I have a pop up configured in a web map that links to pdfs. Click the link, pdf displays. All good. However, the link in the pop up is 'More Info'. I'd like it to display the actual link, i.e. http://somesite/somepdf.pdf while still linking.Is this possible, and if so, how? Thanks. ... View more

I have a tool where I'm trying to do some script validation. The user selects a data frame from a map as the first parameter, self.params[0] (works fine), and then should select a layer from the layers in that data frame. However, I can't get the second parameter to populate based just on the selected dataframe. The code below doesn't throw an error, but returns an empty list, and thus no layers to select. I've tried several variations on this, and the only one that works at all returns all layers in the mxd, not just the ones in the data frame. This seems like it should be simple, but I'm missing something. Any ideas? Thanks. def initializeParameters(self):     """Refine the properties of a tool's parameters.  This method is     called when the tool is opened.     Populates data frame parameter with data frames in map and disables other     parameters.     """     try:   # this works         mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')         dflist = [df.name for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd)]         self.params[0].filter.type = "ValueList"         self.params[0].filter.list = dflist         del mxd     except:         arcpy.AddError("\nMust run this tool in ArcMap, not ArcCatalog")     self.params[1].enabled = False     self.params[2].enabled = False     return   def updateParameters(self):     """Modify the values and properties of parameters before internal     validation is performed.  This method is called whenever a parameter     has been changed."""     mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument('CURRENT')     if self.params[0].value:         self.params[1].enabled = True         # this does not work the way I want         layerList = [lyr.name for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, self.params[0].value) if not lyr.isGroupLayer]         uniqueList = list(set(layerList))         uniqueList.sort()         self.params[1].filter.type = "ValueList"         self.params[1].filter.list = uniqueList‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I have the following code that I want to use to access a secured arc rest api site and query a layer to return the data in json. I can do this manually by going to the rest site in a browser, signing in, and using the query page to return data. And the code below (mostly copied from the web) works on non secured sites, without username and password. But when I try to access the site using the password, I get the error: RuntimeError: RecordSetObject: Cannot open table for Load   How can I do log in programmatically to get this data? Thanks.     baseURL = "http://company/arcgis/rest/services/Maps/CityMapServer/6/query"     where = "1=1"     fields = "*"     user = "user"     password = "pass"     query = "?where={}&outFields={}&returnGeometry=true&f=json&auth=({},{})".format(where, fields, user, password)     fsURL = baseURL + query     fs = arcpy.FeatureSet()     fs.load(fsURL) ...

I have a script that adds layer files to a map and optionally saves it. If the map is open, I just reference the map like normal, i.e. mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT"). I'd like to be able to check whether the map is open in the first place, so I can reference the map through a parameter if it isn't. What I've come up with so far is to use a try/except block to catch the runtime error generated if the mxd is not open, then set it to a default if so. Is there a way to check if the map is open or not? Thanks. ... View more

Pretty much what the post title says. I have some python scripts which require background processing to be enabled, other disabled. I know this can be set in tool properties, but these are just stand alone scripts. Haven't been able to find any info one way or the other. Thanks. ... View more
