Flex 4 Geoportal Toolkit Extension Widget

karenvolarich — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:58:07 GMT

Does anybody know if ESRI is planning on upgrading the Flex Widget for the Geoportal Tool Kit Extension? On the Geoportal 10 website it still refers to the Flex 3.5 API -- not much help really. Tried to upgrade it, but it's referencing a swc that has 3.5 libraries embedded in it that are not accessible via com/esri/gpt (such as AGSGptRSSEndPoint).

Is it possible to integrate the html widget into the flex 4 sample viewer (yes, I know it's beta)?

Thanks

hi,

yes, once the new Flex API and Viewer have been released by the product development team, the Geoportal Flex Widget will be updated as well.

We have just released Geoportal 10, so if you have a license you will receive the source code for the Flex widget (and at 10 also a Silverlight widget) as part of the distribution.

kind regards,

Marten

Marten,

good afternoon. are there sample code available for writing simple custom apps for the geoportal using silverlight API like the resources available for silverlight api. that site is very useful with working code.

such a resource for geoportal extension with silverlight will be of great help. it could reside us one of the tabs in this website: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm

thanks for your help and support.

regards
ravi.

Hi Bjorn,
We are using ArcGIS flex viewer 2.1 based web mapping application as Geoportal Extension 10 's External map viewer. Because of the swc related issues (As kvolari mentioned at first) , we have some problems on adding existing GeoportalWidget (built on flex 3.5 sdk ) into our customized flex Application. Is it possible to share the whole source code package of (included mxml files and contents of swc ) geoportalWidget, shipped with Geoportal Extension 10.
Thus, we can develop a geoportalWidget for flexViewer 2.1

hi,

The flex widget code is part of the now open source Esri Geoportal Server. You can find the code for the flex widget at: http://geoportal.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/geoportal/components/flex/

The flex widget has been ported to the ArcGIS Flex API 2.1.

More info on the open source Esri Geoportal Server is available at http://esriurl.com/geoportalserver

kind regards,

Marten

I cannot seem to find the GeoportalSearchWidget.swc file or the code module in the source code (which I assume would be GeoportalSearchWidget.mxml) anywhere. There is a GeoportalSearchWidget.xml file in the source code, but no corresponding .mxml code module to go with it ... The help file assumes that it's included in the source code files (http://help.arcgis.com/en/geoportal_extension/10.0/help/index.html#/Geoportal_Search_Widget_for_Flex/00t00000002v000000/).

Anybody know what I may be missing or mis-understanding? Thanks.

hi,

in the config.xml you would include this to add the Geoportal widget to the viewer:

        <widget label="Geoportal Search"
                left="100"
                top="50"
                preload="open"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
                config="geoportal/widgets/Geoportal/GeoportalSearchWidget.xml"
                url="geoportal/widgets/Geoportal/AGSGptRSSWidget.swf"/>

this indicates where the configuration file is (@config) as well as where the widget is (@url). if you check out the source code for the (http://esriurl.com/geoportalserver) to C:\src\SVN, then the widget (AGSGptRSSWidget.mxml) can be found in:
C:\src\SVN\geoportal\components\flex\FindData\trunk\src\widgets\GeoportalSearch

I also cannot find GeoportalSearchWidget.swc.

I went to sourceforge.net and downloaded the geoportal-1.1.zip but I could not find any flex related components there.

Did I download the wrong file?

hi,

the flex widget and other extensions we made are available in the 1.1-RELEASE tag of the geoportal server source code. this also includes some hints on how to merge this code with the flex viewer code itself.

Marten

Hello Marten or anyone else,

Would you have a compiled version of the widget that can be plugged into the flexviewer 2.4? I have seen one in the code gallery written by C Olate but it does not display all the necessary labels on its interface.
