Preview of two great new widgets coming out mid January 2011

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

I have been working hard on two great new widgets that I want you to preview. The final versions will be made available Mid January 2011 and submitted to the Flex a Widget competition.

http://www.esri.com/events/devsummit/get-involved/widget-challenge.html

The first is a new route widget for FlexViewer 2.2

Its' feature include:

Up to ten stops that can be added to the map interactively or by single line address matching using Bing geocoder.
Up to ten point barriers that can be added in the same fashion as stops.
Interactively added stops and barriers are automatically reverse geocoded.
You can calculate by time or distance and optionally use best sequence.
Route segments can be individually clicked in the directions list and visualized using a polyline animation (Thanks to Mark Deaton).
The big deal for this widget is its' printing capability. Both direct printer output and PDF output are supported. Multi page output with headers and footers and the option to include the large route image are all included. The individual direction segments have maneuver arrows that are included by default but can optionally be turned off. Things like configuring alternating directions background color can also be configured.

So if you are a developer and don't care about routing but want to know how to do moderately advanced multi page printing and AlivePDF techniques than this widget is for you.

Preview here:
http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer2.2/index.html?config=config-route.xml

The second one is a new infoTemplate for featurelayers.

The Attachment Relate Info Window Widgets' features include:

Ability to specify which fields are displayed
Specify one link field that will display as a clickable text or an actual image in the info window
Buttons at the bottom of the window for Zooming to feature, querying attachments, querying related features or tables
Attachments are preview only and are displayed in a custom grid popup not the standard attachment inspector.
Relates are initially displayed in a grid that allows for the selection of which related feature you want to preview and then when you choose the one you want to see then a floating datagrid is displayed with the related records.

In the examples below click on the point in the screen.

Shannaka,

You have to select one of the relationships from the table before you click done.

Hi Robert,

I have a really dumb question that I'm sure is simple. I am attempting to hide both the attachment and relate icons on the popup. My data doesn't contain either for how I'm using your widget, which is awesome by the way. I changed this section of code in the AttRelateInfoWinWidget.mxml file.

flyToSearch = lyrCurrent as FeatureLayer;
//Check to see if the featurelayer has relationships
if (flyToSearch.layerDetails.relationships)
{
           // changed to false to hide icon
           buttons.showRelateBtn(false);
}
//Check to see if the featurelayer has attachment capablity
if (flyToSearch.layerDetails.hasAttachments)
{
          // changed to false to hide icon
          buttons.showAttachBtn(false);
}

That hides the relate button, but not the attachment button. I tried a couple of other things in this file and in the AttRleateInfoButtons.mxml file as well.

No big deal if it's not possible.

Hope you aren't getting any of the nasty weather going across the country.

Cory

Cory,

Try this:

       //find the matching feature layer
       for each (var lyrCurrent:Layer in map.layers)
       {
        //stop on the matching layer
        if (lyrCurrent.name == layername)
        {
         flyToSearch = lyrCurrent as FeatureLayer;
         //Check to see if the featurelayer has relationships
         if (flyToSearch.layerDetails.relationships)
         {
          buttons.showRelateBtn(true);
         }
         //Check to see if the featurelayer has attachment capablity
         if (flyToSearch.layerDetails.hasAttachments)
         {
          buttons.showAttachBtn(true);
         }
        }
       }
       buttons.showRelateBtn(false);
       buttons.showAttachBtn(false);

CoryHines

Well that was easy! Thanks again.

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate this with the edit widget, i.e. add a 'show relates' button in the AttributeInspector. Is there a way to get the layername from the selected feature rather than the configxml?

if (layername)
    {
     //find the matching feature layer
     var flyToSearch:FeatureLayer;
     for each (var lyrCurrent:Layer in map.layers)
     {
      //stop on the matching layer
      if (lyrCurrent.name == layername)
      {

Thank you in advance!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shannaka,

I don't use the editor widget, so I took a look at the code for it and you might look at the featureLayer_selectionComplete function that would give you access I believe to the particular featurelayer selected.

Hi everybofy

first of all sorry for my bas english but i come from Belgium.

Thanx to Robert for his works ans for sharing it.

In my project, i use the Enhanced Search Widget.

I would like to make a link to a directory with some PDF file.

For exemple add a icon that could read a directory and list the pdf files that they are in.

We only work in intranet.

i dont know if it is possible of it could take long time to develop it.

Perhaps is there an other simplier method to do this.

Thanx in advance.

David

David,

Flash Player does not have access to the file system on the client machine for obvious security reasons. So the only way this could possibly be done is if you have a virtual directory with directory browsing enabled and use some client side scripting like PHP, ASP, or Coldfusion to get a listing of all files and return them to Flex. Bottom line is this functionality would be difficult to setup and is improbable for this widget. Thanks for the enhancement request though.

CaussinDavid

thanks for all...

If i understand, i have to use the attachements capabilities.... ans thus use SDE and Oracle to make BLOB fields??

is it a possible solution?? My PDF are sometimes 400Mo ...

RobertScheitlin__GISP

David,

You could use attachments. But you could also setup a virtual directory in IIS (if that is what you use) and have all the pdfs in that folder then you can have a field called pdfs in your feature class with the url to the pdf for that faeture (i.e. http://yourserver/pdfs/pdf111.pdf) then you set that as your link field.

CaussinDavid

ok Robert,

But a have sometime 2 pdf for one element sometime 3 or more thus there is a problem because there is only 1 linkfield available.

Or am i missing something???

RobertScheitlin__GISP

David,

So in your case enabling attachments would be the way to go.

philippschnetzer

I am using the Relate Widget and am extremely happy with it, thanks, Robert! One tweak I would like to see is to be able to initiate the process by having the user click an icon in the header and only then allowing them to click on a layer for the related info.
I am using this tool for a parcel layer and it would be more intuitive for the user to see a 'parcel info' icon in the header rather than just figuring out that clicking on a parcel initiates the tool.

Thanks again for this tool!!!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Philipp,

If I understand what you are after... That work flow is not even close to how this widget works. Sound like you need some widget that will run a query get the relates for the results of the queried feature. This widget works like an identify. The user clicks on a feature and then has a choice of showing the relates for that specific feature.

JeffreyThompson2_0-1748607369060.png

philippschnetzer

Robert,

Wasn't very clear in my last post. I am using the tool as intended...like you say, basically as an identify to click on a feature...which brings up the pop-up and then being able to click the 'related tables' icon.

All I am saying is that it would be good, in my case, to have the user first click an icon and then click on a feature. Basically just adding another step into this process....

So, the user would click the icon and then be able to click on the map and this would bring up the pop-up and the tool would work from then on as it does already. I would like to see this because right now there is nothing to let the user know that they can actually click on a feature to see the info on that feature...

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Phillip,

Ooooh. Now I see what you are after. Hmmm. Let me consider this... Would the features even be visible in the map before the button was clicked?

philippschnetzer

In my case I would use this for a parcel layer. It is set to become visible once the user zooms in three scale levels. I have the parcel layer excluded from the TOC so that the user cannot shut it off.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Phillip,

So really it sounds like all you need is to have some popup to indicate to the user that all they need to do is click on the feature then... Doesn't really sound like a change to this code. Sounds like you just need to use the splash widget to inform the user of what they need to do. You could even have a button like you are after display the splash widget for this purpose.

philippschnetzer

I also thought about using the splash screen...

...but who actually reads those anyway??
...I would like to see an environment where the user can use/interact with the map with no additional instructions needed

I realize this is not a high priority item to enhance the widget...or even that for some purposes it would make the widget more clunky...

DonCavinessGeo

Robert, have you had any success in manually reordering the stops for the routing widget?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Don,

I am looking into it right now.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Don,

Test drive the updated Live Preview Site an tell me if that is what you where thinking.

Robert, the Route Widget I have compiled for my own site is throwing this error when I type a address:

RPC Fault faulstring="Unathorized" faultCode="401" faultDetail="Access was denied You may have entered your credentials incorrectly, or you might no have access to the requested resource or operation."

I tried the same address on your site and it works dandy. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Frank

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Frank,

Did you add your BING maps key like the instructions point to?

FrankRoberts

I see said the blind man!

I had the bing key in my basemaps -> <mapservice> tag, but not in the <bing> tag, under the <style> tag in my config.xml.

e.g.

<bing key="my triple top secret key... "/>

Thanks!
Frank

JohnGregorovic

Hi Robert,

I really would like to be able to use the routing tool, but for some reason it's not working for me. I have added my bingkey to the config file. I am getting the Route66 sign when my page loads.

But when I pres the icon, nothing happens. I have it set to not load on start up, but even when I have it load on start up, the icon shows that it is selected, but no pop up window.

I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, the strange thing is I am not getting any error message, just not working.

Do I need to be using Bing maps, I got the impression that wasn't required. Also I am still on 9.3, is that a problem?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

John,

Are you using the compiled version or are you building FlexViewer using FlashBuilder?

JohnGregorovic

John,

Are you using the compiled version or are you building FlexViewer using FlashBuilder?

Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been out a couple of days. I am using the compiled version.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

John,

A couple of things to check:
1. are you using Flexviewer 2.2 because I only included the compiled version for flex viewer 2.2.
2. are you sure you have the widget in the config.xml with every thing spelled and in the exact case (flex is case sensitive).

ZachVernon

Robert,

Thanks for all your hard work on the Attachment Relate Info Window Widget, it is extremely useful for our applications. I have a question regarding field aliases within the tool.

I saw the instructions in the documentation for linkfield aliases, but am wondering what the procedure is to get aliases to work for regular fields. Is it possible to use the Field Aliases as defined in ArcMap rather than the raw field names? Or is it possible to add a line in the IWT xmls specifying an alias to use?

Regards,
Zach
