New Enhanced Edit Widget for Flex Viewer 3.0

BenKane — Sat, 19 May 2012 01:34:52 GMT

I have just uploaded an enhancement to the Edit Widget for Flex Viewer 3.0,
you can get it here.

This modification on allows for editing of features in a FeatureLayer only if they were added during the user session. All other features that existed in the FeatureLayer before the layer was loaded to the map are not editable.

I uploaded a compiled and an uncompiled version.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think!
Ben

Hi Ben
I've found a glitch in your widget, if I put a point in your map, delete it right away, I can then move one other point of my choice, I've moved some points together to show it.

Hey Ben, I'm trying to use your compiled version but with no luck.
I'd really love to get this working as it's just the thing I need for a public comments service.

I've downloaded the compiled version, but it seems no different that the default one that I get with the 3.0 download.
I downloaded direclty from the arcgis.com site using this link - http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c12dfc1fbc5c49bfa21c48c809a1eaca
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Steve

Steve-
What specifically is the problem you are having when trying to use the widget? Are you able to edit features added in previous sessions, or is there a different issue?

Ben

Hi Ben, sorry for the vague description.
Yes, I'm able to still edit other points added in a previous session.
The .xml file contents are all commented out, so when I use the widget straight out of the .zip file, nothing is actually visible in the widget. It opens fine, no error, but the widget is just blank, so can't add or edit anything. I uncommented everything and tried change true to false for some settings but still can edit points added in previous sessions.
So it works/runs with no errors, but just can't get it to restrict editing points from a previous session.

THanks again for the widget and the help - will be excellent to get this working
Steve

This sounds like an issue with either your feature layer or with your main config.xml file. Do you call both the EnhancedEditWidget and the default EditWidget in the application? All of the tags in the widget xml file are supposed to be commented out. You can modify the behavior of the widget by altering the tags, but you then won't have the functionality you're looking for here.

Perhaps you can give me a URL to your app and/or the config.xml in a private message so I can of more assistance troubleshooting?

hi again Ben,
I've tried sendiing you a couple PMs - not sure it's working though because my Sent folder always says 0 sent.
Anyhow - I've mnaaged to get the widget partially working, however it appears I can still click on a previously entered point one time and change attributes. But just the one time, after that, it's properly locked out and can't be edited.

EDIT - hmm actually it looks like features flip back and forth from being locked to editable...

i'll do some more testing
Steve
if you're not getting the PMs you can email me directly - steve.nelson'AT'banff.ca and I can send you the config file if you'd like .

Here's the project

Will it be possible to disable the move of the selected graphic(polygon) and just allow the vertex to be moved.Please direct and we have been hacking to achieve this thru backing up the geometry on the selection of the polygon and listening for the graphic_move event and restoring it to the previous geometry and alerting a message moving is not allowed. This solution is causing issues with stacked polygons taking the shape of the neigbouring polygon randomly.

Hello colleagues/

A simple question? its clear to me that this edit widget dont act at the mxd that support the map service, but where the adds are stored? At a temp folder?

Best Regards

@Steve - Did the file I gave you solve your problem and get the widget functioning for you?

@lingpri - I haven't been able to replicate your problem. I am always able to move individual vertices.

@jecogeo - The edits you make in the web interface should be reflected in the mxd the map was produced from. You may have to close and reopen the mxd to see the edits.

Just downloaded and replaced my edit widget with this one; used editwidget.xml as downloaded no changes. The map app has only one editable feature service. If I click on an existing feature, it lets me edit and or delete, even though it is not from this session. If I add a new feature, it won't let me attribute it. If I save the new feature (no attributes) and click on it to edit - then it lets me edit it. Running flex 3.0, AGS server 10.0, feature is a point entity. Any ideas?

Ronald - I've been informed of this behavior by one other person who downloaded the widget. I've just updated the download at http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=c12dfc1fbc5c49bfa21c48c809a1eaca so please try downloading again and test to see if it works. If you can share the url for your app I am curious to take a look at it and at the structure of your feature class to see if I can identify what may be causing this behavior. If you are able to share it you can send it to me in a PM if you like.

Ben,

The download link says you have included the compiled and uncompiled version in the zip file.
I do not see the source in there, just compiled version. Would it be possible to get the source also?

Thanks,

@rzufelt -
Oops, I updated the code a little while back and forgot to include the source when uploading it...I've uploaded the code again, and it does now include the source files again.

Hi Ben:

Thank you for making this change to the widget- this is exactly the functionality that I'd like to incorporate into my web map.

I was wondering whether you had a version of your edits that should work with the application builder for ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.0?

I tried making a copy of the compiled folder from your download, renaming as EnhancedEditWidget, and zipping the renamed folder up since the application builder only recognizes zip folders. When I replaced the regular edit widget with the zip of the renamed folder in the application builder- the edit widget wouldn't let me edit the attributes of any features- regardless of when they were created or what user had created them.

Any thoughts are much appreciated-if at all possible, I'd really like to be able to incorporate your widget into my web map via the application builder.

Thank you.

Virginia
