eSearch - how to view attachments in popup?

[MegPeterson]

I have a point feature class with related attachements (photos) in a gdb. I'd like to view these in the popup associated with the eSearch widget, but I'm not sure how to configure the .xml. (I don't see any tags in the xml help configuration document.)

I tried <showattachments>true</showattachments> for my layer in the .xml, but no luck.

I'm also not sure what the tag <queryattachments> does....

Appreciate any help pointing me in the right direction!

Sleuthing away --

I just added <queryattachments>true</queryattachments> to my layer tag after finding this function in the eSearch.mxml:


private function configurePopUpInfo(links:Array):EnhancedPopUpInfo
   {
    var popUpInfo:EnhancedPopUpInfo = new EnhancedPopUpInfo;
    popUpInfo.title = "{title}";
    popUpInfo.description = "{content}";
    if(queryAttachments){
     popUpInfo.showAttachments = true;
    }

And I'm still out of luck.

Maybe something to do with the link tag and CDATA info? I was able to get the photo icon to load, but not able to see a thumbnail simialr to the Traffic Cameras example.

Meg,

   It seems like I forgot to document this feature alltoghter... Well you are half way there all you need to do is add the object id field to the list of fields.

                <field name="objectid" visible="false" />

Robert,
I am having a similar issues, except I am trying to show the pictures using the <link> tag. I can't get the image to show up in the popup but if i click on the popup box, it takes me straight to the photo.

Is there anyway to get a thumbnail of the photo to show up in that popup? 

Thanks,

Justin,

   As the original posters issue was with attachments (very different that just a link) it would be best that you start your own thread instead of hijacking this one (a lot more detail will help also).

[MegPeterson]

Hi Robert - Thanks for the response and updating the documentation.  I'm still a little stuck.

I added the 'OBJECTID_1' field as you suggested above and have queryattachments set to True.  (OBJECTID_1 is the field that seems to be linked to my attachments in the gdb). See the attached image. And the OBJECTID field didn't work.

I'm still getting the "No attachments" text and no thumbnails in the popup.

Any other suggestions? thanks, Meg

Meg,

    Have you tried to get query the attachment from the REST Services directory page to make sure that ArcGIS Server is allowing access to your attachments?

[MegPeterson]

Yes I can see the image when I query in REST and the pop up works when I use the standard ESRI popupconfig option in the config.xml (but I like your tool better):

<layer label="Cultural Resources" type="dynamic" visible="true" alpha="1"
                   url="http://pogis/ArcGIS/rest/services/LiveMaps_v10/CultRes_MegTest_Attach/MapServer">
                <sublayer id="0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CultRes_Points.xml"/>
                <sublayer id="1" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CultRes_Lines.xml"/> 
                <sublayer id="2" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CultRes_Area.xml"/> 
                <sublayer id="3" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_CultRes_SiteAreas.xml"/>     
            </layer>

Both screenshots attached (though obviously my cat is not a cultural resource but a placeholder....). Thanks.

Meg,

   I don't see where I asked what version of my eSearch widget you are using... Lets make sure you are using a version that supports this ability. When the widget is opened in your viewer hold your alt button and click on the widgets title and tell me what the dialog that pops up says.
