Hello Robert, I'm trying to download this widget but i can find swf file, any soulution ?

Rosy,

Iam still not sure what you are doing wrong. As you saw I had no issue identifying your layers. What does your IdentifyWidget.xml look like now?

Hi Robert

I downloaded Identify.zip for Appbuilder3.1 & imported it in Application Builder. Made the required changes to IdentifyWidget.xml. Identify widget displays the message 'No Results Found'. But if I search for the projects using rectangle tool of the Search Widget & then then try to identify the projects in the 'Search' window, identify tool works. I've attached a screen-snapshot of it.

Rosy,

The GitHub Site is for those using the source code ONLY. You need to click on the

Code Attachment IdentifyWidget.zip Download

Link further down the page and as you are using Application Builder you should use the Identify.zip in the For_AppBuilder3.1 and follow the instruction Here for adding the widget in App Builder.

I don't know what am I doing different from you that my results are not coming up.

I downloaded the zip file from :

https://github.com/rscheitlin/Identify

Unzipped it & copied the Identify folder under compiled_FV3.1 to C:\C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers\<MyApplicationName>\widgets\

Added the line to config.xml.

Made the required changes to IdentifyWidget.xml

Please let me know if you see any in-accuracy in my steps.

Robert,

Can you send me a copy of IdentifyWidget.xml that you used for this project? I think that'll really help me.

Thank You.

Rosy,

I was able to add you map service to FV and use the identify on them just fine...

My application has a base map layer ( OpenStreetMap ). Link to my layers is

http://webgis2.h-gac.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/TIP_Call/RoadConstr_Projects/MapServer.

My goal is to be able to 'identify' features in following 2 layers.

TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_pts_1
TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_lns_1

I created a new application ( for testing purposes) with just the basemap & one layer and copied over the contents of IdentifyWidgets.xml ,as suggested in one of the threads.

Rosy,

What what type of layer is it that you are trying to identify and is it an operational layer or basemap layer? Is it a secured layer?

yes , I did. This is what it looks like :

Rosy,

Have you configured the IdentifyWidget.xml for your map service?

Hi Richard

I build a new site in with 1 functional layer using App builder and copied over the your xml code to the config.xml for identify widget. But identify widget still does not work shows a message 'No Results Found'

-Rosy

Excellent Robert! When I specify the property layer in the widget it returns the results specified using any of the selection methods.
Thank you,
Andrew

Hi Robert,
That code worked. When I use to Identify widget it returns all information for operational and basemap layers. If I set <excludebasemaps> to true nothing gets returned and if I add my layer information I get an error.
<layer>
            <name>Property</name>
   <id>8</id>
   <url>http://198.167.37.68/arcgis/rest/services/BaseData/MapServer</url>

                <field name="PID" alias="PID"/>
                <field name="FIRSTNAME" alias="FIRSTNAME"/>

Can you start a new site in App builder and add the identify widget and maybe just one of the map services you want to identify as an operational layer and then in the identify widgets config file to this:

Well this is a fantastic problem. Thanks for checking Robert!

Darryl,

Using exactly what you posted (even though there is an error in your commenting you need to work on.) I was able to identify your parcels using my latest version of the identify widget.

I am having a similar issue. I have a single layer plugged into the Identify widget. When I click a feature, it highlights it and shows the fields in the widget window. However it will not populate the field with the attribute data. The fields are configured with the name of the field according to the rest endpoint and I have given an alias to the field as well. I have tried everything I can think of to try to solve the problem.

I have attached a screenshot of the widget in action in my viewer and I have pasted in the .xml file below if anyone would like to take a look and offer any suggestions.

Yes, I've tried every combination of tool and layer and still nothing?!?

Andrew,

When you leave the drop down list as All Layers does it return any results (make sure you are clicking somewhere you would get other data back, try using the select by rectangle tool)?

Hi Robert,
I made the changes to the code and still don't get any results from the Identify Tool from the Property Layer or any other.
Screen grab attached.

Thank I'll give that a try.

Andrew,

So the widget does appear when you click the icon and when you one of the widgets identify tools to draw on the map no results are returned?

In you main config.xml I see one issue. There is currently no space between the config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml" and the label="Identify" This is poor xml syntax and would cause an issue.

        <widget url="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.swf" config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml"label="Identify" icon="assets/images/i_info.png"/>

The other thing I don't like is the extra forward slash behind all your MapServer urls "MapServer/" delete those extra trails forward slashes.

No results to any layer!

Andrew,

So are you not getting any results at all for any layer, or is it just the property layer that you have configured?

Hi Robert,
I'm still unable to get any results from the Identify widget. So I'm using ArcGIS Server 10.1 SP1, Application Builder 3.1 and have installed your 3.1.4 version of the widget using Manage Custom Widgets. I have attached the XML code for both the Config file and the Widget. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew

Rosy,

Did you see post 10 above?

Was this problem resolved? I am having similar issues with identify widget for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex - Application Builder.
