Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Tue, 09 Feb 2016 19:10:22 GMT

I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I want to include an Identify Link (WAB v1.3). The Link Content is a field and works fine in the Flex version I am transitioning away from. PopUp Link Type is Text and I have included a Link Alias. When I try to perform the Identify it comes up with "No Results Found". If i change the Link Content to a URL it works as expected. If I delete the Identify Link it will identify features properly.

Looking at it in the Inspector/Console - this is the message, but I don't know what this is 'telling me'. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Jason,

It sounds like there is an issue handling null values in the link field. Does your data have nulls in the field you are using for the link? Do you have "Disable Lnk if null" checked?

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:22:09 GMT

Robert,

Thank you for the suggestion. There was one null record, but I had tried "Disable Link if null" both ways. Oddly enough when I update that property in WAB the box is always checked, but the config file gets updated correctly.

Anyway, I populated the null record with a valid URL, but it is still not working. Then i thought it might be that the URL was http when I force everything through https, so I made the change and it still doesn't work.

Here is a link to the public facing app if it helps.

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:41:31 GMT

Jason,

Great I can do some testing on my side using your public facing app. Can you give me some guidence though? What layer, where on the map, etc. is the problem?

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 13:44:39 GMT

Sorry that info probably would help. The layer is High Crash Locations, the red cars on the map. All of those have hyperlinks to PDFs that should work. Thank you!

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 08:41:41 GMT

Jason,

OK, the issue I see right off is that you have the link set to HYPERLINK1:

"links": {
  "link": [
  {
  "alias": "Click to View Crash Cluster Map",
  "disablelinksifnull": false,
  "disableinpopup": false,
  "popuptype": "text",
  "content": "{HYPERLINK1}",
  "icon": ""
  }
  ]
  }

And your Map Service layer does not have a HYPERLINK1 field. It only has a HYPERLINK field.

Fields:

OBJECTID ( type: esriFieldTypeOID , alias: OBJECTID )
TOWNS ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: COMMUNITY , length: 75 )
Locations ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: Locations , length: 180 )
HSIP_ID ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: HSIP ID , length: 16 )
GROUPCODE ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: GROUP CODE , length: 50 )
CRASHCOUNT ( type: esriFieldTypeInteger , alias: CRASH COUNT )
NUM_FATAL ( type: esriFieldTypeInteger , alias: FATAL CRASHES )
NUM_INJURY ( type: esriFieldTypeInteger , alias: INJURY CRASHES )
NUM_NONINJ ( type: esriFieldTypeInteger , alias: NON-INJURY CRASHES )
EPDO ( type: esriFieldTypeInteger , alias: EPDO POINTS )
HYPERLINK ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: HYPERLINK1 , length: 200 )
Shape ( type: esriFieldTypeGeometry , alias: Shape )
HYPERLINK2 ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: HYPERLINK2 , length: 150 )
LINK_ICON ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: LINK_ICON , length: 100 )
HYPERLINK1_ALT ( type: esriFieldTypeString , alias: HYPERLINK1_ALT , length: 250 )

The alias for hyperlink is hyperlink1, so when i add it in WAB that is what it comes up as. Would yopu recommend not using aliases for hyperlink fields?

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:07:27 GMT

Jason,

Ignore the last reply. I have to many widgets out there and am getting the inner working of them confused. The Identify widget is suppose to use the alias field name in the link... I'll keep looking.

Another question the webMap that this WAB app uses did you add the High Crash Locations using the whole https://mrmapper.mrpc.org/arcgis6443/rest/services/HighCrashLocations/MapServer

or the specific layer url

https://mrmapper.mrpc.org/arcgis6443/rest/services/HighCrashLocations/MapServer/0

This make a difference in my code as to which code path I need to check.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:11:31 GMT

The URL for the WebMap is https://mrmapper.mrpc.org/arcgis6443/rest/services/HighCrashLocations/MapServer

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:35:01 GMT

Jason,

A WebMap is an object on AGOL/Portal that points to specific map services to form a map. When using AGOL/Portal to make a WebMap you add layers to the AGOL Map Viewer you can add layers as ArcGISDynamicMapService layers by specifying the map service url without the specific sub layer or you can add the mapservice layer as a FeatureLayer by specifying the url with the sublayer id. This is the question I had above do you know which url you used to add the layer. Unfortunately not being part of your org I can not just go look at the WebMap myself by the webmaps item id "d6155611f82445a29e7c689bec976a67" Like I could if it was my org.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 14:45:05 GMT

My apologies, sometimes by brain gets in the way of itself.. I 'misspoke' I meant to say the service, within the WebMap, end at MapServer, without the /0.

And if it matters I am using Portal not AGOL.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:05:43 GMT

Jason,

Portal adds a level of complexity... As I can not test your exact environment. I added your layer and looked at your config_Identify.json and matched it exactly on my end and I am successfully identifying your data.

So I am wondering if some of the other issues that appear in the browsers web console are affecting this.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 19:20:01 GMT

I am at a loss. If it's not the widget or the data it's probably Portal bc I have had some 'issues' with it. Thanks for the help!

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 19:27:51 GMT

Jason,

My debugging plan of attack would be to start by creating a web map that only has the High Crash Locations layer and build a new app with that new webmap and test the Identify widget again.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 19:35:32 GMT

Still didn't work. Any other thoughts?

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 19:40:10 GMT

That is crazy that you are failing to get identify results and I am able to using your data. What version of the Identify widget are you using? You can hold the alt key on your keyboard and click in the widget to get a dialog that tells you the widget version (I always seem to assume people are using the latest version).

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 19:49:34 GMT

I am using the current version - 1.3

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:15:23 GMT

I would update 1.3.0.1 then and test again as that is what I am using on my end without issue.

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Wed, 10 Feb 2016 20:22:11 GMT

ok, thanks!

Re: Identify Links/Identify Widget

JasonStanton__GISP — Thu, 11 Feb 2016 18:40:14 GMT

Unfortunately that did not work either.
