However, if you use the actual FIND TOOL (the Binos) (as I WILL be doing) you'll get the entire list. I have a similar situation but I am not getting multiple candidates either even on the find tool. I have  a parcel layer and I am trying to use single field on parcel id to create a locator. It's has parcel 2 id fields with 1-n relationship, one is polygon id(1), another is tax id (N) and the layer is joined with both id in the attributes. In a condo case, there will be multiple records with same poly id but different tax id. I tried different combinations including using one id as key and the other as alternate name, or alias table, so the user can enter either polygon id or tax id to get a location. It works, but the problem is that it does not return multiple candidates when the polygon id is entered. It only returns one, and seems randomly pick one out of the list. For example, there is a parcel polygon id ABC, and it related to 2 tax id A01 and A02. When user enters ABC, it should return both as candidate, but it only returns one with score 100. I have altered using either one as key field, but get basically same result. Maybe I should instruct the locator return multiple candidates even it's score as 100? How? ... View more

Sure ... Here it is: http://gis.idaho.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/IdahoParcels/MapServer/export?bbox=-13111521.4096355,5227490.01628827,-12327648.1490388,5861903.93435771 I see a little black box in the upper left corner.  Do you? You arcgis server's URL should be configed to external URL not your internal server name (adm-magellan) , otherwise it only works inside your network even server name is correct. Do that in ArcCatalog. ... View more

It is not easy, if not impossible, to intercept the event firing sequence in BasemapGallery's private methods. As a result, the Google maps can only be loaded upon the first public event "onSelectionChange" is fired, which means they can not be automatically loaded. However, you can assign it an ID and manually load it. You may need to put your default basemap as first entry in the list to have consistent UI.               var basemaps = [];               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   type: 'GoogleMapsHybrid'                 })],                 title: "Google Hybrid",                id:'GoogleHybrid',                 thumbnailUrl: dojo.moduleUrl("agsjs.dijit", "images/googlehybrid.png")               })); ... then               basemapGallery.startup();              basemapGallery.select('GoogleHybrid');               Example: http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/agsjs/examples/manualgallery.html ...

Chris, The new gmapsggalley (1.7)  example is great but how do I go about building a manual version of the gallery to only show the 3 Google Basemaps, ESRI Street,ESRI Topo and ESRI Grey with Reference ? Something like that:               var basemaps = [];               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   url: "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer"                 })],                 title: "Esri Street",                 thumbnailUrl: "http://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items/b165c3df453e4be6b5ac4fdb241effbe/info/thumbnail/delorme_base_map.jpg"               }));               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   url: "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Topo_Map/MapServer"                 })],                 title: "Esri Topo"               }));               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   url: "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Canvas/World_Light_Gray_Base/MapServer"                  }), new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   url: "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Canvas/World_Light_Gray_Reference/MapServer",                  isReference:true                })],                 title: "Esri Grey with Label"               }));                             basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   type: 'GoogleMapsRoad'                 })],                 title: "Google Maps",                 thumbnailUrl: dojo.moduleUrl("agsjs.dijit", "images/googleroad.png")               }));               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   type: 'GoogleMapsSatellite'                 })],                 title: "Google Satellite",                 thumbnailUrl: dojo.moduleUrl("agsjs.dijit", "images/googlesatellite.png")               }));               basemaps.push(new esri.dijit.Basemap({                 layers: [new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({                   type: 'GoogleMapsHybrid'                 })],                 title: "Google Hybrid",                 thumbnailUrl: dojo.moduleUrl("agsjs.dijit", "images/googlehybrid.png")               }));                             var basemapGallery = new esri.dijit.BasemapGallery({                 showArcGISBasemaps: false,                 basemaps: basemaps,                 googleMapsApi: {                   v: 3.6                 },                 map: map               }, "basemapGallery");               basemapGallery.startup(); ...

Where is this Manual Mode property you're referring to?  I don't see it on the Basemap, BasemapLayer, or BasemapGallery classes. There is no "manual mode" per se, I was referring to the manual sample for the API, in which you create an array and add basemaps to it in code. How (and where) do you use multiple URLs?  The BasemapLayer's url parameter is expecting a string, not an array or something. Basemap accepts multiple BasemapLayers. Because they are two separate services and must both be added to the map, that workaround is the best solution I currently have. you can mix-and-match different services(BasemapLayer) to create a "Basemap". If you want have label layer turned on/off inside the gallery, check out this sample: http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/agsjs/1.07/examples/gmapsgallery.html Also, I'd rather handle the maintenance of this list within the code, rather than go out to Arcgis.com and create a group, should I ever need to change it.  Don't really want to rely on another resource for something I can accomplish in code. I am sure many people will disagree, but do what you feel most comfortable with. ... View more

If you want your own order, it's better to just use manual mode with fixed order. To deal with reference layers, use multiple URL and set the reference=true flag. Using your workaround is kind of risky. Since Esri may change the default gallery, you may end up different type of reference layer, or your hard-coded basemap just completely gone. Use a user group as Kelly suggested may help in some extent, but unlikely for Esri's basemaps. The gallery order is decided by a attributed called "name" (as of v2.6), which is not available for user editing. The value is null for non-Esri basemaps, which translated to "undeterministic". Esri's basemap have pre-set "names" via other methods (likely via non-public API). If you see the default gallery order changed, chances are those "name" attributes were changed in the map item, then the order will change in your user group as well. ... View more

Does anybody know if I can read a SOAP end point of a feature service using the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API? Or does it only works with the service's REST end point? You can try: https://cwiki.apache.org/CXF20DOC/javascript-clients.html However, a more realistic approach is probably write a server piece that talks to SOAP end and then output result as JSON with callback. ...

Steven, Try this example: http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/agsjs/1.07/examples/gmapsgallery.html The google maps are at end of the available list. ... View more

True, but the user get a slightly different user experience, and it's not subject to the basemapGallery add/remove behavior. For now, I'll use Fiddle to get the same result until the API is available. ... View more

No it is not supported by Esri. It's just a lib in the code gallery, just like the old arcscripts stuff. Normally you need to dig out into the code if it is not work straight for you. ... View more
