It can be cumbersome to do, but it is possible.  I have basemap caches in "Web Mercator" projection (wkid 102100) that I use alongside a few of ESRI's basemaps.  We then have a switching function that turns some layers ON/OFF depending upon what basemap is selected in the switcher. I use the "Basemapgallery" and add my basemaps to it.  Part of the basemapgallery code: function createBasemapGallery() { esri.dijit.BasemapGallery.prototype._markSelected = function(basemap) {   if (basemap) {   // unselect all basemap gallery items    dojo.forEach(dojo.query(".esriBasemapGallerySelectedNode", this.domNode), function(node) {     dojo.removeClass(node, "esriBasemapGallerySelectedNode");    });    // select current basemap gallery item    var basemapNode = dojo.byId("galleryNode_" + basemap.id);    if (basemapNode) {     dojo.addClass(basemapNode, "esriBasemapGallerySelectedNode");    }   } }              var aerial2010Layer = new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({   url : "http://gis.fwb.org/arcgis/rest/services/Maps/AerialFeb2010WebM/MapServer" }); var aerialBasemap = new esri.dijit.Basemap({   layers : [aerial2010Layer],   id : "aerial2010",   title : "Aerial Photo 2010",   thumbnailUrl : "images/basemap_imagery.jpg" }); basemaps.push(aerialBasemap); var wstreetsLayer = new esri.dijit.BasemapLayer({   url : "http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer" }); var wstreetsBasemap = new esri.dijit.Basemap({   layers : [wstreetsLayer],   id : "wstreets",   title : "Streets",   thumbnailUrl : "images/basemap_streets.jpg" }); basemaps.push(wstreetsBasemap);               basemapGallery = new esri.dijit.BasemapGallery({   showArcGISBasemaps : false,   basemaps : basemaps,   map : map }, "basemapGalleryDiv"); selectionHandler = dojo.connect(basemapGallery, "onSelectionChange", changeBasemap); basemapGallery.startup(); } The selection handler in the code above then calls our "changeBasemap" function: function changeBasemap() { basemapsel = basemapGallery.getSelected(); basemapselid = basemapsel.id; if (basemapselid == "aerial2010") {   parcelsLayer.hide();   hydroLayer.hide();   parcelsarLayer.show();   bfpLayer.hide();   roadsLayer.show();   roadnameLayer.show();   map.Refresh(); } if (basemapselid == "wstreets") {   parcelsLayer.hide();   hydroLayer.hide();   parcelsarLayer.show();   bfpLayer.hide();   roadsLayer.show();   roadnameLayer.show();   map.Refresh(); } } The way we have our website organized, I had to declare the map layer names as global variables so they could be called from the function above. Hope this helps 🙂 Luci ... View more

Hey, I think you are trying to use the syntax for javascript api v3.5.  You need to use the syntax from the javascript api v1.6 that you are calling out in your app. http://resources.esri.com/help/9.3/arcgisserver/apis/javascript/arcgis/help/jsapi_start.htm This code worked in your app: symbol = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol('http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Basic/YellowStickpin.png', 24, 24); Hope this helps!

Hi Jamal, 1.  Unfortunately, No, I do not know of a method to change more than one at a time from Geometry to SDEBinary. 2.  No, I dont think that having the versions remain will slow it down to much.  I have only experienced lag when we have had major edit sessions and over 100,000 features were changed.  As soon as we reconciled, posted, and compressed everything sped back up.  We just have everyone delete their version at the end of the day so we know they have done the reconcile and post to our QC version.  If someone wants a version to do what-if scenarious that will not be posted to Default then we allow that one to remain. 3.  I dont see a problem with doing it daily.  We are probably smaller than most GIS departments and just find that end of week works for us.  Good Luck!

Hey Matt, You pointed me in the right direction.  What I ended up doing is adding this to my css file: .simpleGeocoder .esriGeocoderResults { position:relative; } Now the results show up in the right place 🙂 Thanks! Luci ... View more

Hey Jamal, We thought about going back to a file geodatabase but decided against it.  Some of our users wanted to be able to do tasks in our web app which would require a feature layer.  Because feature layers are only supported through SQL, we would have had a portion of our data in a SQL GDB and a portion in a file GDB and that would have been too much to maintain.  So far we are happy with the speed we achieved just by changing the spatial data type from Geometry to SDEBinary. We have an end of the day cleanup where all users reconcile/post and remove their versions.  The data is then QC'd, reconcile/post to Default, Synchronized and the geodatabase is compressed.  We Analyze about once a week.  Having a good cleanup routine definitely helps with the speed of the geodatabase. Good Luck! Luci ... View more

I was using layerName because I couldnt figure out how to distinguish between layer DEEDS which is 0 in mapservice1 and layer Parcels which is 0 is mapservice2?  My array using just the layerIds would look like:  [0,1,0,1,0,2,0,1,2,3,4,0,1,2,3,4,5]; Thanks!  Luci ... View more

Hey, I have an array built (identLayers) with the layerNames of all of the layers from the 10 or more map services that I want people to be able to query popup information for. I need to be able to take the results of the map click and only produce the popup for the layers that are visible AND whose layerName appears in the array. I tried plugging it into the statement that you added below and it did not work. for ( i = 0; i < tasks.length; i++) {//Use 'for' instead of 'for...in' so you can sync tasks with defTasks  try {     idParams.layerIds = identLayers; 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  }  } This is part of my array code: function addIdentMaps() {  //push layers to identify array  identLayers.push({  layerName : 'DEEDS'  });  identLayers.push({  layerName : 'Parcels'  });  identLayers.push({  layerName : 'ORDINANCES'  });  identLayers.push({  layerName : 'RESOLUTIONS'  });  identLayers.push({  layerName : 'EASEMENT_Disclaimer'  }); Thanks!

I saw those and they would work if my layers were all in 1 map service.  I have over 10 different map services that I need to provide popup information for.  The problem is my identify tool returns a popup for map services that I do not want to show information for.  For example, I do not want popups for my city limits, hydrography, roadways, etc. but since they are visible they are selected when I use LAYER_OPTION_VISIBLE.  I want to filter the results from LAYER_OPTION_VISIBLE against an array I have of layer names.  Only those that are in my array should show up in a popup if they are visible.  I am a noob and hack at best so any help would be greatly appreciated 🙂 Thanks, Luci ...

Awesome!  It worked like a charm, Thank you Jian!  Luci ... View more

Hi, I am trying to implement this in my code and I have 10 templates.  What is the correct method for doing that?  I have tried: dojo.connect(printer, "onPrintStart", function(){   printTitlep = document.getElementById("printTitle").value;         this.templates([0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]).layoutOptions.titleText = printTitlep;       }); and I get the error: TypeError: this.templates is not a function Thanks, Luci ...
