default configuration symbols

glennhazelton — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 14:06:25 GMT

Robert,

Two things--

i have just tryed to change the default configuration symbols. so replacing the binoculars with a dot, the red line with blue one, etc.

i can select what i wnat and click the OK to close the options box.. but when i click the OK to save the changes nothing happens.

if i click Cancel it closes the widget configuration but when i re-open it the new colors and symbols have not been saved.

also

i have a few layers that are symbolizing in the mxd and webmap based 'query feature class' aka 'database view'

the symbols look fine in the WAB but if I leave your selection options to use the 'from server' option, i get the binoculars instead of the symbology from the mapservice.

i will experiment by replacing the 'query layer with a featureclass that is joined to the table to see if that option will work.

Glenn,

You should probably have the name "eSearch" in your title or some where in your text (luckily I know what you are talking about).

I don't have any problem changing the default symbology configuration. So I am not sure what issue you are having. I don't work with database views, but if the rest end point has the symbology listed like the example below then you should not have any issue.

hmm

i switch to a featureclass with a joined table.

maybe it is the complexity of the symbols.

other layers with simpler symbols work fine.

here is the rest file---

Glenn,

Can you zip up your config_Enhanced Search.json for me to look at?

glennhazelton — Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:08:18 GMT

yes

i'll send it via the email as i can't figure out how to do an attachment here.

also

i have been playing with the symbols.

i can change the poly and the line but not the binoculars.

i have tried a few of the other choices

i can change them but when i click the ok nothing happens.

Robert,

i ate lunch and then had a thought or two.

but no answers.

this is the only pt layer that is acting this way so it must have something to do with the symbology.

i'll go back to the mxd and try something simpler to see if it goes away.

meanwhile here is more confusing.

i have the operational layer option checked and the symbols in that are the ones in the server.--good

however as you can see from the screen shot the binoculars, show up in the query and on the map.

maybe it is because there is more than one symbol for this featureclass?

Glenn,

To attach a file all you need to do is reply to the thread (not while in the in box, you need actually open the thread and then reply) then in the reply you will see the "Use advanced editor" in the upper right corner click that and then you will see a little paperclip next to Attach in the lower right of the reply window.

thanks

i have been using this for months and never saw the 'advanced edit features' in the upper right.

you should give a class on how to use the geonet

Glenn, off subject but re a Geonet help....I actually went to see if I could find a simple doc explaining the use of the advanced tab, or just "replying to or participating in a discussion" and couldn't....Timothy Hales correct me if I'm wrong. But for future, check out Posting Code blocks in the new GeoNet which at least mentions the advanced tag use. Main thing, as Robert mentioned, you need to be in the thread itself, and not in the geonet inbox.

...oh, and as Robert suggested, you should change the thread title to something that include search or something more descriptive ( but still keep it short)

The only one I am aware of is this video - Replying to Discussions. Looks like I need to fill the gap with a document to not only cover the reply but using the advanced editor.

Re: default configuration symbols

RebeccaStrauch__GISP — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 15:36:37 GMT

Timothy....hmm I didn't even really know how to or even think about needing to find the videos from the main geonet help page. If I was a totally new user and landed here, I'm not sure I would ever see them. Maybe expand So what's GeoNet? And have it more front and center in the help page too. Sorry about taking this off Glenn's topic...we can fork this to another discussion if you want.

Re: default configuration symbols

glennhazelton — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 15:53:31 GMT

before you all go to a new location..

one more question.

often i will go to Robert's esearch goenet location and be at the first page.

he as about 24 or 25 pages at this point.

is there a way to go to the end quickly?

what i am doing now is finding the lastest response i have and using that to get me close to the end.

Re: default configuration symbols

RobertScheitlin__GISP — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 16:05:34 GMT

Glenn,

Unfortunately no on comments there is not a link like in discussions for "Last Reply" and there is no last page button.

Re: default configuration symbols

RebeccaStrauch__GISP — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 16:09:49 GMT

one way I have found is to look at the number of replies, then in the address box you can specify the response you would like to go to..so for example, there are currently 621 or so responses....to jump near the end (don't necessarily want the last) you can specify the start number....I'll see if I can get this text to copy....

https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-1731#start=25
https://community.esri.com/docs/DOC-1731#start=600

the <#>start=<number> will jump to that page. Post/comment

for this blog, the number of responses is listed under Robert's post. For some "discussions" this is listed at the top of the page. Sorry, I'm on my iPad, so not easy to give a snapshot right now.

Timothy Hales Maybe something else you can add in help

Modifying the URL is the best option. The reason only a a few page of content or replies shows at a single time is because of performance considerations. Jive limits this because everyone has different permissions and therefore see different content.

Re: default configuration symbols

glennhazelton — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 18:32:24 GMT

robert

i feel a bit dumb

i figured out what was going on

i had a url for searching which was pointed a different mapservice than the one being displayed on the map.

so of course it couldn't use the symbology and thus the binoculars showed up.

fyi

esri database views work just fine.

sorry to use your time with this.

Timothy, I just meant you can add info on how to skip like this, using the URL "start" option on one of the help pages. Not many will see this thread Just a suggestion.
