How I can display icon from GeoRSS?

Antonn_a — Tue, 03 Sep 2013 10:58:10 GMT

Hello!

I read, that in GeoRSS file format maybe tag "<icon>", example:

<item>
       <pubDate>Tue Aug 27 12:28:43 UTC 2013</pubDate>
       <title>Organization Name</title>
       <description>Products, service etc.</description>
       <icon>http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/icons-land/transport/48/TruckMountedCrane-icon.png</icon>
       <link>Feed URL</link>
       <geo:lat>0.812089</geo:lat>
       <geo:long>0.576816</geo:long>
     </item>

How I can display icons from GeoRSS file into ArcGIS web maps?
I use next Javascript+HTML code:

      The map displays a simple GeoRSS file with points, lines and polygons.

But on the webpage I see only standart green RSS icons, but not icons from GeoRSS file.
Please help me, suggest something to add in Javascript code, to icons will be showing.

Try defining a PictureMarkerSymbol and a SimpleRenderer just before you step through the arrayUtils.

var picRenderer = new PictureMarkerSymbol(${icon}, 16, 16);
var georssRenderer = new SimpleRenderer(picRenderer);
arrayUtils.forEach(layers, function(l) {
        l.setInfoTemplate(template);
        l.setRenderer(georssRenderer)
      });

Unfortunately, does not work, that's part of the script, as I did the replacement. Correct it? But with this code at the entire map is not displayed.

    var georssUrl = "add.xml";
    // other examples of GeoRSS feeds:
    // var georssUrl = "http://geocommons.com/overlays/188692.atom"; // U.S. Breweries in 2009 http://geocommons.com/overlays/188692
    // var georssUrl = "http://geocommons.com/overlays/116926.atom"; // S.F. and East Bay Breweries http://geocommons.com/overlays/116926
    var georss = new GeoRSSLayer(georssUrl); 
    georss.on("load", function() {
      domStyle.set("loading", "display", "none");
      // create an info template
      var template = new InfoTemplate("${name}", "${description}");
      // set the info template for the feature layers that make up the GeoRSS layer
      // the GeoRSS layer contains one feature layer for each geometry type
      var layers = georss.getFeatureLayers();
var picRenderer = new PictureMarkerSymbol(${icon}, 16, 16);
 var georssRenderer = new SimpleRenderer(picRenderer); 
 arrayUtils.forEach(layers, function(l) {
 l.setInfoTemplate(template);
 l.setRenderer(georssRenderer)
 });
    });
    map.addLayer(georss);
  });
</script>
</head>

I think there may be an error in the code I posted for you to try... I forgot to add the " " around the ${icon}.

So, try changing that line to this:

var picRenderer = new PictureMarkerSymbol("${icon}", 16, 16);

Okay, I added " ", web maps is loading. But all icons from .xml (GeoRSS) on the map not display. Also without tag "<icon>" is not display. I.e. the map is empty. Just web maps without GeoRSS information. What do? Maybe exist another JavaScript code for custom icons on the ArcGIS map?
