Bring the functionality of one website into the design of another

RichardLafleur1 — Mon, 08 Jan 2018 15:54:34 GMT

I need help trying to bring the functionality of one website into the design of another. They are both mine and should be simple but I unable to get the results I need. Any suggestions or a complete fix would be appreciated.

Im looking to get the design and look of the Lafleur_Richard.html file but with the functionality of the zip files.

Please help.

Also, if you click on one of the points in the zip file. You will notice that a bunch of information appears. I have been struggling with the date fields pulling correct dates. The red dots will have dates already entered but the other colored dots should be blank, however the are coming in with defaulted date of 1.1.1970. Not sure if this is something I need to change in ArcGIS or if its a programming thing. Maybe Epoch time or something.

Richard,

In your 3.x app you have the LayerList widget in a left pane that can show the legend and opacity. That feature is not yet available in 4.x. Is there a reason you are using a SceneView instead of a MapView? Do you need 3D for some reason?

No i have no need for 3D, I dont really need the opacity either.

Richard,

Just to be sure you understand you will not get the legend part of the layerlist widget in the 4.x environment yet either.

I need that, is there anyway to change it to the previous environment so that it can include that and the rest of everything i need. If so would you mind changing it or explain how to.

Were you able to figure out the Date issue for the Date_of_Birth and Date_of_Death in the update part of the code?

Yep,

You had them as required fields yet your data had null for those fields in several records and you were automatically converting that null to a date which would default to that 1970 date.

so if I understand they should all be blank then or at least have the MM/DD/YYYY in the field till something is entered. Correct??

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Mon, 08 Jan 2018 19:28:33 GMT

No. It was just that you were assuming that there was a valid date in that field and doing a iso date string conversion on the field when it was null sometimes. I have code in there to check for a null before the conversion now.

Thanks for helping, I have one more question for you today. The legend, how can i change the labeling so that it just says "Interred Individuals" and "Plot Boundaries"? Is that something I need to change in ArcGIS or ArcGIS online or the Coding itself?

If you change it at the web map level it will fix the legend and layerlist at the same time.
