Well- the symbol sets were available through ESRI's site as recently as 6 months - 1 year ago (I had to track down the Oregon shields). I cannot find them now, even through Melita's link. I was able to track down a copy of the California shields on another website. You can find it here. ESRI- please stop monkeying around with your websites. This what happens. Less documentation, less downloads, but, hey- we now have a flat, modern looking design! ... View more

I would imagine only for testing and proof of concept. Any production application would have to use ESRI's paid routing service. ... View more

Within my organization, we have two ArcGIS Server installs- one internal development server and a second which serves up public facing data and apps. Both installs use the default ESRI web adaptor. I have publishing rights to the internal development server but not the public facing instance. As such, I've developed several apps for staff to use within our network. Our IT department used to use a proxy but now uses some sort of 3rd party filtering service. I think the answer regarding self hosting the API vs ESRI's CDN largely depends on what your staff are generally allowed to do. Can they freely access the internet during their normal duties or is their work environment completely isolated? If it's isolated, I don't think you have much choice other than hosting the API yourself. If the staff can access the web from their machines, I think hitting ESRI's CDN is the way to go. That way, you're not responsible for making sure the ESRI code base is current. As for the location of the code, I do what you described- I created folders on the ArcGIS Server machine in it's c:\intepub\wwwroot folder so the app is accessed via http:\\<server name>\<app folder> ...

I'd say not without doing some work on your own. I think you'd have to utilize a custom function to format the infoWindow's contents and use JS code to evaluate whether or not to show a given field. Something kind of like this:         template = new InfoTemplate();         template.setContent(SetPopupInfo);     function SetPopupInfo(graphic) {         //Function to compile the information to present in a feature identify window         var fullAttr = graphic.attributes;         var content;         content = '<table width=\"100%\"><tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">Road Name:</td><td style=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">' + fullAttr.rdName + '</td></tr>';         if (fullAttr.status == 'CLOSED') {             content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">Status:</td><td style=\"color:red;font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">' + fullAttr.status + '</td></tr>';         } else {             content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">Status:</td><td style=\"color:green;font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">' + fullAttr.status + '</td></tr>';         }         content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Start of Closure:</td><td style=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">' + fullAttr.cl_Start + '</td></tr>';         content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">End of Closure:</td><td style=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">' + fullAttr.cl_End + '</td></tr>';         if (fullAttr.status == 'CLOSED') {             content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Closure Date:</td><td style=\"3padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top">' + formatDate(adjClosureDate) + ' @ ' + adjClosureTime + '</td></tr>';         } else {             content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Closure Date:</td><td style=\"3padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top">' + formatDate(adjClosureDate) + ' @ ' + adjClosureTime + '</td></tr>';             content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top\">Date Re-opened:</td><td style=\"3padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px;vertical-align:top">' + formatDate(adjOpenDate) + ' @ ' + adjOpenTime + '</td></tr>';         }         content = content + '<tr><td style=\"font-weight:bold;padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">Reason:</td><td tyle=\"padding-left:3px;padding-right:3px\">' + fullAttr.reason + '</td></tr></table>';         return content;     } As you can see, the value of the attribute field STATUS dictates what and how something is shown in the infoWindow. ...

Thanks, Robert, but am I missing something? The user still has to click on an item in the TemplatePicker in order to select anything in the picker. For context, I'm trying to hide the editor in plain sight. Most users of the application will just view the content but I want a few people to have the ability to edit/add additional features. To accomplish this, I decided to take the legend  in my app (which is a series of JPEG images for the various feature types): ..and add a listener event so that people who "know" can click (or shift-click, etc) on the JPEG and that would select that feature type from the templatePicker and allow the user to sketch the feature on the map. I suppose you can dig waaaaay deep to get at the template by something like widget.params.featureLayers .types .templates[0] but, ugh. It's probably just easier to keep a series of variables with default values, add a generic feature using the editor, and auto-populate fields when committing the feature to the featureLayer. ...

Maybe that's it. That's the look I had in mind as a part of my Cascading Story. Thanks again. ... View more

Owen Evans So I tried this but I don't think this is what I was seeing. The media option inserts an image/map as an item but it is center justified in the body, and you can't have text off on one side or the other. Hmm. Maybe what I saw was the immersive option but when I use it, the background of the text box has a transparency which doesn't seem enough. I'd like a text background with no transparency. ...

Speaking of Cascade Story Maps and titles, will there be an option to adjust the font size used for the title? I like my title but it's a little wordy so it's huge on the screen. ... View more

Thanks, Adrian. I think the tabbed map sounds like a great option for what I want to accomplish. ... View more

I wonder if you have to use watch as explained in this thread. It's not exactly what you're trying to do but it is responding after a given event so it might still be applicable. ... View more

Thanks, Owen. That might be it. I think I've been too focused on the "Immersive" option instead of the "Media" option. I'll give that a try. ... View more
