ALL Robert Scheitlin Widgets are 2.4 compatable

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 17:41:44 GMT

All,

I have recompiled all my widget and updated the downloads to contain the new 2.4 compiled version of the swf.
Some widgets received other enhancements but most were just recompiled.

Hi again:)

I've just started with an organization that has purchased an ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 2.1 web mapping application (no .mxml's available). I would really like to add your Identify Widget, however the path forward seems obstacle ridden. Can I make the 2.3.1 or 2.4 Identify Widget backwards compatible? I don't have a 2.1 version of it. I'm using Flash Builder 4.5, and I only have the compiled version of the 2.1 Viewer, although I do have uncompiled (and compiled) versions of the latest FlexViewer releases. I'm struggling to find documentation (2.1 API?), and would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks again,
Kate Lyndegaard.

Kate,

If your organization purchased the Flex Viewer, I hope that it is highly customized... Since the source code and the viewer are free. I would go back to individual or organization you purchased from and request the source code if it a customized version. The next draw back is now you have a version that is 3 releases behind. I will have to check if there is still a link out there to my 2.1 version of the identify widget.

Robert Thanks so much for all the hard work keeping your Great widgets up to date.
I have noticed on all your samples you utilize a config file that feeds into the url for launching flexviewer.
Could you share how you accomplish this, I have been looking for a way to maintain 1 website and feed different config files to it.

Larry,

Simply copy the main config.xml file and when you paste it back to the src folder rename it, for example I have config-identify.xml and then when you have a link to your web site you just add ?config=config-identify.xml to the url.
Like this:

Thanks Robert.
I did ask someone at our organization to request the .mxml's, however the consultants said "No" so I guess that's that.

Kate,

So what does your version do that is different than the free viewer?

Dear Robert;

The 5 customized widgets are utilities related and perform network traces. To provide one example, if an outage occured at a specific location, all affected areas could be determined; they use geometric networks. One of the widgets also prints a PDF directly and all return results in data grids.

I have been tasked with an identify widget, and a customized locate widget that incorporates two autocomplete combo boxes to locate an intersection (although we have no intersection layer). I feel that I could get the combo boxes to populate and zoom to query result if we had an intersection layer, as I have done as much with the locator task sample. However, manipulating the locate widget to use two autocompletes and have the result bound to the second combo box is something I am struggling with. Do you think it's feasible?

Thank you for your continuing support,
Kate Lyndegaard.

Kate,

Well I have seen several site that have the locate widget working using a street intersection so manipulating the widget UI to use to auto complete comboboxes and then concatenating them together with a comma between before firing off the task should not re very hard at all.

Attached is the Flex Viewer 2.1 version of my identify widget.

Thank you Robert.

I'm confident that I'll get my intersection widget working eventually, it's a learning process. No one at my organization knows what Flex is so I'm on my own here unfortunately.

Thank you again,
Kate Lyndegaard.

Hello All,

I am working on Mr. Scheitlin's Identify Widget, and I am wondering if there are any side effects to setting the navigation setting to "true" (by default they are all "false"). My changed code is as follows (from IdentifyWidget.mxml, approx Lines 368 -372):

    lastTool = selectedDrawingIcon.name;
    setMapNavigation("none", "");
    map.panEnabled = true;
    map.mapNavigationEnabled = true;
    map.rubberbandZoomEnabled = true;

Simply, this should enable panning and rubber band zooming to work while the Identify Widget is active. However, I am guessing there may have been a reason that these are set to not run in the file that is available online. I would prefer to keep the navigation settings activated, thus the question.

Thanks!

Colter

Colter,
I've been tinkering with the code and it appears that all can be set to be active without any adverse behavior.

Colter and Eric,

This will be fixed in the next release coming out ASAP. I should have removed a lot of that code as it is unnecessary in FV 2.4.

Hi All,

This is just a huge tanks fo the usefull work and widgets done by Mr. Scheitlin.

I was facing problems with popups as there's a bug in v2.4 (as mentioned by DPaddock) and this mornin' I just give a try to Robert Scheitlin's Enhanced Infotemplate wich solved in a blink of an eye every limitations I encounter.
Just follow the instructions, configure it to your needs and ... it works perfectly well !

Sometimes the sun shine even when it's rainin' ! 😉

Have a nice day.
Pierre.

Robert I just downloaded your 2.4 version of the legend widget and it is still uncompiled. Do you plan on compiling it? I have tried compiling it (I am a beginner at compiling widgets) and haven't had any success.

Additionally I am using your wonderful identify widget but am not sure how to set it up to identify on only certain layers. I didn't see a "read me" file on configuring this widget. Currently when I identify with the tool it pulls up every layer that is visible in my basemap service.

Thanks for your fantastic help!

Maria,

I have to admit this has me a little confused... When you downloaded the zip file did it not have a compiled_FV2.4 folder in it with the DynamicLegend folder that contains the DynamicLegendWidget.swf?

And for the identify widget don't you see the Identify Widget XML Configuration.pdf in the zip file? I spend a some time on these documents ensuring to outline each attribute of each element in the xml file.

MariaSevier — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:20:52 GMT

Hi Robert,

I downloaded the legend widget back on 8/4 and all it gave me was the uncompliled TOC_sp1 folders. I will check the download link again to see if this has been updated. I was specifically on your dynamic legend details and download page which is why I was confused by your thread that all of your widgets were now compiled for 2.4.

As for the identify I just must have missed the element info that I was looking for in the .pdf file on it's configuration information. I will check it again and let you know if I can't find it.

Thanks as always for all of your work on these great widgets!
Maria

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 20:28:57 GMT

Maria,

OK, I see the problem then. It sounds like you are talking about a version of the widget that was attached to a thread and not the official download location for the TOCWidget not the legend widget.

As far as the IdentifyWidget look at <layers onlythese="true">
