Manually adding attachments

JosephRogan — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 19:22:13 GMT

Good morning,

I am attempting to add attachments to my feature layer but have encountered a problem. I have already successfully implemented code to view and delete existing attachments, and I thought my code was correct to add them, however the error callback function says: "Error: Access is denied." My feature layer does have editing enabled, and other tools in my app work properly. I do have the proxy thing working so I don't believe it is that either. Any suggestions?

// Open the file dialog
dom.byId("inputAttachmentFile").click();
console.log(dom.byId("inputAttachmentFile").value);
featureLayer1.addAttachment(editingFeature.attributes["OBJECTID"], dom.byId("formAttachment"), function()
{
 // Update the info window's html
 dom.byId("buttonEditAttachment").innerHTML = "Delete";
 dom.byId("spanAttachmentLink").innerHTML = "[link]";
 console.log("Attachement added");
}, function (err)
{
 console.log(err);
});

Morning Joseph,

Has "Attachments" been enabled on the feature class? There are two different ways to enable attachments depending on where the feature resides. Below is a screen shot of enabling attachments for a feature which resides on ArcGIS Online. From the item details select the context menu under Layers and choose "Enable Attachments." The steps are a little different if in SDE and hosted on Portal. Hope this helps and good luck.

Yes attachments are enabled. The layer is published from my SDE. When I test featureLayer1.hasAttachments it returns true. Unfortunately I can't post the complete code for this site, it exists behind a firewall. Unfortunately the AttachmentEditor widget does not meet my needs for this project either.

I made a stripped down version of the site to test the attachment editor widget, and it worked. This proves to me that there isn't a problem accessing the actual feature layer or the service.

I could potentially use the AttachmentEditor if I can get it to load in my custom info window (InfoTemplate). I'm not sure how to get this working though. I can get it to startup in a div (and appear in my popup), but to get the line attachmentEditor.showAttachments(graphic, featureLayer1); I don't know where I'm supposed to pull the graphic objects from. It's not wired to an event the gives that object like in the code sample.
