Popup Imagery as Attachments not showing with Search Widget

JeffreyUtter — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 22:25:07 GMT

I'm trying to figure out why my photo attachments are not showing.
I created a Search Widget, modified the Louisville.xml to reflect my attributes.
The Search Widget works, showing my attributes from my msd file except for the attached photo.
Any help would be appreciated.
My config file:
<layer label="Alaska Camps and Cabins" type="dynamic" visible="false" alpha="0.6"
 popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CampsnCabins.xml"

Jeff,

Case is always going to bite you if you don't pay attention to it.

PopUp configuration:

<showattachments>true</showattachments>

Also no where in the layer tag is there a showattachments element for the SearchWidget.xml. For a list of all supported elements/tags in the SearchWidget look here:

http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapps/flexviewer/help/01m3/01m300000023000000.htm

Yes, Case gets me everytime, but still doesn't show after making your corrections.
For simplicity, I only attached 1 photo to one site, Kippi, to test the process will work.
I double check the mxd file, and yes the file is attached. The mxd file published OK, no errors.

Jeff,

You are still a little confused on how this all works. The PopUp that you configured to show attachments has nothing to do with the search widget... The popup that will have the attachment will only show when you click on the feature that you have the popup configured for that layer and does not have anything to do with the search widget. Maybe you need to read up on PopUps:

Well, I read and re-read the Pop-ups.
I am still confused. I thought the Search Widget, with the Config Popup code could call up the Pupup thru that widget.
I'm lost............

Jeff,

I am not sure what else to tell you. The PopUps work (are displayed) based on a map click, on a feature that has popups configured, and is completely independent of any widget. Currently there is no search widget (out of the box, or custom developer widget) that supports attachments.

OK, so if I go with an Operational Layer using Popupconfig, my code would look like this?
<layer label="Camps and Cabins" type="dynamic" visible="false"
url="http://atlas/ArcGIS/rest/services/NSBAreaWideCampsAndCabins111611JAJ/MapServer">
<sublayer id="0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CampsnCabins.xml"/></layer>

When I do, the fields are showing, but no photo.

Looks like I will go with an Operational Layer for Camps and Cabins.
The popup code is:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
 <title>{AK Camps and Cabins}</title>
<description>
 <![CDATA[{OwnerName}, an Alaska Native, is the owner of this {Type}, which is located in the {Area_Location} of the {Village_Area} area. It has a designation number of {Location_Number}.]]>
 </description>
 <fields>
 <field name="OWNERNAME"/>
 <field name="AREA_LOCATION"/>
 <field name="VILLAGE_AREA"/>
 <field name="TYPE"/>
 <field name="LOCATION_NUMBER"/>
 <field name="TYPE"/>
 </fields>
<medias> imageLinkURL = "{URL}"
</medias>
 <showattachments>true</showattachments>
</configuration>



I'm alot closer, but the photo still dosen't want to come in. Clicking on the Blue JPG icon gives me another window opening up with a 500 Server Error.
We checked the IIS permissions and all five arcgis folders are there.
Any thoughts?

Jeff,

So you enable attachments on a featureclass in ArcCatalog and tested in ArcMap that the attachments are working right?

Image one will be what the popup looks like when you have clicked on a feature tht has attachments and you have everything configured correctly.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]10833[/ATTACH]

Make sure that you REST Service directory for the layer with attachments is reporting that it does have attachments enabled as depicted in image 2.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]10834[/ATTACH]

Jeff,

So I am not sure if you are actually using Attachments or not... Based on your last post it looks like you just have a field that has a URL to an image. If that is the case than try this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <title>{AK Camps and Cabins}</title>
    <description>
<![CDATA[<b>{OwnerName}</b>, an <i>Alaska Native, </i> is the owner of this {Type}, which is located in the {Area_Location} of the {Village_Area} area. It has a designation number of {Location_Number}.]]>
    </description>
    <fields>
        <field name="OWNERNAME" />
        <field name="AREA_LOCATION" />
        <field name="VILLAGE_AREA" />
        <field name="TYPE" />
        <field name="LOCATION_NUMBER" />
        <field name="TYPE" />
        <field name="URL" />
    </fields>
    <medias>
        <media type="image" caption="some caption for the image" imagesource="{URL}" imagelink="{URL}"/>
    </medias>
    <showattachments>true</showattachments>
</configuration>

Hi Robert,
No I'm not using the URL code, so I suppose I should delete that from the popups.
In any case, I thought I should start over just to make sure I missed something, so I went to http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Enabling_attachments/001t000003vt000000/
then http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Adding_attachments_to_features/001t000003vv000000/
and then http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/Viewing_attachments/001t000003vw000000/

In ArcCatalog, I added the Attachment, then brought over the Featureclass and Attchment in the new mxd.
I started Editing, went to one of the sites, Abraham Kippi, for reference, Added the Attachment photo as Abraham_Kippi.jpg. I double clicked on the Attachment and it opens up in the default windows viewer and yes I see the Cabin.
Then I went to the Featureclass Properties, HTML and the photo is not showing, just the Attributes.
I think the Attachment photo should show.
Next I checked the Attachment file and open the Table and it shows it.
Then I saved Edits, Saved MXD, Saved as MSD and published it our Server.
Next I checked the REST End point on the server. It is showing Attachment (1)
I open up the Attachments (1). When I go to that, The "Has Attachment:False", which means it hasn't brought over the attachment. why?

Jeffrey,

This now sounds like an esri Tech Support call.
