Basemap Switcher Not Showing Up Anymore - Flex Map 3.6

LarryJahn — Thu, 23 Jan 2014 18:11:04 GMT

I no longer see a basemap switcher button. I double checked the settings, and everything is turned on as it should be. However, when I view the published map, the basemap button is not there. Any ideas?

Larry,

Are you using the online basemaps or your own basemaps?

If you are wanting to use the online basemaps do you have the attribute addarcgisbasemaps="true" in your map tag in the main config file.

If you are using your own services do you have more than one specified as the switcher will only be shown if you have more than one basemap.

Regards

Anthony

I don't want to hijack someone else's thread, but I just came cross this same issue. Worked fine in 3.4, moved to 3.6 and no Basemaps button. I'm using my own basemap services and have several defined in the Basemaps tag. I don't see any issues in the configs, have read and dont' see any new changes in 3.6 that should be relevant.

The layer tags themselves seem to be fine - if i set any one of them to visible="true" they display okay. Just the button is missing.

Greatful for any ideas as this is my last piece to being able to complete the move to 3.6.

Maybe not the best longterm solution, but the next thing i tried worked. I renamed the mapswitcherwidget.swf and replaced it with the one from 3.4. Works fine for now. Will revisit if I come across more information on what kept it from working with 3.6 version of the swf.

You both should post your main config.xml to help Anthony disagnose your issues.

Anthony:

The "addarcgisbasemaps" variable is set to true. I am meshing together esri basemaps with ArcGIS online maps using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex.

Currently, an esri basemap appears, but I am unable to change the esri basemap in my flex map.

Attached is my config.xml file.

Thanks!

Larry,

I have just set up a quick viewer in my dropbox account, used your config file but just changed the webmap id to one of mine as yours are not publically available and the base map switcher works as expected, see:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25829160/Flexviewer/index.html?config=config1.xml

Maybe its to do with your webmap not being open to the public?

Anthony:

My webmap being open to the public was never an issue before. Did something change in the latest version of ArcGIS Viewer for Flex that will cause this to be an issue?

As a previous poster mentioned, I never had any issues until I upgraded from 3.4 to 3.6.

Attached is a cropped image of a screen shot of my map. You'll notice my basemap button is missing.

Larry,

I am not 100% sure if it is anything to do with your web map not being public, I am just trying to narrow down what the problem is. As you can see from my last post I have used your config file and just replaced the web map id to one of mine that is public just to check that it works ok. Does the link work for you?

Have you tried making your map public and testing again. Maybe there has been some bug introduced between versions.

Anthony

Anthony:

Your link does work.

I made my map temporarily available to the public and the map switcher button displayed and worked properly.

I'm guessing maybe a new bug was introduced in 3.6?

Basemap switcher started working again.
