Identify Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 18:34:41 GMT

All,

I have been waiting for the Final release of the FlexViewer 2.1 before I started to push out some widgets I have been working on.

Here is my Identify Widget for Flex Viewer 2.1. I have tested to ensure proper functioning with FlexViewer 2.1 and am now releasing it to you since the API Team did not get one into the FlexViewer.

Here is the link:

More FlexViewer 2.1 widgets to come stay tuned...

Thank you for this inescapable Widget !

In previous version (1.3) i've tweaked it because we needed prefix and suffix configuration for the link field. We also needed to purpose picture and hyperLink in the same info popup and Icon could be different for a layer or regarding field value. In previous version i think zoomscale could be different regarding the layer.
And then, the cherry on the cake (like is said in my country) would be that icon for the hyperlink could be configurable for the widget.

Could this modifications be integrated in your widget ? I hope this could interest other users.

Regards.

Erwan

My configuration for a layer looked like :

<layer>
 <name>LayerName</name>
 <fields>field1,field2</fields>
 <linkfield>linkField</linkfield>
 <linkprefix>http://webserverurl/index.php?linkField=</linkprefix>
 <linksuffix></linksuffix>
 <iconefield>otherField</iconefield>
 <iconeprefix>http://pictureWebserver/index.php?otherField=</iconeprefix>
 <iconesuffix>suffixValue(jpg)</iconesuffix>
 <imagefield>otherField</imagefield>
 <imageprefix>http://pictureWebserver/index.php?otherField=</imageprefix>
 <imagesuffix>suffixValue(jpg)</imagesuffix>
 <zoomscale>5000</zoomscale>
</layer>

Robert,

Great job!

Robert,

One remark:

Can you make the Tooltip als configurable in de XML:

toolTip="Click to Zoom to Point"

Of course I can do it in the mxml, but is should be nice for the non-developers if it was also available in the Compiled version.

Robert,

Nice tool.

How can I edit the mxml file so that the identify tool only identifies one layer?

Also, is there a simple way to build a URL on the click event which attaches a field (id) to a constant URL string? I have a cold fusion data page which I'd like to query using the Identify Widget (pass URL query string).

Thanks.

erwan.caradec, Can you post your tweeks to the .mxml file? I'd like to add the linkprefix variable to the Identify widget.

Thanks.

Will,

I am looking at updating based on Erwan's and Ernst's suggestions. Not sure I will go down Erwan's suggestion of having a image and hyperlink though as that would require updating the InfoPopupWidget as well. But I am looking at the prefix and suffix on the hyperlink.

Great widget! I have one question. I am getting duplicate results. Do you have any idea why? Thank you for posting this widget.

Never mind, I figured it out my mistake. Thanks!

Can you share your solution? I'm having the same problem.

Re: Identify Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

ErwanCaradec — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 17:38:09 GMT

Hi Shannon,
we had the same problem in previous version because identifyWidget return one result for the group layer and a second result for the sub layer, it may be the same problem ?
I haven't my ArcGIS server at home so i can't reproduce the problem.
Look around this post :

Erwan,

Strange that I don't see the duplicate result issue and I have lots of grouped layers in my services... I wonder If I should look at adding your solution for that issue? It would be nice if I could duplicate the issue some are seeing with this.

Ok,
i can't reproduce the problem with the sample server on arcgisonline. I'll try later with my own server (on local network) and feed you back if necessary.

Will,

Do you mean one MapService or on layer in a MapService?

Re: Identify Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

WillHughes1 — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 19:36:45 GMT

One layer in a mapservice.
