ArcGIS flex viewer 3.1 Identify Widget

ManuelRodriguez2

I am fairly new to using custom widgets. I have copied the compiled widget folder over and added the text the the config.xml file. The widget loads correctly in the viewer but I can not get it to detect any features in the map at all. Even with the <layers onlythese="false">. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Excellent Robert! When I specify the property layer in the widget it returns the results specified using any of the selection methods.
Thank you,
Andrew

Hi Richard

I build a new site in with 1 functional layer using App builder and copied over the your xml code to the config.xml for identify widget. But identify widget still does not work shows a message 'No Results Found'

Rosy,

Have you configured the IdentifyWidget.xml for your map service?

yes , I did. This is what it looks like :

Rosy,

What what type of layer is it that you are trying to identify and is it an operational layer or basemap layer? Is it a secured layer?

RosyChawla1

My application has a base map layer ( OpenStreetMap ). Link to my layers is

http://webgis2.h-gac.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/TIP_Call/RoadConstr_Projects/MapServer.

My goal is to be able to 'identify' features in following 2 layers.

TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_pts_1
TELUS.TELUS_ADMIN.tip_call_lns_1

I created a new application ( for testing purposes) with just the basemap & one layer and copied over the contents of IdentifyWidgets.xml ,as suggested in one of the threads.

Rosy,

I was able to add you map service to FV and use the identify on them just fine...

Robert,

Can you send me a copy of IdentifyWidget.xml that you used for this project? I think that'll really help me.

Thank You.

I don't know what am I doing different from you that my results are not coming up.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22906[/ATTACH]

I downloaded the zip file from :

https://github.com/rscheitlin/Identify

Unzipped it & copied the Identify folder under compiled_FV3.1 to C:\C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\flexviewers\<MyApplicationName>\widgets\

Added the line to config.xml.

Made the required changes to IdentifyWidget.xml

Please let me know if you see any in-accuracy in my steps.

Rosy,

The GitHub Site is for those using the source code ONLY. You need to click on the

Code Attachment IdentifyWidget.zip Download

Link further down the page and as you are using Application Builder you should use the Identify.zip in the For_AppBuilder3.1 and follow the instruction Here for adding the widget in App Builder.

RosyChawla1

Hi Robert

I downloaded Identify.zip for Appbuilder3.1 & imported it in Application Builder. Made the required changes to IdentifyWidget.xml. Identify widget displays the message 'No Results Found'. But if I search for the projects using rectangle tool of the Search Widget & then then try to identify the projects in the 'Search' window, identify tool works. I've attached a screen-snapshot of it.

Rosy,

Iam still not sure what you are doing wrong. As you saw I had no issue identifying your layers. What does your IdentifyWidget.xml look like now?

GISSalem
