Identify Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎09-23-2010

All,

I have been waiting for the Final release of the FlexViewer 2.1 before I started to push out some widgets I have been working on.

Here is my Identify Widget for Flex Viewer 2.1. I have tested to ensure proper functioning with FlexViewer 2.1 and am now releasing it to you since the API Team did not get one into the FlexViewer.

Here is the link:

More FlexViewer 2.1 widgets to come stay tuned...

Hello,

Has anyone utilized this function in a flex project that is not based on the FlexViewer 2.1?

I have an existing flex project where it seems this would save me a lot of work if I can use it without dependencies on the FlexViewer.

Thank you to all!

Sincerely,

Travis,

What geometry type is the Cadastre map service layer? For testing can you add another field to your fields element, like LEGAL_AREA,SOME_OTHER_FIELD? This issue is strange and I have not run up against it before.

Still having issues with Identify Widget.

Cadastre layer is a polygon layer, with about 20 different fields and I have tried mupltiple fields/alias.
I have tried point & line layers with no luck.

With a line layer :

config.xml

     <layer label="Roads" type="dynamic" visible="true"                  
  url="http://zzzzzzz/ArcGISServer/rest/services/6126370_Private/Roads_IrisNetworkArc_MRWA_MGA50_201008/MapServer"/>


 <widget label="Identify" left="330" top="80"
                icon="assets/images/i_info.png"
                config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.swf"/>

IdentifyWidget.xml

<configuration>
 <identifylayeroption>visible</identifylayeroption>
 <identifytolerance>5</identifytolerance>
 <defaultzoomscale>5000</defaultzoomscale>
 <keepidentifyactive>true</keepidentifyactive>

 </layers>

</configuration>

Any ideas?

Hi,

I have used Robert's Identify widget in my Flex app, however it is only returning attributes for the first field I define and not the others. Does this make sense? I am a total newbie at this, basically hacking my way through it. Below I have copied the text from my IdentifyWidget.xml. The two layers I have set up the Identify for are Sampling Stations and Classification Areas. The tool works great, but only returns values for the Station_ID field (for the Sampling Stations layer) and Area Classification (for the Classification Areas layer) but no other fields I have defined. I am stumped. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

PS - I am using the uncompiled version 2.1.7 of the Identify widget.

Cary,

The fields specified have to be the aliases of the fields if they have one.

CaryChadwick · ‎12-10-2010

Hi Robert,

Thanks for your super speedy reply. I believe I have indeed specified the field aliases in the <fields> tag.

Below is the info from the REST directory for the Classification Areas layer. Could it be something else? Does it have anything to do with the Display Field?

Carry,

Can you ensure that you are using the latest version?

CaryChadwick · ‎12-10-2010

Hi Robert,

Yes, I'm pretty confident I downloaded version 2.1, it was just within the last month or so and the zip file says 2.1, is there a better way to know for sure? Sorry if that's a stupid question. The map services were created with ArcGIS Server 9.3, would that matter? Again, sorry for being such a neophyte, these forums have really helped me figure this out and 99% of the responses have been from you, so THANK YOU! esri should be sending you a paycheck!

I just noticed 2.2 was released today...does that mean I have to start all over?

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎12-10-2010

Cary,

What I really meant was which version of my widget are you using the latest is 2.1.7. I think I remember where some one was like you using a 9.3 map service and had an issue are you still running ArcGIS Server 9.3?
