Identify Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

I have been waiting for the Final release of the FlexViewer 2.1 before I started to push out some widgets I have been working on.

Here is my Identify Widget for Flex Viewer 2.1. I have tested to ensure proper functioning with FlexViewer 2.1 and am now releasing it to you since the API Team did not get one into the FlexViewer.

Here is the link:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=39cf66d58c234279ba728c50461a1a89

More FlexViewer 2.1 widgets to come stay tuned...

Try again for some reason the zip was not attached earlier...

Way to go Robert!

bflodine

Thank you Robert your widgets are great!

ErwanCaradec

Thank you for this inescapable Widget !

In previous version (1.3) i've tweaked it because we needed prefix and suffix configuration for the link field. We also needed to purpose picture and hyperLink in the same info popup and Icon could be different for a layer or regarding field value. In previous version i think zoomscale could be different regarding the layer.
And then, the cherry on the cake (like is said in my country) would be that icon for the hyperlink could be configurable for the widget.

Could this modifications be integrated in your widget ? I hope this could interest other users.

Regards.

Erwan

My configuration for a layer looked like :

<layer>
 <name>LayerName</name>
 <fields>field1,field2</fields>
 <linkfield>linkField</linkfield>
 <linkprefix>http://webserverurl/index.php?linkField=</linkprefix&gt;
 <linksuffix></linksuffix>
 <iconefield>otherField</iconefield>
 <iconeprefix>http://pictureWebserver/index.php?otherField=</iconeprefix&gt;
 <iconesuffix>suffixValue(jpg)</iconesuffix>
 <imagefield>otherField</imagefield>
 <imageprefix>http://pictureWebserver/index.php?otherField=</imageprefix&gt;
 <imagesuffix>suffixValue(jpg)</imagesuffix>
 <zoomscale>5000</zoomscale>
</layer>

Robert,

Great job!

ErnstEijkelenboom

Robert,

One remark:

Can you make the Tooltip als configurable in de XML:

toolTip="Click to Zoom to Point"

Of course I can do it in the mxml, but is should be nice for the non-developers if it was also available in the Compiled version.

WillHughes1

Robert,

Nice tool.

How can I edit the mxml file so that the identify tool only identifies one layer?

Also, is there a simple way to build a URL on the click event which attaches a field (id) to a constant URL string? I have a cold fusion data page which I'd like to query using the Identify Widget (pass URL query string).

Thanks.

erwan.caradec, Can you post your tweeks to the .mxml file? I'd like to add the linkprefix variable to the Identify widget.

Thanks.

Will

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Will,

I am looking at updating based on Erwan's and Ernst's suggestions. Not sure I will go down Erwan's suggestion of having a image and hyperlink though as that would require updating the InfoPopupWidget as well. But I am looking at the prefix and suffix on the hyperlink.

MelissaJohnson

Awesome as usual Robert! Thank you!!

Great widget! I have one question. I am getting duplicate results. Do you have any idea why? Thank you for posting this widget.

Never mind, I figured it out my mistake. Thanks!

Shannon

Can you share your solution? I'm having the same problem.

ErwanCaradec

Hi Shannon,
we had the same problem in previous version because identifyWidget return one result for the group layer and a second result for the sub layer, it may be the same problem ?
I haven't my ArcGIS server at home so i can't reproduce the problem.
Look around this post :
http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=158&f=2421&t=299664

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Erwan,

Strange that I don't see the duplicate result issue and I have lots of grouped layers in my services... I wonder If I should look at adding your solution for that issue? It would be nice if I could duplicate the issue some are seeing with this.

WillHughes1

Robert,

How can I edit the mxml file so that the identify tool only identifies one layer?

Thanks.

Will

ErwanCaradec

Ok,
i can't reproduce the problem with the sample server on arcgisonline. I'll try later with my own server (on local network) and feed you back if necessary.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Will,

Do you mean one MapService or on layer in a MapService?

WillHughes1

One layer in a mapservice.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Will,

If you only want one layer of one particular map service and that is it than you need to look at the identifyFeatures function in the IdentifyWidget.mxml and basically delete all the for loop an just hard code the identifyParams and identify task something like this

private function identifyFeatures():void
   {
    var identifyParams : IdentifyParameters = new IdentifyParameters();
    identifyParams.returnGeometry = false;
    identifyParams.tolerance = identifyTolerance;
    identifyParams.geometry = identifyPoint;
    identifyParams.width = map.width;
    identifyParams.height = map.height;
    identifyParams.mapExtent = map.extent;
    identifyParams.spatialReference = map.spatialReference;
                                                   //You have to know the id number of your layer here
                                                   identifyParams.layerIds = [23];
                                                   var identifyTask:IdentifyTask = new IdentifyTask("http://yourserver/arcgis/yourservice/mapserver);
    identifyTask.addEventListener(IdentifyEvent.EXECUTE_COMPLETE, onResult);
    identifyTask.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, onFault);
    identifyTask.execute(identifyParams);
    showMessage(loadingLabel, true); 
    showStateResults();
                                    }

Robert, That worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch. Will

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

Updated version available based on Erwan's and Ernst's suggestions.

ErwanCaradec

Perfect !
as usual !

ErnstEijkelenboom

Robert,
Thank you for the update!
I try the <zoom2message> tag, but I still see the text "Click to Zoom to Point".

Can you also describe the valid values for <identifylayeroption> in your readme?
Of course you can look in the REST-help (http://<sername>/ArcGIS/SDK/REST/index.html?identify.html), but this is not so easy for non-developers.

The options "top", "visible:1" or "all:2,4" have strange behaviour when you have more operational mapservices. If you have 2 mapservices, the result of "top" gives you 2 layers back!

Is it possible to keep the focus on the Identify-tool? When you click on the map for an identify, the focus is directly switched back to navigation mode. When you want to identify more than once you need everytime clicking first on the "identify"-button and the the point-button before you can identify a new location!

I'm missing the InfoWindow during a MouseOver Graphic event. The InfoWindow is only visible with a MouseOver in the Result Window.

Thanks,

Ernst

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Ernst,

Thanks for the feedback I see my issue with the zoom2message you need to put it inside the lables parent element in the IdentifyWidget.xml. Like this:

             <labels>
  <zoom2message>Test - Click to Zoom to Point</zoom2message>
  <identifylabel>Identify</identifylabel>
  <resultslabel>Results</resultslabel>
  <descriptionlabel>Use the identify tool to identify features on the map:</descriptionlabel>
  <pointlabel>Identify</pointlabel>
  <clearlabel>Clear</clearlabel>
  <loadinglabel>Loading...</loadinglabel>
  <selectionlabel>Features Identified:</selectionlabel>
 </labels>

for the layers options, first you don't need to pay to much attention to the REST Documentation as this is how REST behind the flex api is handling the requests. When the REST API is talking about all:2,4 that is the same as the Flex AGS API senting the IdentifyParameters.layerOption of all and IdentifyParameters.layerIds = [2,4]

The options "top", "visible:1" or "all:2,4" have strange behaviour when you have more operational mapservices. If you have 2 mapservices, the result of "top" gives you 2 layers back!

This is actually the expected behavior as an identify task is exectuted for each map service in your map so "top" will return the top layer for each map service or operational layer in your map.

As far as the keeping the identify tool active after the initial identify all you need to do is add activateIdentifyTool(); in to the drawEnd function. I will add an option for this to the config.

For the mousing over the graphic this has never been available for the identify because you need to consider which layer you would display the results for since all the layers are identified using the same exact point. This is just not feasible.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

It has been updated again based on comments from Ernst.

Version 2.1.3

ErnstEijkelenboom

Robert,

Great! This works fine.

You're right! I was looking to the search widget. The search widget returns the geometries of the features. This is of course not the case with the identify widget.

I like the 2.1.3 version of your exellent Identify widget.

Thanks,

Ernst.

KomanDiabate

Robert, this is a great tool. I like the prefixlink. However, I am also seeing duplicate results. Any answer on this issue? Thanks.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Koman,

The only people that are experiencing the issue with doubled results in the identify are people that can not duplicate the same issue using others map services like ESRIs. So you likely have an issue in your map service.

KomanDiabate

Hi Robert,
I think it's my map services. My basemaps and other map services have some of the same layers, for example Parks. Therefore, I believe the result is coming from several different map services which I think is the reason I am getting multiple results.
I need to find a way to specify the map service or re-work my maps. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
