JD,  Thank you for your addition to this thread and adding that code snippet worked perfectly to zoom to the extent of the polygon and zooms out one LOD level. However after updating to the latest build of the WAB, I noticed a bug that is coming up in my application.  The user enters a search parameter and it zooms to selected feature. If a user then enters another parameter in the search box and selects the selected feature, the application will zoom to the feature but the map then becomes a solid grey background and won't display any of the services or basemap. You can then zoom in or out and the feature will then appear as well as the basemap. Is there any additional code that can be added to clear the previous extent or whatever is hanging up the map?

Thank you Tom, that is what I figured, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.  I appreciate the great widget! ... View more

Tom, Thank you for the great widget! I need to add the measurement of "Varas" to the tool.  I went into the Settings.js file and added the measurement {           value: 'VARAS',           label: this.nls.varas,           abbr: this.nls.varasAbbreviation || 'v',           conversion: jimuUtils.localizeNumber(1.1811, {             places: 4           })         } I added the units info to the nls folders and this to the widgets.js file {                     unit: 'VARAS',                     label: this.nls.varas                 } When I open the widget in WAB I can add the unit in the configuration of the widget and see the "Varas" with the appropriate length.  But when I launch the widget, I don't see Varas as an option to measure with. Can you please assist me in on how to add my new unit of measurement of Varas to the selection screen? ... View more

Can you provide the script to change the enable editor tracking to true "enableEditorTracking" : true? Thank you for any response. Pretty sure this will enable attachments, it works for me. Update variables at the bottom. You can switch TRUE to FALSE to disable attachments. import json, urllib, urllib2 def gentoken(username, password, referer, expiration=60):     #Re-usable function to get a token required for Admin changes     referer = "http://www.arcgis.com/"         query_dict = {'username': username,                   'password': password,                   'expiration': str(expiration),                   'client': 'referer',                   'referer': referer,                   'f': 'json'}            query_string = urllib.urlencode(query_dict)     tokenUrl = "https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken"         tokenResponse = urllib.urlopen(tokenUrl, urllib.urlencode(query_dict))       token = json.loads(tokenResponse.read())             if "token" not in token:         print token['messages']         import sys         sys.exit()     else:         # Return the token to the function which called for it         return token['token']     def enableAttachment(token, fsURL):         query_dict = {'updateDefinition': "{'hasAttachments':true}",   #false                           'f': 'json',                   'token': token}            query_string = urllib.urlencode(query_dict)           attachResponse = urllib.urlopen(fsURL, urllib.urlencode(query_dict))       msg = json.loads(attachResponse.read())     print msg         return USERNAME = " ______  " PASSWORD = " ______  " REFFER = "http://www.arcgis.com" fsURL = "http://services1.arcgis.com/<ORGANIZATION IDENTFIER/arcgis/admin/services/<SERVICE NAME>.FeatureServer/0/updateDefinition" # for example, a link may look like: #http://services1.arcgis.com/4safsf2dgg32daf3/arcgis/admin/services/MyService.FeatureServer/0/updateDefinition token = gentoken(USERNAME, PASSWORD, REFFER) enableAttachment(token, fsURL) ...

Rhett, That script worked perfectly that is exactly what we needed! Thank you so much for your help. Alex Sanders ... View more

Rhett, Is there any way you can share your python work flow for extracting the BLOB fields from a database to disk? Alex Dustin, I have a similar workflow, with photos stored in BLOB fields and one to potentially many photos per feature.  The attachemnts feature doesn't really support 1:many so I have a python script that extracts the jpeg photos from the blob and saves them in a folder.  As it is writing the blobs, I capture the path and filename that I am saving them to (as well as my feature ID) and append to a list, then at the end of my script, I insertCursor the list to populate a FGDB table.  Now I not only have the jpeg stored local in a folder, I also have a ready-made table with all my paths ready to join/calculate to the feature class data that can be used for my link field. Of course, I had to make a virtual directory on the server pointing to the folder I saved all my jpegs in, then had to go into IIS and, for that virtual folder, allow directory browsing as I often have many photos per site (if just one photo, my "path" actually points to the jpeg file, if more than one, it points to the folder. This was kind of cluttery, especially for the sites with multiple photos, as IE doesn't give thumbnail views, so, all you see is a list of the somewhat cryptic filenames, and need to click on each photo to view it. So, I took it one step farther.  After my python script extracts and saves the jpegs from the BOLBs, writes the "lookup table", joins/calculates the URL info to my feature class, it then runs a slightly modified version of pyGallery.  This creates a gallery for my photos similar to ( http://pygallery.sourceforge.net/samples/ ).  So now, if there is one photo, my popup says "Click for Photo", and it takes you direclty to the image viewed in a browser.  If there are more than one image, it says "Click for Photos", and if you click, it will take you to the index/thumbnail gallery page for that feature, with all the photos. So far, not only the best way I've came up with for BLOBs, but also for one:many photos in Flex. In case this gives you some ideas, R_ ... View more

Thanks I'll send you an email. ... View more

I see what you're saying, I forgot to add that I had the aerial set to true, that way one basemap layer loads on start up.  My bad thanks for the clarification. ... View more

If you look at my code I have visibility set to false that way it is not turned on at start up.  Follow Robert's post if you want it ordered further down on the list. ... View more
