Attachment Relate problems

JordanBrod — Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:21:20 GMT

In implementing the the attachment relate widget I have a had a few problems. 1. When clicking in the first window to select the table which attributes I wish to view, when I click done no related table window shows, the webpage hangs. 2. Due to the fact that no related table showing I don't know if the export to csv function is enabled or not. 3. When viewing the preview version the related tables will not come up and when hitting the close button it throws an error. I have checked the rest page and it shows the relationships, I have checked to ensure that my fields are correct, and I have scoured the forums for similar issues looking for answers and haven't found any. Hopefully someone can help me to correct these problems, since the tool will in theory be very beneficial to my organization.

Jordan,

So I have a couple of questions:

3. When viewing the preview version the related tables will not come up and when hitting the close button it throws an error
Does this mean that you are talking about using my live preview site? And if so are you you going to the second link, the "Preview of related feature capability"? If you are clicking on the first link then that Feature "San Fransisco 3-1-1 Incidents" does not have any related data and thus the error message.

Can you post your main config.xml and your infoconfig xml file (i.e. IWT_KSPetroFields.xml)?

Robert,

1. I don't remember which one I think I have tried multiple links, but the first popup shows a related table and then the errors follow, maybe there is no data in the table I don't know on that.

2. The config files follow below since the attachment feature doesn't like xml files.

Thanks for your help.

Jordan,

Hmm... So I need to ask if you have supplied the actual files your are working with or if you put some erroneous info in here to protect your actual data? Because I believe that the text marked in red is a significant issue if this what you are actually using.

        <operationallayers>
            <layer label="Poles" type="feature" visible="true"
                   info="widgets/InfoTemplates/AttRelateInfoWinWidget.swf"
                   infoconfig="widgets/InfoTemplates/IWT_Signs.xml"
                   url="http://yourserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Signs/FeatureServer/0/"/>
        </operationallayers>

Just protecting my data while it's not much and it would be easy to figure out I felt more comfortable removing it while publicly posting the config files.

Jordan,

Does you app allow for editing of the signs? If you are not doing editing I would suggest using the MapServer instead of the FeatureServer URL. This is a little hard to diagnose this way.

Re: Attachment Relate problems

JordanBrod — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:28:26 GMT

Robert,

It was doing it with the mapserver as well when I first implemented the widget I was only running the signs under a mapserver, when I saw that the type needed to be feature I changed that and that allowed the widget to start bringing up the first popup about the poles and show the related sign table but then the error would occur when trying to access the related sign table. I tried making it a featureserver to see if that would fix it but the problem still occurred so I have tried it both ways.

Are there any updates on this issue?

Re: Attachment Relate problems

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:27:11 GMT

Jordan,

Can you do a screen shot of the error you are receiving?

Re: Attachment Relate problems

JordanBrod — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:06:25 GMT

Ok I have attached screen shots from the entire process. Step 1 is after clicking on a point, Step 2 is after clicking on the show related button, Step 3 is the map hung after clicking the highlighting the related table and click done. The close attachment box(which should have been named close related box) is the only thing that throws an error box, and that's produced when clicking show related and then clicking the x to close the box.

Re: Attachment Relate problems

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 13:33:44 GMT

Jordan,

So you are click on the row in the relates table called "sign" before clicking the done button right?

Re: Attachment Relate problems

JordanBrod — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:23:25 GMT

Yeah making sure it's highlighted before click done so that way the program knows which one to load, since there is only one it doesn't have a lot of options but in the future some of these will have multiple related tables so one will have to be selected, and in your instructions I believe it said to select the table that you want to open then click done.

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 12:35:02 GMT

Jordan,

I am pretty much at the limit of the help I can provide, with the information you are giving me. If I had access to the real url I could test on my ending using http tools like fiddler to see the http requests and responses, but short of that I don't have any more ideas.

Jordan,

The issue you are having is because you are attempting to use a Flex Viewer 3.0 widget in a Flex Viewer 2.5 application... Wow we have spent a lot of time back in forth for such a simple issue...

You can find a 2.5 version of this widget on the download site by looking for this line
