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...

Koman,

You need to exclude those layers that you don't want or set their visibility to false.

PaulHeinrich

Robert,

Thanks for the useful Widget! If you continue to develop it, it might be neat to include the ability to use several fixed locations instead of a search or single default search.

cheers, Paul

Im using SFV 2.1 and Roberts Identify Widget 2.1.3 and only changing the xml to reflect my data. Ive added the mxmls to my modules for compiling and I've attached the error that I receive.

Here's my xml - the only thing I have changed is the layer name and the fields - which I am sure are correct:

<configuration>
<identifylayeroption>visible</identifylayeroption>
<identifytolerance>5</identifytolerance>
<defaultzoomscale>5000</defaultzoomscale>
<keepidentifyactive>false</keepidentifyactive>
<labels>
<zoom2message>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>
<layers>
<layer>
   <name>prop</name>
   <fields>LNAME,PID,AAN</fields>
   <linkfield></linkfield>
   <linkprefix></linkprefix>
   <linksuffix></linksuffix>
   <iconfield></iconfield>
   <iconprefix></iconprefix>
   <iconsuffix></iconsuffix>
   <zoomscale>15000</zoomscale>
   <forcescale>true</forcescale>
</layer>
</layers>
<info>widgets/InfoTemplates/InfoPopupWidget.swf</info>
</configuration>

THANKS!

Phillip,

Are you saying that you have a map service in your FlexViewer that has a layer named "prop"?... Are you sure that is how the layer is named in your REST Services directory?

philippschnetzer

My layer name and field names are definitely correct - I have a dynamic service which I have labeled as 'prop' in my config.xml. My config.xml has no errors in it. In your IdentifyWidget.xml all I have changed is the layer name and field names. Using Flex 4.0 SDK and I have the 'Use minimum version required by the Flex SDK' checked on under Flash Player options.........................................

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Phillip,

OK I think this is the disconnect:

I have a dynamic service which I have labeled as 'prop' in my config.xml

What I am looking for in the IdentifyWidget.xml is the name of a LAYER not mapservice as it is defined in the REST SERVICE DIRECTORY not what you called the overall map service in the config.xml.

So use this example:

http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/BloomfieldHillsMichigan/Parcels/MapServer

If you go to the link above there is a layer named "Tax Parcels" that is what I am expecting the in xml.

Hi Robert,

Thanks very much for keeping this widget alive.

Where is the code or assignment for the label/tooltip for the Identify cursor? The one that reads, "Click to add a point." That wording doesn't go with the Identify function very well, to me anyway, and I would like to either edit it or remove it. Is there someplace to change the text or choose not to display it?

Thanks,
Marc

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Marc,

That is the new DrawTool's draw tips and is not controlled by my widget. The only way to change it is to modify the MapManager.mxml and add

drawTool.showDrawTips = false;

MarcWeinshenker1

Marc,

Thanks. Now this is getting weird, though. Why is that cursor showing up on your Identify widget? I was also just about to start another thread about the Draw/Measure widget because when I select the measure tool the cursor does not change visually from the draw cursor and the action is to pan -- it does not measure at all.

Marc

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Marc,

The reason it shows up on my identify tool is the fact that I am letting the FlexViewer framework handle the mouse interaction with the map and there for uses the drawTool (not the widget) to capture the mouse click and the drawTool is the component that has draw tips in the 2.x version of the API. The Draw/Measure Widget in the viewer is not like ArcMap where you select the measure tool and start drawing on the map and get the measurements back. The measurement portion works in conjunction with the graphic drawn on the screen. When you complete your drawing and have checked the measurement option then a text label of the measurement will be added to the map along with the graphic. Sorry if you already knew this and I am misunderstanding your issue.

MarcWeinshenker1

The reason it shows up on my identify tool is the fact that I am letting the FlexViewer framework handle the mouse interaction with the map .....

Thanks again, Robert. Concerning the first part with the cursor, it's beyond my familiarity to understand it all. I would have hoped a widget could choose it's cursor and behavior, but maybe that's my own ignorance. As for the measure tool, I had no idea it worked that way and never saw anything that explained it. I would prefer a measure tool to work like ArcMap, but this will do for now.

Back to customizing my viewer....

Thanks again.

I am trying to configure the Identify Widget and have some questions.

The problem I am having is when I identify, I guess the way the tool works any and all visible layers show the identify results. It appears these are operational layers and basemap layers. Is there some way similar to the <excludelayer> in the LayerList Widget to prevent some some layers from showing up in the results? Am I doing something wrong?

I also found that if I do a locate using the Locate widget, and the Identify widget is still open, the new search criteria (address) comes up as the title in the pop-up, but the info under it stays from the previous "identify" session.
Thanks again for posting your code...the new Identify hyperlink functionality is GREAT!
Melissa

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Melissa,

There is nothing that you are configuring incorrectly. My identify widget currently does not give you the ability to exclude certain layers. As far as the infopopup that is an esri bug that they are aware of and will fix in the next release.

I am working with Robert's latest Identify widget for Flex Viewer 2.1 and I have modified the code to exclude showing data from layers and fields not defined in the IdentifyWidget.xml configuration file.

In the IdentifyWidget.mxml file, down in the function called processIdentifyResults there is a conditional if(IdentFields) which includes an else block. I commented out that entire else block. I believe that IdentFields holds all the fields that come from the configuration file, so blocking out anything not in IdentFields keeps all data not specified in the configuration file from being displayed.

You'll need to be using Flash Builder or some other solution to modify and recompile the code, of course.

This may not be an elegant solution, and Robert may cringe at it, but it works for me.

Excellent widget!
I'm sure this question has been posted already...

Is there a way to specify which layers can be identifiable? I am interested in using the identify widget to work for just one map service, and no others. Can this be done? What are the various options for <identifylayeroption> other than "visible" ?

Thanks!

Brian

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Brian,

Just look at the post right above yours.

BrianGeorge

Robert,

Thank you for the quick response.

I am very new to Flex coding and slowly getting the hang of it. As for the mxml file, this is unfamiliar territory for me. I'm editing it in WordPad. I am sorry to be a bother, but what part of the code (the 'else' stuff) should be omitted to allow for only specified map layers/services to be identifiable?

Thanks,
Brian

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Brian,

Even if you edit the mxml it would have to be recompiled for the change to take affect. I am considering adding this to the next version so probably best to just wait.

Pascal_PIQUEMAL

Hi Robert,

I have a strange behaviour when i clic on my result list to zoom on a feature. Red point appears on my top left corner, scale bar is reduced to zero length, and coord display are frozen.
I have a single dynamic layer in my map. Map wkid is set to "22033".

Any idea ?

Pascal

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Pascal,

I will look into this.

PaulPetersen

Robert - thanks for this widget; it's a great tool!

I like how easy it is to set up a single link field, but it is possible to set up multiple link fields? We want some of our data to hyperlink to several different documents and other multimedia, so being able to have two or more link fields would be wonderful.

I apologize if I've missed something obvious, and thanks again for all your time!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrea,

Begin by removing all your layers from the IdentifyWidget.xml. There is no need to specify your layer in the identify widgets xml unless you want to limit the fields that are returned or specify a hyperlink field. If you are going to specify a hyperlink field that it has to be included in the fields list as stated in the text instruction of the IdentifyWidget.xml. That would mean that if you want a hyperlink field and all the other fields to show then you have to manually list all the fields in the field attribute.

For testing purposes just remove all your layers from the IdentifyWidget.xml. Next ensure that your manholes are visible on the map and then attempt to identify them. Let me know the outcome.

I was trying to duplicate the results you had on the excluding all layers not in the IdentifyWidget.xml by commenting out the else block in the function called processIdentifyResults. I then recomplied it but i still get the layers to show up that are not in the IdentifyWidget.xml.

Here is the function with the code i commented out. I've try to clean the project, and build but i still get the layers to show up i didn't want to see.

 
   //process identify results
   private function processIdentifyResults(identifyResults:Array):void
   {
    if(!identifyArrayCollection)
     identifyArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    for each (var identifyResult:IdentifyResult in identifyResults)
    {
     var title:String = identifyResult.layerName;
     var obj:Object = identifyResult.feature.attributes;
     var content:String = "";
     var fld:String;
     var value:String;
     var link:String = "";
     var linkicon:String = "";
     var identFields:String = "";
     var identLinkPre:String = "";
     var identLinkField:String = "";
     var identLinkSuffix:String = "";
     var identLinkIcon:String = "";
     var identLinkIconPre:String = "";
     var identLinkIconSuffix:String = "";
     var identZoom:Number = 0;
     var identForceScale:Boolean = false;
     
     for(var i:int=0; i<configIdentFields.length; i++)
     {
      if (identifyResult.layerName == configIdentFields.label)
      {
       identLinkField = configIdentFields.linkfield;
       identFields = configIdentFields.fields;
       identLinkPre = configIdentFields.linkpre;
       identLinkSuffix = configIdentFields.linksuffix;
       identLinkIconPre = configIdentFields.linkiconpre;
       identLinkIcon = configIdentFields.linkicon;
       identLinkIconSuffix = configIdentFields.linkiconsuffix;
       identZoom = configIdentFields.zoomscale;
       identForceScale = configIdentFields.forcescale;
      }
     }
     
     if(identFields) {
      var fldArr:Array = identFields.split(",");
      for (var f:Number = 0; f < fldArr.length; f++) {
       try{                            
        value = obj[fldArr].toString();
       } catch (error: Error){
        value = "";
       }
       if (fldArr.toUpperCase() == identLinkField.toUpperCase()){
        //concatenate
        link = identLinkPre + value + identLinkSuffix;
       } else if (fldArr.toUpperCase() == identLinkIcon.toUpperCase()){
        //concatenate
        linkicon = identLinkIconPre + value + identLinkIconSuffix;
       } else {
        content += fldArr + ": " + value + "\n";
       } 
      }
     } /* else {
      for (fld in obj)
      {
       try{                            
        value = obj[fld].toString();
       } catch (error: Error){
        value = "";
       }
       
       if (fld.toUpperCase() == identLinkField.toUpperCase())
       {
        link = value;
       } else {
        content += fld + ": " + value + "\n";
       }
      }  
     } */

     var idResult:IdResult = new IdResult();
     idResult.icon = widgetIcon;
     idResult.title = identifyResult.layerName;
     idResult.content = content;
     if(link!="")
      idResult.link = link;
     idResult.point = identifyPoint;
     idResult.geometry = identifyPoint;
     idResult.zoomScale = identZoom;
     idResult.zoom2msg = zoom2Msg;
     if(linkicon!="")
      idResult.linkicon = linkicon;
     idResult.forceScale = identForceScale;
     identifyArrayCollection.addItem(idResult);

    }
    clearMessage();
   }

It's probably something simple that i'm not seeing. Any Ideas? Also, i'm using Flash builder 4 to rebuild the mxml.

Thanks.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrea,

The next thing to check is in the ArcMap MXD do you have the objectID and Shapefield visible?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrea,

When you go to the REST Service Directory Page for that map service and then one of the layers do you have an identify hyperlink option at the bottom of the page?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Sorry that is what it is suppose to be. I am running out of ideas here and so far you are the only one reporting having an issue? Can you try to publish the MXD/MSD again under a different service name? I have seen rare occasions where the publish has just gone bad.

SamBishop

Rob,

This is a really great widget, functionality I'm sure should be included in the viewer by default! Would love to see some of the possible improvements already mentioned though, specifically:

1) The ability to exclude layers from the identify widget - perhaps only show info for those layers for which fields are defined in the config?

2) The ability to define multiple link fields

Thanks
Sam

TimMcKinney

Robert,

I get the following error when using this widget:

Application Error
http response status: 200
Fault Code: Client.CouldNotDecode
Fault Info: Error #1085
Fault Details: null

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,
Tim

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Tim,

That normally indicates that you have a syntax error in one of your xml files.

TimMcKinney

Robert,

Thanks for the quick response. I just discovered that with HttpFox. Thanks for the suggestion earlier in this thread. It's working now. And thanks for this useful widget!

Tim
