Identify Widget question

BarryHill1 — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 12:38:25 GMT

When using the IdentifyWidget the result is capturing the raster image (Streetmap, Aerial, Topo). Looking at the IdentityWidget config file I see the "Identifylayeroption" is set to 'visible'. I just want to identify the layers that are coming from my Server map service. I tried setting the parameter to 'top' and 'all' but get the same result. This is my first Flexview project so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks.

Barry,

You would need to use the:

<layers onlythese="true">

and then specify all the layers that you want results for.

hi Robert,

Just a question over this identify widget.
Is it possible to implement a "gridresult" as in the esearch widget?

Is it a lot of work for you?

Thanks.

David

David,

I have no plans to do that.

Funny you just asked that.

David: Will you be adding that? It gets a little more complicated since we will be dealing with multiple layers and it looks like the Grid for the Enhanced Search only handles one layer.

Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with the identify Widget. I just downloaded the compiled version of flexviewer 2.4 and downloaded the identify widget as well. I am getting error #2036.
I have not seen any examples on how config.xml is configured. is there a place to specify the url for the map service that I am missing. Thanks in advance for your help
Oranous

I have added the following to config.xml

<widgetcontainer layout="float">
<widget label="Identify features" left="410" top="280"
                icon="assets/images/i_about.png"
                config="widgets/IdentifyWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/IdentifyWidget.swf"/>
</widgetcontainer>

and identifyWidget.xml is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
<identifylayeroption>visible</identifylayeroption>
<identifytolerance>5</identifytolerance>
<defaultzoomscale>5000</defaultzoomscale>
<keepidentifyactive>true</keepidentifyactive>
         
<labels>
<zoom2message>Click to Zoom to Point</zoom2message>
<identifylabel>Identify</identifylabel>
<resultslabel>Results</resultslabel>
<descriptionlabel>Use the identify tool to identify features on the map:</descriptionlabel>
<pointlabel>Identify by Point</pointlabel>
<linelabel>Identify by Polyline</linelabel>

Oranous,

So did you copy the IdentifyWidget.swf and .xml to your widgets folder in your compiled Flex Viewer location? Error 2036 means it can not find the file.

Re: Identify Widget question

OranousDanandeh — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:37:20 GMT

yes is did. I created a folder called Identify under Widgets folder and copied the the two files you specified.

OranousDanandeh — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 23:40:29 GMT

I left out the directory Identify in the path for the config and url files.
Thank you. It is working now.
