Images do not display in identify widget pop up

wilfredwaters — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 04:58:16 GMT

Hi all,

I am using the identify widget v 3.0.1. I have successfully set it up to identify a point dataset, displaying some items only in the pop up. I now want to display photos in the pop up. It does not, however, display such images even when I have, to my knowledge, been setting up the config file correctly (see below). Any help much appreciated.

Yes, the map service is set up with a field called 'photo' containing the file name and extension of the photos so it matches up with the prefix in the syntax of the identify widget below. I checked that this field is accessible to the widget by adding it into the list to be displayed when one uses the widget (see bolded syntax below). Strangely, this then caused the pop up to behave as though it were displaying the photos, but only a frame with a broken image symbol in the middle appeared. Also, the red x image in the identify tool results was also replaced with a broken image symbol.

Wilfred,

Have you tried accessing one of your images by just typing in the address in a browser. Your problem sounds like the path to the image is not correct or you do not have access to the image.

Regards

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

Thanks for your interest. I checked this by clicking the frame with the broken link symbol. It then showed the path that it was trying to retrieve the image from. I found that it was pointing to the wrong folder on the web server. I simply transferred the photos to the folder it was in fact pointing to, and voi la, the photos now come up in the pop up. I then commented out the following:

<name>offices</name>
  <fields>
  <!--field name="photo" alias="photo" /-->

and it still works.

I'll put this down to being confused as I'm new to developing Flex apps.
