven way to create my locator. Is there a way to make the locator output extents in addition to X,Y?

I was able to find a workaround for my issue. I changed the following lines in ShowResults function in layout.js. I've used the X,Y that my locator is returning and came up with a buffer around the point for the extents.
var xminNew = parseFloat(geocodeResults[numResult].location.x-0.011);
var yminNew = parseFloat(geocodeResults[numResult].location.y-0.011);
var xmaxNew = parseFloat(geocodeResults[numResult].location.x+0.011);
var ymaxNew = parseFloat(geocodeResults[numResult].location.y+0.011);
This seems to work for now.

Thanks to both Vijai and Matt for the answer, got it to work too!

Hi Vijai,

Yep, that will work! I'm not sure how to get a custom locator to output extents. I know for our locator, in order to get the extent North, West, South, East, with the addressToLocations function, you have to pass "*" to get the extent. Maybe it's the same with your locator?

.addressToLocations(address,["*"]);

Parish_ofAscension

In the showResults function, the locator converts the point and extent separately from geographic to web mercator and then sets the extent and adds the graphic. It sounds like maybe the extent is already in web mercator or maybe the extent is not getting returned from the locator. It might be good to check and see if the locator is returning all columns and results and that the extent (west,south,east,north) is set. Can you console.log() an extent that is returned and see what it says?

Hope that helps.

Greetings;
I have created two address locators, one for address points and one for streets; I have combined them into a composite locator and published as a service in ArcGIS server. The spatial reference of participating locators are in state plane and the composite address locator in GCS_WGS_1984. Then in PMG template, I changed �??pmgConfig.locatorURL�?� variable in �??settings.optional.js�?� to point to my published locator service.

Now, when I access my PMG maps, and start typing in few characters in search box, I can see the autocomplete feature showing the related entries as I type. When I click on the search result to go to the location, the map pans to the coast of Africa and when I zoom out, I do see a point marked in the correct place. I don�??t know why the location is correctly marked but the map pans to a wrong place. I appreciate your help in this matter.

FYI, I used �??42105 churchpoint rd, gonzales�?� as my search criteria. You can see my locator returns X,Y very similar to ESRI�??s built in locator. The spatial reference of both of the following locators are 4326.
My Locator:

Locator from PMG:

I am having the same thing happen. I've tried multiple locator services and always end up with the marker drawn in the correct location, but the map has changed the extent. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Small bug I found:

Hello,
I am writing again to ask a new question arises about me web template:
Is there any way to implement this type of map to my maps public gallery?

The objective would be for him to be something like in the photo montage that attachment.

Hi Jennifer,

Something like that should be possible. If the arcgis.com item is a web application that is not a web map, I would have it open in modified copy of the map.html file which takes the web application's URL and puts it into an iframe inside the map.html file. Some HTML/Javascript will be involved to do this. It seems like you're trying to put a web application URL inside of the simple viewer template and the best way I can think of to do that would be to use an iframe.

Hope that helps. Thanks

If we are talking about the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps, I would like to mention FriendCaller VoIP here. I use it daily on my iPhone 4S and I m pretty much pleased. You might try as well. http://fc.vc/infographic-fc This is much comprehensive and packed in one location.

Thank you so much! I could customize all our template!! 🙂
I look forward to the next template!!! 😉

Hello,

First, congratulations for this web template, will be very useful in the company where I work.
I have a suggestion about the template and a couple of questions I hope you can help me; I have attached two images where I mark each question with a letter.
First, we had used characters like accents or umlauts and there is a failure and do not appear correctly on "Index.html" (A)
The last question is where we can change the labels of some elements, because we want to do our template in Spanish:
- The bar text "Search Maps" (B)
- The bar text "Locate Maps" and "Switch Basemap" (C)
- The text "Layers", "Legend" and buttons "Legend and" About "(D)

Hi Jennifer,

Great feedback. I'll look into why those characters are not appearing correctly.

"Search Maps" is in /scripts/home/local.js
"Locate an address" is in map.html
"Switch Basemap" is apart of the basemap dijit. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm#jsapi/basemapgallery.htm You should be able to set the locale and have it automatically changed. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jshelp_start.htm#jshelp/localization.htm
"Layers", "Legend" and buttons "Legend and" About " are in map.html

I think we could definitely improve this template for i18n support. We might be able to do that in an update and put all the UI elements into a config file.

Thanks!

I have the 1.3 template customized and set up but would like to add the new legend features. Is there any easy way to add them to 1.3?

Hi Leslie,

Unfortunately, the 1.3 can't just be upgraded. You'll have to download the 1.4 version and configure it. It's much easier to configure 1.4 though.

Thanks

Greetings from Esri UK, PMG team and forum folk,

I was wondering if it would be possible to access additional groups from the right side pane?

It would make a great addition to the gallery, since one would be able to access related groups to the opening (main) one. Would you consider such an implementation for future versions?

Many thanks and cheers for now.

I'll see if we can implement that. It sounds like a useful feature. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,
In PMGT, is it possible to show attributes from multiple feature classes (parcels, school district, city limits) in the same pop-up window, when the user clicks on the map? Map is created using .MSD file utilizing data from SDE and published through ArcGIS server & PMGT.

If yes, Is it controlled by the Identify tool options in .MSD file?

Thanks in Advance.

VJ.

Hi VJ. I've used the Chrome - Identify template to show attributes from multiple feature classes. You might check out the Chrome - Identify template.

Greetings from Esri UK team,

On the PMG pages for the latest release, 1.4.1, the first line of the changes for this version reads "Support for using the template with private ArcGIS.com groups and items". Would you please explain how would this implemented?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Miguel,

1.4.1 adds support for private groups and private items. So, if you have a group or item on ArcGIS.com that is private, not public, you can use the group or item with this template by generating an ArcGIS.com token which allows access to the private group/item from the URL which you are hosting the template. The tokens are tied to an account, URL and expiration date.

You can use the tool that I've created to create a token or you can generate the token yourself using the ArcGIS.com REST API.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Hi,
I have couple of questions. I have my GIS data organized using ESRI's Local Government Information Model in ArcSDE 10SP3. I will be using ArcGIS server to publish data from ArcSDE.

Question1: If I use Public Maps Gallery template to publish maps coming from my ArcGIS server, how are the client requests passed through? If an end user hits the map page, will the request go to ArcGIS.com then routed to my ArcGIS server?

Question2: Is it possible to configure multiple searches (address, parcel, subdivision) in public maps gallery? Please let me know if there are any documentation on this topic.

Appreciate your help.
Thanks
VJ

1. Yes, I believe that's how it works. This template uses ArcGIS web maps and items so that information is coming from ArcGIS.com and then gets routed to your server.

2. You may be able to do this but it would require javascript coding to the template. You should be able to replace the search locator with another or add another level to it.

Thanks

Greetings PMG team,

Does the app. recognises what viewer is set within a group? My group has a mixture of web maps set to be viewed with the AGOL Viewer, AGXOL, and one in AGXOL presentation mode. However, when I point my PMG to the group, all maps are available through the default AGOL viewer only.
This seems to work, as the folks from Ofallon show this works on their implementation of a PMG. In their PMG, the second map in the first page does have the following URL type -> http://explorer.arcgis.com/?open=<webmap id>

Am I correct in assuming that the app senses what viewer a map uses and generates the appropriate URL? Or is this something that needs to be set up manually in the configuration somewhere? If the latter is the case, would you please point me in the right direction on where to set up?

Many thanks in advance for the help.

Hi Miguel,

It doesn't. It doesn't know which viewer to use unfortunately. That may be something you can set with some javascript coding. It would have to detect which kind of ArcGIS item it is and then use the appropriate URL for that item. Currently, it just opens with one viewer and opens external urls without a viewer.

Thanks
