Splash Screen for Javascript Land Use Comments Map

Question

Hello,

I'm a beginning developer and we've augmented the Land Use Public Comment Map to gather comments from the public on a new long range planning project.  It's working well.  However, I would like to add the splash screen from the new Land Use Public Notifications map.  I'm assuming it's a matter of finding the lines of code and pasting them in the correct position - but I'm hoping someone can give me a hand.  I noticed where the code references the splash screen in the default.htm and the config.txt.  I pasted those 2 sections into my app but no luck.  I looked in the forums and sample too.  Can anyone give me a hand?

Thanks,
Joe

Steve, You've done it. I used your suggestions and added those lines of code code to the default.htm starting with this one: dojo.byId('divLoadMessage').innerHTML = responseObject.SplashScreenMessage; dijit.byId('dialogLoadMessage').show(); It now looks like this in the Public Comment App: esri.config.defaults.io.proxyUrl = "proxy.ashx"; esriConfig.defaults.io.alwaysUseProxy = false; dojo.xhrGet({ url: "Config.txt", handleAs: "json", preventCache: true, load: function (responseObject, ioArgs) { var mapExtent = responseObject.DefaultExtent; var zoomExtent = mapExtent.split(","); var startExtent = new esri.geometry.Extent(parseFloat(zoomExtent[0]), parseFloat(zoomExtent[1]), parseFloat(zoomExtent[2]), parseFloat(zoomExtent[3]), new esri.SpatialReference({ wkid: 2269 })); map = new esri.Map("map"); dojo.byId('divLoadMessage').innerHTML = responseObject.SplashScreenMessage; dijit.byId('dialogLoadMessage').show(); hasCustomRenderer = responseObject.CustomRenderer; rendererColor = responseObject.RendererColor; map.setExtent(startExtent); locatorURL = responseObject.Locator; defaultAddress = responseObject.DefaultAddress; helpFileURL = responseObject.helpURL; defaultCmnt = responseObject.DefaultCmnt; devPlanLayerURL = responseObject.DevPlanLayer; commentLayerURL = responseObject.CommentLayer; And I added 'div' code to the bottom of the default.htm page as you suggested.

OK

The only part we missed was adding the 'SplashScreenMessage' code to the config.txt file. It now looks like this: 'CustomRenderer' : false, 'RendererColor' : "#1C86EE", 'SplashScreenMessage' : "Land Use Public Notification

The Land Use Public Notification application allows local government staff to identify properties within a given distance (buffer) of a subject property and generate mailing labels and/or a structured text file for owners and occupants that fall within the buffer.

This application is typically used by local planning and zoning officials, but can be used by any agency looking to notify property owners and occupants of a formal action being taken. The process of public notification allows adjoining or nearby property owners, and others, the opportunity to look at a proposed development, consider the likely impacts the proposal may have on them, and provide comment (either positive or negative) about the proposal prior to a decision being made.

", 'BaseMapLayers' : [ {"Key": "parcelMap", "ThumbnailSource": "images/Parcel map.png", "Name" : "Parcels", MapURL: "http://webags.co.washington.or.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/Washco_primary_basemap_SP/MapServer"}, {"Key": "hybridMap", "ThumbnailSource": "images/Imagery Hybrid.png", "Name" : "Imagery", MapURL: "http://webags.co.washington.or.us/ArcGIS/rest/services/Washco_orthos2008_StatePlane/MapServer"} ] } So thanks a lot Steve. You really helped my colleague and I figure this out. Also, the splash screen automatically dims on its own - Bonus! Sincerely, Joe
