TOC groups in Accordion, FlexViewer 2.1

MattiasEkström — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 07:23:50 GMT

Hi!
I would like to group my services in the TOC in several groups in an Accordion, like this TOC http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=15874 from the old code gallery (the groups version of it).
Has anyone done this or something similar in the FlexViewer 2.1?

I'm also thankful if someone could point me in the right direction and give me some tips on where to begin.

Mattias,

Yep I created a copyright widget a little while ago.

Don't forget to rate and comment on the widgets you use form the code gallery.

Thank you so much Robert!
That's great! I could even implement the code in the MapSwitcherWidget, so it works exactly as I want.

Hi Robert,

Is there any way I can use this in my Flex Application? (I am not using Flex Viewer)! It seems like a great tool but I cant use the widget since I am not using Flex Viewer or can I?

Thank you!

Ionara,

You are correct it would take a MAJOR re-write to decouple it from the Flex Viewer.

Hi Robert,
I am using your accordian TOC widget as a workaround for the lack of layer grouping functionality in the existing viewer TOC. It works great except the LayerMenus (move up, move down, transparency, description etc) do not work - can you provide me with some direction as to how i could get these working? I've tried poking around but the TOC involves fairly complicated code..
Thanks so much!

Got it - just needed to put TOCAccordion in com.esri.viewer.components.toc package so that i could reference TOC through: [xmlns:TOC="com.esri.viewer.components.toc.*"].

Fantastic widget Robert - may i ask why you don't share this on the code gallery?

M Giles,

If you hadn't noticed I have enough code in the code gallery to maintain. Most people are fine with the TOC I provide, there is just a handful that need to group things in the TOC.

Hi Robert -

I have been trying to combine your legend TOC with this accordion TOC. But, I have been without success. In theory, do you see any glaring reasons I should be having problems with combining these two? I realize there are many additional variables to pass through in the Accordion TOC widget, but can you foresee other conflicts that may arise?

So, trying a different route, I then worked on modifying the pop-up for the TocLayerMenu in the Accordion TOC - using the "addOptionsForLayerByType" function. Here I got hung up on separating the TocMapLayerItem and the TOCLayerInfoItem. Do you have any helpful suggestions on how to extract the URL for the TocLayerInfoItem so I can show the service description for the individual layers?

Thanks much!
