Identify Widget 3.1

[GeorgePapamihalakis]

Hi I just added this widget to my Flex - application builder site, and when I click on the icon nothing comes up. Not even an error message. Im sure this is simple, but what could I be missing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

George,

   Are you using Application builder 3.1? Did you upgrade and existing site created in an older version of App Builder?

[GeorgePapamihalakis]

Yes sir. It was an older site I created that I just upgraded to 3.1.

George,

   Can you try an create a brand new site and add the widget and see if it works (I have seen traffic about people having issues with upgrading).

[GeorgePapamihalakis]

Just made a brand new site and added the widget and it works. What do I need to do to make it work with the old one?

Thanks for your help.

I just recreated my old map. I do have another question though, I cant seem to be able to select only certain layers to identify. I removed the default layers, so now all I have is the All Layers selection. Do I need to manually put in all of the layers to Identify?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

George,

   The only layers that appear in the drop down are the ones that you manually configure in the widgets xml

All,

   Version 3.1.4 is now available and is a strongly  recommended update if you use the Identify widget along with other  widgets that add layers to the map.

* 3.1.4    - Fixed a bug when an unsupported layer is encountered in the map an RTE (Runtime Error) occurs.

Hi,

Thanks for this widget. But I don't know if this is an isolated case, I found something a bit puzzling because when I use 'Imagery with Labels' or "Terrain with Labels' in the Featured Basemaps as basemap to my application, the Identify widget suddenly doesn't work (ie, it doesn't do/prompt anything after a selection). Any other basemaps the widget works. Is there a setting to the Identify widget that I am missing? Or is there some conflict somehow with the nature of the aforementioned basemap tiled services? I have set <excludebasemaps> tag to true. Thanks for any insight.

Cheers,

JJ

JJ,

  It has to do with those particular base maps not supporting the identify operation if you look at their REST service directory page all the way at the bottom is the list of supported operations.
Supported Operations:   Export Map   Generate KML for those two notice the absence of Identify

Where the other have it:
Supported Operations:   Export Map   Identify   Find   Generate KML
