Campus Place Locator on Portal

HlynurIngólfsson — Fri, 02 Jun 2017 13:11:22 GMT

Hello.

Something seems to be off with my attempts to start using the Campus Place Locator, even when I go through the official guidelines from A to Z.

So I was wondering if anyone else has had these growing pains. I am using a Portal setup and I have tried both hosting the tiled layers and featureservices on Portal and also to post them to server and take them from there to Portal, with them being all very visible and nice in a map on Portal itself (the 'create map' stage being completed).

But when I go to configuring and posting then something is very off the code reveals nothing but the pan in/out buttons.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

-With regards, Hlynur.

Hello,

I'm looking to install Portal and am interested in campus locator. Is there any documents guiding me how I would install or create the campus locator?

Thank you

Matthew Balog‌ Instructions can be found here: Campus Place Locator | ArcGIS for Local Government

It is unclear from hlynur.ingolfsson‌ , but from the documentation it appears that the services can be hosted in either ArcGIS Online or your portal/ArcGIS Server, but the map used in the application needs to be hosted in ArcGIS Online.

I have not been able to get anything to load from index.html.

I get the following errors:

We were very interested in the Campus place locator. And, having an Esri consultant in with a day of spare time up his sleeve, asked him if he could help us set-up the campus place locator, He could not. We are now looking at developing a tool from scratch. I would be very interested to hear from anybody that could make the campus place locator work with their particular data and learn how they did it.

Are you doing this with AGOL or Portal?

Could you provide more information about what issues you ran into, or what questions you had that that couldn't be answered?

We run ArcGIS Server, Portal, SQLServer and IIS on our own server. Our enterprise geodatabase is NOT based on the Local Government Information model / schema, but contains very similar types of information. Hence, adapting the Campus Place Locator to our data appeared not as easy as I hoped. However, the main feature that we want from the application is the building floor / level features. That is, we want to be able to search for a specific room and, once a single room is selected, have the application zoom to the relevant room and switch on the floor layout details for that building and floor level. Also, we would like to have buttons (or a dropdown list) that allow selection of the floor for which layout is to be displayed. I tried downloading the Campus Place Locator to our server and dig around in the code. It appears to be MVC based, but I am not exactly sure if it is based on a particular framework.

Hi Werner,

The app doesn't require the LGIM data model; you can configure which fields and layers contain each of the relevant pieces of information in the config.js file.

As stated above - The app does require the configured map the be hosted in AGOL. You can still use your Enterprise layers, but you'll need to add them to a map in AGOL and reference that map in the app configuration.

If you are encountering specific error messages, please share them. As long as the only changes you are making are in the configuration file, this app is also fully supported by Esri Support Services. If you need in-depth troubleshooting help with the configuration and deployment, I suggest giving them a call.

I was getting the same thing as yourself. Only the Pan In and out. If you turn on the Developer Tools in say Chrome it would start working with no issues. It's also temperamental working sometimes but not others when the developer tools are turned off. I've managed to get it working but I'm having issues with labels for the fieldName:'SPACEID', label:'Room Number' not working. So in the instance I just showed the Room Number label doesn't show up, only the text 'SPACEID'. I haven't published any of my layers to AGOL I've only setup a Map Service similar to ESRI's (http://services6.arcgis.com/Pu6Fai10JE2L2xUd/ArcGIS/rest/services/BuildingInterior/FeatureServer ). I just need to figure out how to get the dang label to work and I'll be in better shape. I'm curious if you hit F12 in chrome to turn on your Developer tools (or Ctrl-shift-i) if your would start working.

ESRI: Why are my label not showing up? I've tried using visible:true as well but no luck either.

Hi John!

I'm still learning the ropes here myself, and am commenting to follow any action that may occur on this thread. I published my campus locator after filling in the config.js details, and changed the zoom to lat/long to meet our desired location. When I publish it, I see the banner for the app across the top, but there are no zoom/pan tools, or any map layers shown! Currently using ArcGIS Online hosted feature services for the building layers, but going to try next with ArcServer hosted REST feature services and see if they appear. I'll circle back if I get anywhere. Best of luck to you!

John, can you share your config.js file?

I'll take a look and see if anything stands out.

Also, what version of ArcGIS Server are you using? Are you strictly configuring using the config.js file ?

ArcGIS for Server 10.6

Do you have an e-mail I can e-mail you my config file please.
Thank you,

Mine did the same thing with limiting the zoom in and out and all the other tools unless I turned on Developer tools. Then they would work for one instance but as soon as I refreshed the page they would go away again. We publish everything from our own Server as I don't want to rely on AGOL but it won't allow my labeling from my own services for some reason, which is simple you would think but doesn't work. I'm about ready to deploy ours once we resolve some of these final issues. Yes, the zoom in/out and tools not working is frustrating to say the least.

Below is a summary to the resolution that John figured out and shared with me via email:

I decided to run the Campus Locator using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.25. This inadvertently caused the application to not support the ‘label’ tag of the config.js for the popupFields. I resorted the application back to 3.20 which supports the ‘label’ tag as well as the labeling from AGOL.

John, please jump in if I missed anything

-Lindsay

Also, just a bit of information about configurable JavaScript applications created by the ArcGIS Solutions team, the application was created and certified on ArcGIS API for JavaScript 3.14. However, when updating the API to a higher version there could issues related to the upgrade that may require addition coding\fixes. If there is a business need to increment the API version of the application then this may make sense, however, if the update is just related to using a newer version of the API, if may not be worth the additional level of effort to fix issues related to the using the higher API version.

Is anyone aware if there an update to the config file? The current version seems to have stopped working.
