Duh, it's working. I bet I wasn't saving the changes after importing the csv with the new relative paths. Sorry to trouble you, Thanks for the tip about bmps. I will convert them.

The readme that comes with the tour map template states that you can use a relative path for PIC_URL, but I can't get this to work. First, if my index.html is at http://localhost:8080/MyTour/ and my image is at http://localhost:8080/MyTour/Images/foo.bmp wouldn't the relative path be ..//Images/foo.bmp? No variant of this that I have tried works including putting foo.bmp in the same folder as index.html and simply supplying foo.bmp, which the readme says you can do. and Second, it would appear that you can't change the PIC_URL value to a relative path once the csv has been uploaded to AGOL and you are, for instance, trying to make this edit when in builder mode. Is that right?

Could someone give me some pointers on how I might add a swipe widget to a map tour template? I am working with the unhosted template files on my own computer and I have fiddled with the swipe widget example in the sandbox enough so that I kind of understand it. But the template is more complex, so as a newb I don't understand exactly where to put the chunks of widget code into my index.html. thanks

Just posted a workaround: http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/32916-Copy-and-Paste-Selected-Table-Rows-in-Standalone-File-Geodatabase-Table?p=331860#post331860

Here's a way to automate Jan's workaround: Open your table. Open the python interpreter window Type in this function >>> def cRows(xTimes): ... for i in range(0, xTimes): ... arcpy.CopyRows_management("tblMyRecords", "tblScratch") ... arcpy.Append_management("tblScratch","tblMyRecords") ... Select a row or the rows you need to copy one or more times and call the function in the python window like this >>> cRows(6) If you need X copies, give the function X - 1; you already have one copy in your table. tblScratch should get written to your default gdb. If the function can't find it, try adding it to your layers. It works inside and outside of an edit session.

Yes!, like Hornbydd says, store it in and read it from the metadata.

When using the Near (Analysis) tool, you can choose to have an angle calculated that is the angle from horizontal (0 being due east) to the line connecting the input feature to the nearest feature. This angle should instead reflect the geographic bearing, or you should have to option to have the angle calculated in either the arithmetic or geographic system.

...because it's not. Isn't it supposed to be able to? The Geoportal Publish Client gives ArcGIS Desktop users the ability to recursively publish metadata documents contained within folders or geo-databases to the geoportal metadata catalog. http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/geoportal/index.php?title=Components

Turns out the answer to my main questions is: not very. I got slightly different versions of Postgres, Apache Tomcat, and the Java JDK than stated in the guide and it all worked out. When I first ran into trouble, my initial thought was that it was because I had not installed the exact recommended versions, but my problems turned out to be fixable, so that wasn't it.

How critical is that you install the EXACT version of the extraneous software listed in Table 1 in the Oct 2012 installation guide? For instance, it says you need to install PostgreSQL version 9.1.5 and all I can find online is the installer for version 9.1.9. Same goes for the other software. The number after the second dot in a version number just indicates, essentially, bug-fix versions, right? Can version mismatch at that level cause problems?

Ok, I am cluing in a bit. I can publish the metadata if I change the Metadata Style in ArcCatalog to 'Item Description'. But I still don't understand why, when the style was set to 'FGDC', that the Publish Client thought the metadata were invalid when the 'offending' elements do, in fact, exist in the xml file. Ultimately, I will want to publish valid FGDC metadata to the Geoportal.

‎09-27-2012

If I log in to my geoportal site as an administrator and manually add an xml metadata file that is residing within a file gdb folder, it validates perfectly and gets uploaded. But if I browse to the gdb in ArcCatalog and use the Publish Client, I get errors that the metadata are not valid. So, why isn't the Publish Client recognizing the metadata even when it shows up correctly in the Description tab and, by inspection, has all of the required elements?

Got it. Badly formed xml. Should have tried to open it in an xml editor long ago.

Using ArcGIS 10.0, Geoportal Server 1.2.2: interactiveMap property in gpt.xml reads: <interactiveMap jsapiUrl="http://serverapi.arcgisonline.com/jsapi/arcgis/?v=2.5" mapServiceUrl=�?�http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/ESRI_Imagery_World_2D/MapServer�?� mapServiceType="dynamic" geometryServiceUrl="http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer" locatorUrl="http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/ESRI_Geocode_USA/GeocodeServer" locatorSingleFieldParameter = "City"/> and when I go to my geoportal page and click search, the map window is empty and all properties of gptMapConfig (except LocaterGraphicURL) are empty. Any ideas?
