This is in reference to the REST API's Users, Groups, and Items Search Reference. I am trying to find an item in ArcGIS Online using the search functionality provided by the REST API using the suffix (end) part of a particular string. Say I was looking for a tag that ends in 'captain'. Looking through the API, I see there are wildcard characters for single characters (?) or multiple characters (*). So, I'm thinking I can try something like:  q: {tag:captain OR tag:*captain} and I should get back tags like "rowcaptain" or "spacecaptain". Instead, I get  "Oh captain my captain" and "captain obvious", but no words where "captain" is a suffix. Any advice on how to get the results I'm looking for? ... View more

Presentation Title Chrome Plugin for ArcGIS Server REST Services Abstract ArcGIS Server REST services can provide significant data about maps, feature services, and other hosted data. However, much of that information is hidden away within multiple layers of REST endpoints. Several years ago, Ken Doman published an open-source set of JavaScript bookmarklets for interrogating and working with ArcGIS Server REST endpoints. Since then, he has also converted those tools into a Chrome Plugin called Map Services Enhanced. These tools not only extract metadata from map services that is easy to read, but also provide search functionality and query building tools over REST endpoints. Best of all, the tools are free on the Chrome store.

I've been trying to implement some of custom header items from your Open Data Deep Customization example, and I've run into some issues. In the header HTML, I've added a style block and put some CSS styles in it, but the content is changed in the output after it's saved. Below, I've added a sample snippet of the style block I added to the header CSS. CSS selectors were renamed to protect the innocent. <style>   .ember-view > div {     border: 3px solid purple;   }   a.newlink:after {     content: "I am a new link :)";     color: blue;   }   a.oldlink:after {     content: 'I am an old link :(';     color: red;   } </style>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ And below is the output found in the HTML: <style>   .ember-view &gt; div {     border: 3px solid purple;   }   a.newlink:after {     content: &quot;I am a new link :)&quot;;     color: blue;   }   a.oldlink:after {     content: &#39;I am an old link :(&;39;;     color: red;   } </style>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Are there any recommendations to get around these text substitutions in style blocks, or am I limited in what I can do with styling? ...

When you perform a dataset or a tag search, what is the best way to change the format of the search results? They accept the color selections from the main application. But what if you want the images for search results on the left instead of on the right, or make the dataset titles centered instead of aligning left. Is there a way to create a custom template with the components positioned the way you want them to be, like there is with other parts of the Open Data site? ... View more

If more than one person in an ArcGIS Online organization attempts to update a configurable application, their submissions will overwrite one another, even if they edited two different portions of the configuration. Case in point: 8:30 am - Account A logs into ArcGIS Online and updates configurable parameter messageABC in  Application X. Saves changes. Minimizes browser window. 9:00 am - Account B needs to change feature layer and fields in Application X. Account B logs in, makes changes, and saves configuration around 9:15 am 10 am - Account A finds out there was a typo in parameter messageABC in Application X. Restores browser, looks at tab where Application X is configured, and updates messageABC. Goes on to another tab in his browser. 11 am - Account B logs in after receiving complaints that users aren't seeing changes to Application X. Account B looks at app configuration, and sees app pointing to original feature layer, and all her changes overwritten. However, messageABC looks lovely. Account B reconfigures app to point at new feature layer, and saves changes to Application X. What I'm proposing is some sort of notification system baked into the configuration pages that prompts you to accept application configuration updates as they are worked on concurrently by other users, even if they are logged in under the same account. It would be like Google Doc's concurrent editing, or something to that affect. ... View more
