Attribute table for buffer results from ALL active layers

LefterisKoumis — Sat, 15 Feb 2014 20:11:59 GMT

The Attribute widget displays the the fields of ALL layers that are visible and active.
I'm researching a way to use a modified version of this widget, so that when I buffer a polyline or a point, it will capture all the features from all active layers within that buffer and display them on the attirbute table. So, each tab would show the layer with the captured features.

I am aware of the eSearch widget; however you have to select only one layer to query. I???d like to buffer for multiple layers.

Suggestions?

Thank you!

The same question will be posted on the Flexviewer forum.

Lefteris,

Getting the layer to display in the attributetable is probably the easiest part of your whole desired workflow. Are you planning on hardcoding the layers that will get buffered or just have them defined in a XML configuration file? There is not a widget out there right now that does your exact workflow as you probably know. The Point Buffer Widget might be a good starting point for your development if you are looking at allowing the user to dynamically draw on the map and have that buffered (of course it is only designed for points right now but its a good start). I guess a more detailed workflow would be needed before I can give more direction.
