Preview of two great new widgets coming out mid January 2011

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

I have been working hard on two great new widgets that I want you to preview. The final versions will be made available Mid January 2011 and submitted to the Flex a Widget competition.

http://www.esri.com/events/devsummit/get-involved/widget-challenge.html

The first is a new route widget for FlexViewer 2.2

Its' feature include:

Up to ten stops that can be added to the map interactively or by single line address matching using Bing geocoder.
Up to ten point barriers that can be added in the same fashion as stops.
Interactively added stops and barriers are automatically reverse geocoded.
You can calculate by time or distance and optionally use best sequence.
Route segments can be individually clicked in the directions list and visualized using a polyline animation (Thanks to Mark Deaton).
The big deal for this widget is its' printing capability. Both direct printer output and PDF output are supported. Multi page output with headers and footers and the option to include the large route image are all included. The individual direction segments have maneuver arrows that are included by default but can optionally be turned off. Things like configuring alternating directions background color can also be configured.

So if you are a developer and don't care about routing but want to know how to do moderately advanced multi page printing and AlivePDF techniques than this widget is for you.

Preview here:
http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer2.2/index.html?config=config-route.xml

The second one is a new infoTemplate for featurelayers.

The Attachment Relate Info Window Widgets' features include:

Ability to specify which fields are displayed
Specify one link field that will display as a clickable text or an actual image in the info window
Buttons at the bottom of the window for Zooming to feature, querying attachments, querying related features or tables
Attachments are preview only and are displayed in a custom grid popup not the standard attachment inspector.
Relates are initially displayed in a grid that allows for the selection of which related feature you want to preview and then when you choose the one you want to see then a floating datagrid is displayed with the related records.

In the examples below click on the point in the screen.

Zach,

If you use the actual field names in the fields list for the xml and specify the layername then the alias from the mxd will be used automatically if they are specified in the geodatabase.

Hi,

Is it possible to display the url for the related table in the Relates Window?

Cheers,

Shannaka

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shannaka,

Not sure I understand the question can you be more specific?

Hello,

Many thanks for the Attachment Relate Info Window Widget. As usual, when I start to look for info on a widget, you have it here.

As I am still relativley new to Flex, I was wondering about selection options for the relate widget. Is it possible to edit the code and be able to select more than one point, or parcel in my case, and have all the relate results show and made available for export? Either by clicking on more than one point, or draw a polygon around them?

Regards,

Harold

Hello Robert,
Does the Identify widget version 2.2.2 support layers published
from Arc Server 9.31? I am guessing it doesn't, I can not get
the popup window to display my field information.

Does the widget work with feature layers only?

Thanks,
Melissa

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Harold,

The code would take serious reworking to accomplish this... That type of change is not on my radar.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Melissa,

This is probably a name issue...

The Identify widget version 2.2.2 not discussed or described in this thread does support ArcGIS Server 9.3.

The Attachment Relate Info Window does only support Feature Type Layers. But don't get that confused with a FeatureService that in new to ArcGIS Server 10. A FlexViewer layer of type feature can be pointing to a standard MapService.

ShannakaBeveridge

Shannaka,

Not sure I understand the question can you be more specific?

Sorry, I meant the URL to the ArcGIS Server REST resource. Is it possible to display this in the Relates Window?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shannaka,

If you are using the source code version I could give you some code to do this, but if you are using the compiled version than the answer would be no.

ShannakaBeveridge

I am using the source code. I don't even need it to be displayed in fact, just need a string that contains the url of the selected table. Thank you for your help!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shannaka,

I am on my way to the developer summit in California, but I will put something together soon. Are you thinking a public variable that you can call from in this widgets code or what are you thinking.

ShannakaBeveridge

Shannaka,

I am on my way to the developer summit in California, but I will put something together soon. Are you thinking a public variable that you can call from in this widgets code or what are you thinking.

Yes, I'm thinking a public variable that can be called within the widgets code.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shannaka,

Here is what I can up with:

public var selRelateURL:String;
//Then add this line to the closeRelateWindow after the flyToSearch is set
selRelateURL = flyToSearch.url.substring(0,flyToSearch.url.lastIndexOf("/")) + "/" + (rWindow.selectedRelateId - 1);

ShannakaBeveridge

Thank you!

(rWindow.selectedRelateId - 1) gave me the url for the selected feature rather than the related table. I added the following in RelatesWindow and used (rWindow.selectedTableId) to get the number of the selected table instead.

public function get selectedTableId():Number
   {
    return _rTableId;
   }

   protected function relateGrid_itemClickHandler(event:ListEvent):void
   {
    _rId = event.target.selectedItem.id;
    _rName = event.target.selectedItem.name;
    _rTableId = event.target.selectedItem.relatedTableId;

MarcCavallaro

Robert, Great stuff!

I've successfully enabled both the Attachment Relate Info Window Widget and the Enhanced Search Widget. They both work really well. Is it possible to get them to work together?

Right now the eSearch Widget is using the InfoPopupWidget. I've tried changing the SearchWidget.xml to point to the AttRelateInfoWinWidget.swf and it half worked. The info window had all the right buttons but no text and the buttons didn't work. What am I missing?

Thanks!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

mscavallaro,

No I don't think that they can be used together. The Attachment Relate Info Window Widget requires a feature layer to work and the eSearch does not have that requirement. I have not actually tried to use them together as you are though. I guess technically if you only have type = "feature" layers specified in your SearchWidget.xml than I could work....

Robert,

Do you know the results of the flex-a-widget challenge? I'm assuming you were at the summit.

Andy

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andrew the winners are:

1. Frank Roberts: Street View and More �?? Widget for FlexViewer 2.*
2. Sasa I. : Export To Shapefile (AS3 Shapefile Writing Library)
3. Andrew McNaughton : Google Street View Widget for the Flexviewer

Congrats man!

andrewj_ca

Thanks Robert,

I was just looking at your Weather widget wondering why you didn't enter that in the challenge. I think it's pretty slick and will be adapting it for my non SFV based flex applications. Well done.

Hi Robert,

I have a problem that I am hoping that you�??ll be able to help me with. First, I really appreciate your identify widget. It is a fantastic tool, with exactly the functionality that I am looking for. Also, please know that your tremendous support for this tool is very much appreciated.

Initially, I want to use the tool for a very simple popup window with a hyperlink. Eventually, I want to use the full functionality of the tool. As a starting point, using the sample data provided, I simplified the tool through modifications to the config-infoimage.xml and IWT_Cameras.xml files for the AttRelateInfoWinWidget and the Louisville/LOJIC_PublicSafety_Louisville data. Everything worked as expected. After that, while trying to use my own data, I am totally stuck. I have scoured this formum as well as many of the other forums and have found some great information but I still can�??t get past my problem.

I am unable to get the widget to operate with my operationallayers layer. The basemap comes up fine but the operational layer does not display. If I use the operational layer as a basemap it will display find so I know the server is publishing the data properly.

I am using ArcGIS Server 10
Identify widget 2.2.1
The ArcGIS viewer code
Flash builder 4
I have implemented crossdomain.xml on the server
I am working from my Home Computer accessing the server data
I have republished my data in a file geodatabase rather than a shapefile
My operational layer is in the same coordinate system as the base layer

Your help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

Follow-up.....

I changed the type to: type="feature" as dynamic is not a supported type for operationalvlayers.... still no love

sam

JasonNielsen

Your service seems to work correctly. I noticed in your .xml for the identify your layer name is incorrect. The name of your Layer is "Stations". Just change this

<layername>Water Gauges</layername>

<layername>Stations</layername>

I think that should fix your problem you were having.

Thanks Jason.....

My assumption was that the <layername> had to match the layer label in the config.xml......

My bad.....

However, I tried resetting the <layername> as you suggested and still no love. Is there a chance my server is not publishing "feature" type correctly?

I believe the widget is firing as the mousue icon does change from a standard arrow to a hand

Any ideas?

Sam

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Sam,

So here is the run down.

1. Change the layer name back to:

<layername>Water Gauges</layername>

2. Leave the type as feature in the main config.xml.

3. Your operational layers are inside the basemap element and that is incorrect they should be a child of map not basemaps.

Robert,

Thank you so much!

What should have been an obvious thing turned into many hours for me. You have my deep gratitude.

It works! Fantastic wizard and again thank you for providing all of your support to all of us out here in GIS-land. I will rate the wizard.

Robert,

Great widget! I have some questions and thoughts for future updates......

1) Instead of having to click the 'Done' button to open a related table could it be made to open with a double click?

2) Resize-able window that contains the list of related tables...

3) I could not find anywhere in your code about how it alphabetizes the fields in related tables - I would prefer to disable this feature.

4) Keep the window with the related tables open even once a table is selected. I have numerous tables to access and it would be nice not to have to re-enter this window each time...

5) Is it possible to include fields from a related table in the little pop-up that appears when you click on a feature. If this was possible it would greatly reduce the need/dependency to access related tables over and over...

Just some thoughts.....

Once again, you have created a great tool(s) and I, along with everyone else I'm sure, truly appreciates your continued effort..

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting this to work with the query widget. It gets a heading for the info window but none of the fields and no relates or attachments are shown. I've set the info template <info>widgets/InfoTemplates/AttRelateInfoWinWidget.swf</info> in the query .xml and the info config file in the mxml:

var data:Object =
                        {
                            id: String(this.widgetId),
                            url: infoUrl,
                            config: "widgets/InfoTemplates/IWT_Projects.xml"
                        };

The info config file works on the layer if I use it without the query widget. Has anyone tried this and got it to work or know of any reason why this wouldn't work?

Cheers,

Shannaka

Can you export to an .MXD and open in ArcMap?

Shannaka,

There is an overall Query widget bug that the viewer team is aware of. But I am not sure if that is what you are running into or not. My info window is meant to be used with a feature layer and not as the info window of some other widget like the searchWidget or queryWidget, so that may be your issue.

Wow... you have me completely lost with your question. Please elaborate fully.
