Troubles with Pop ups in 2.3.1

JoshWhite — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 20:26:57 GMT

I recently upgraded my Flex Viewer to 2.3.1 and liked the idea of the popups. I set popups up for my operational layer called parcels. Trouble is no window comes up even though the parcels are visible, it could be that I have some setting that isn't right. I will post my config file in its current form.

Re: Troubles with Pop ups in 2.3.1

To use a pop-up window for a dynamic map service, you need to include the sublayer id and a closing </layer> tag as shown below.

<operationallayers>
<layer label="Parcels" type="dynamic" visible="true"
url="http://gis-server/ArcGIS/rest/services/Parcels/MapServer">
<sublayer id="0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_parcels.xml"/>
</layer>
</operationallayers>

</operationallayers>

I still cannot get mine to work. When I add the </layer> tag I receive this error:

Fault code: Client.CouldNotDecode

Fault info: Error #1085

Fault details: null

What version SDK do I need to use?

I figured out my problem. Since its a joined table I needed to add the joined table name as a prefix (ie: OwnershipRecords.OWNER) in order to get it to work. Now I have another question, is there a line of code that can be added to increase the width of the box, its cutting off the attributes and also one of the field names.

I still have the problem with my updates not showing in Internet Explorer but Firefox seems to get my updates.

I think its time Esri created a Flex Viewer that is out of the box. Supposedly it doesn't require any programming but all this little subtleties are basically programming as far as I'm concerned. I'm not a programmer, I am a GIS Coordinator.

bkratcha,

Did you update your popup.xml to reflect the fields you want to display? Post your code if you can and I will take a look at it.

Hi Patrick,

I was able to get it too work. I was entering the wrong sublayer id.

<layer label="Transmission" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="1"
        url="http://pse-dt-7-1010:8399/arcgis/rest/services/PPI_Flex_Viewer_Transmission/MapServer">
         <sublayer id="5" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="6" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="7" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="8" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="9" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="10" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
         <sublayer id="11" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_ExchangePoint.xml"/>
</layer>

Refresh in IE 9

JoshWhite — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:12:19 GMT

I can't seem to get my updates to the configuration files to show up in Internet Explorer 9. They show up fine in Firefox. I have cleared the cache closed/reopened the browser, restarted my computer and nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

I use Ccleaner when I want to make sure my browsers are all cleared.

That sounded great until I realized it wasn't free. Seems like a lot of money for a two second fix. Any other ideas?

Thanks Justin, that seems to have fixed the problem.

Re: Troubles with Pop ups in 2.4

JoshWhite — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 12:46:20 GMT

I have this strange issue with popups. They work fine for the first parcel I click on but then for subsequent parcels all I get is the title field and a blank popup with the zoom in link at the bottom. Any idea why this would happen?
