I'm looking to build a new application that allows staff to edit a service/layer. They will be inputting new survey benchmark data based on lat/long. All of the current samples I have seen on the ESRI site show the editing done by clicking a point on a map and then populating the fields in the popup. My goal would be to input the fields first and then have the app recognize the x,y and draw new point. This would eliminate the error of the spot being clicked not actually being the correct coordinates. Also, they will be doing the input at the office, so enabling GPS or similar in the app won't be helpful. Does anybody know of a sample or way to do this? ... View more

I'm getting a very generic error when trying to customize the Popup Widget code. So far all I've done is try to insert my service in place of the sample service and adjusted the extent. Here is a link My service doesn't load and I get an "unable to complete operation" error any help appreciated. also, the Popup Widget sample doesn't seem to actually load any features that generate a popup. Is this a bug? ... View more

I am creating an application that will be editable by select internal users but publically accessible to everybody. Is the best practice to serve up identical services (one publically viewable and one privately viewable)? Or is there a way to only use 1 service and have the the editor widget only viewable by those with the proper credentials? I am using windows authentication to control the users, so hopefully this can be done without an additional sign on in the app, similar to the Identity Manager, but if thats the best way, we will go with it. ...

I'm trying to disable popups while I am performing a buffer task, but can't seem to get it right. Reading the documentation I would think that using something like popup.hide(); would work, but that isn't hiding anything. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? ... View more

A few print related questions: 1. Is it possible to show the legend on a printout if I'm using the AGSJS TOC widget? Setting legendLayers doesn't seem to work, which I assume is because I'm not using it anywhere else in my app. 2. Is it possible to remove the credits from the printout? I'm using v3.2. The template mxd doesn't reference them. 3. Finally, How do I capture the same extent of my map in my printout? It looks like the map is displaying at the same extent, but the print area is smaller than my screen, so that may be the issue. How can I get the print to look exactly like the screen? I've tried preserveScale at both true and false and the result is the same. Code: dojo.require("esri.dijit.Print"); function initPrinter() { var printTemplates = [{   label: "Map Only",   format: "png32",   layout: "MAP_ONLY",   exportOptions: {     width: map.width,     height: map.height,     dpi: 96   }    }, {   label: "Portrait",   format: "PDF",   layout: "Letter ANSI A Portrait",   layoutOptions: {     titleText: "my layout",     authorText: "GIS Team",     copyrightText: "Copyright 2013",     scalebarUnit: "Miles"   }   }, {   label: "Landscape",   format: "PDF",   layout: "Letter ANSI A Landscape",   layoutOptions: {    titleText: "my layout",    authorText: GIS Team",    copyrightText: "Copyright 2013",    scalebarUnit: "Miles"    }    }]; // print dijit var printer = new esri.dijit.Print({   map: map,   templates: printTemplates,   url: "path/to/my/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task"   }, dojo.byId("printButtonDiv"));   printer.startup();   } ...

Is there a way to turn off popups for only certain layers? My app loops through the visible layers and returns a popup for each. Some of the layers only show boundaries, so I don't need anything to be created for it. the loop: function initIdentifies(map) {         idParams = new esri.tasks.IdentifyParameters();                 idParams.tolerance = 5;                 idParams.returnGeometry = true;                 idParams.layerOption = esri.tasks.IdentifyParameters.LAYER_OPTION_VISIBLE;                 dojo.connect(map, "onClick", runIdentifies);             }             function runIdentifies(evt) {                 var layers = dojo.map(map.layerIds, function(layerId) {                     return map.getLayer(layerId);                 }); //Create an array of all layers in the map                 layers = dojo.filter(layers, function(layer) {                     return layer.getImageUrl && layer.visible;                 }); //Only dynamic layers have the getImageUrl function. Filter so you only query visible dynamic layers                 var tasks = dojo.map(layers, function(layer) {                     return new esri.tasks.IdentifyTask(layer.url);                 }); //map each visible dynamic layer to a new identify task, using the layer url                 var defTasks = dojo.map(tasks, function (task) {                     return new dojo.Deferred();                 }); //map each identify task to a new dojo.Deferred                 var dlTasks = new dojo.DeferredList(defTasks); //And use all of these Deferreds in a DeferredList                 dlTasks.then(IDResults); //chain IDResults onto your DeferredList                 idParams.width = map.width;                 idParams.height = map.height;                 idParams.geometry = evt.mapPoint;                 idParams.mapExtent = map.extent;                 for (i=0;i<tasks.length;i++) { //Use 'for' instead of 'for...in' so you can sync tasks with defTasks                     try {                         tasks.execute(idParams, defTasks.callback, defTasks.errback); //Execute each task                     } catch (e) {                         console.log("Error caught");                         console.log(e);                         defTasks.errback(e); //If you get an error for any task, execute the errback                     }                 }             } How I built my popups: function IDResults(r) {                 var results = [];                 r = dojo.filter(r, function (result) {                     return r[0];                 }); //filter out any failed tasks                 for (i=0;i<r.length;i++) {                     results = results.concat(r[1]);                 }                 results = dojo.map(results, function(result) {             var feature = result.feature;             feature.attributes.layerName = result.layerName;             if(result.layerName === 'Zoning Classifications'){               console.log(feature.attributes.NAME);               var template = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate({        title:"Zoning",        description:"<b>Zoning:</b> {Zoning Classification} <br/> <b>Description:</b> {Zoning Description}"        });               feature.setInfoTemplate(template);             }             else if (result.layerName === 'Assisted Living Facilities'){               var template = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate({        title:"Assisted Living Facilities",        description:"<b>Parcel ID:</b> {Parcel} <br/> <b>Applicant:</b> {BusinessApplicantName} <br/> <b>No. of Residents</b> {NbrResidents}"        });               feature.setInfoTemplate(template);             }       else if (result.layerName === 'Family Divisions'){               var template = new esri.dijit.PopupTemplate({        title:"Family Divisions",        description:"<b>Parcel ID:</b> {Parcel} <br/> <b>Project Number:</b> {project_nbr} </br> <b>Status:</b> {Status}"        });               feature.setInfoTemplate(template);             } return feature; if(results.length === 0) {                     map.infoWindow.clearFeatures();                 } else {                     map.infoWindow.setFeatures(results);                 }                 map.infoWindow.show(idParams.geometry);                 return results;             } ...
