Layers menu not showing in NLiu's TOC widget

[banumsbanums]

Hi, I am trying to add the layers at http://gis.fema.gov/REST/services/FEMA/Surge/MapServer to  NLiu's TOC, but the layers are not visible in the TOC widget menu. Any suggestions please

Thanks

The map service doesn't have a Legend page that the TOC needs to create the symbology. Compare its REST page with one of Esri's

It's 10.0, I think they need to upgrade 🙂

Nliu's widget supports 10 through arcgis's legend service, but I think you need the proxy set up

How do you control whether a mapservice supports a Legend?  I have that option available in both v10.0 and v10.2 mapservices.  In the creation of the mapservice, I do not see an option for enabling/disabling a legend in the mapservice.

Thanks Ken.
Are there any alternate solutions to use TOC, using webservices without legend.

Thanks

[JeffPace]

there is a way. From _getLegendInfo method.

if (this.rootLayer.version >= 10.01) {
    url = this.rootLayer.url.replace('MapServer','MapServer/legend');
      } else {
        url = location.protocol+'//www.arcgis.com/sharing/tools/legend';
        var i = this.rootLayer.url.toLowerCase().indexOf('/rest/');
        var soap = this.rootLayer.url.substring(0, i) + this.rootLayer.url.substring(i + 5);
        url = url + '?soapUrl=' + escape(soap);
      }

you use an else if to hardcode a json file with your own custom legend

We did this on an old layer that was pure annotation that corrupted the legend

So
1. Put a json file with the legend on a webserver
2. Put the path in the _getLegendInfo method

so

else if(url===' http://gis.fema.gov/REST/services/FEMA/Surge/MapServer'){
url = <mywebserver>/customFEMAlegend.json
}

and customFEMAlegend.json as (sample from one of our traffic layers).

I used hardcoded thumbnail urls because we support ie7.  If you do not, you can use base64 img tags

How do you control whether a mapservice supports a Legend?  I have that option available in both v10.0 and v10.2 mapservices.  In the creation of the mapservice, I do not see an option for enabling/disabling a legend in the mapservice.

its service pack 1 that enabled it i think (10.01).

That site has a custom installation, no "arcgis" application and SOAP end point seems deployed separately. If upgrading to 10.01+ is not option, you need play with http://utility.arcgis.com/sharing/tools/legend with that site until you can figure out how to get a legend JSON file. It would helpful if you have access to admin.
