This is where the Import fails. Here is the error thrown by Node.js Error: Version length does not match ... View more

Hi Robert, I wanted to run this by you. Do you know what I need to do when I get this error back from Node.js? Duplicate app failed, app name: undefined I seem to be getting this frequently using the Web AppBuilder developer edition 1.2 I am starting Node.js by clicking: C:\Tapas\WAB22\startup.bat I am opening Firefox and entering: http://localhost:3344/webappbuilder This launches the Web AppBuilder developer edition 1.2 There are no errors reported at this stage. So far, so good. Now, I am trying to Duplicate an existing App. I immediately get this error thrown by Node.js Duplicate app failed, app name: undefined It does not matter which App I select to duplicate. They all throw the same error. ... View more

Robert, Thanks a million!! You are the Wizard. If you could force the Field Names in the ESRI Attribute Table to match the Alias Names that I am configuring through your eSearch Config, that would be splendid. In addition, if the fields that are not configured in the eSearch Config, are not displayed in the ESRI Attribute Table, it would be the icing on the cake. This is exactly what I was hoping for. You have came through once again! Looking forward to testing your new version of eSearch ... View more

Hi 2CDSD 2C, You may want to add a Title. Your Title field is blank. See if that makes the Search URL box turn from red to green. Then you can proceed. ... View more

Hi Robert, This has more to do with the default behavior of how Moxie's Team has coded the Attribute Table Widget for the Web AppBuilder. However, I wanted to run this by you anyway to see if you can give us a solution. I am adding my own Field Aliases, and I would like them to show up in the Attribute Table. I am editing the Search Layer = PV Evac Sectors The Name of the field = MILE_ I am entering an Alias Name = Perimeter in Miles When I use your eSearch Widget to select a feature, the Alias Name is honored in the eSearch Popup. This is good. Now I am Enabling the Pop-up option for: Search Results Layer = PV Evac Sectors within the Layer List Widget. When I click on a selection, the Layer List Pop-up also honors the Alias Name. This is great! However, when I Open the Attribute Table from the Layer List choices like so: I see that the Attribute Table does not display my Alias Name = Perimeter in Miles. It shows the Field Name = MILE_ I know that you do not have much control over the ESRI Attribute Table Widget. But is it possible to write a wrapper code so that the Attribute Table is forced to use the Alias Names, rather than the Field Names it is reading from the map service? It would be even better if Moxie's Team changes the code so that the Attribute Table will always display the Alias Name by default. Another enhancement for Moxie's Team would be to hide these fields in the Attribute Table by default OBJECTID SHAPE SHAPE_Length SHAPE_Area The end user seldom needs to see these, and it clutters up the display. In the Flex version, this is not an issue as you have complete control over the Data Grid. The Alias Names are honored in the Data Grid. Also, with the Data Grid in Flex, you had a neat option to display the Sum Total of any column. It is hard to let go of the Flex version. You had tirelessly worked on this platform for more than 6 years and included so many useful enhancements. The Flex version has a slicker look and feels more robust on the desktop environment. Maybe it's just my imagination ... View more

Hi Robert, I am amazed how fast you have been able to port most of the functionality from your Flex Widgets to the Web AppBuilder. This is the Web AppBuilder version using your most recent set of 9 Custom Widgets as of 10/31/2015. Web AppBuilder - Foldable Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app96/ This is the Flex version of the same application using your Custom Widgets for Flex Flex Application - Cobalt Blue Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Desktops/web42/ You have made them close enough in functionality to the point where they are interchangeable. The Web AppBuilder version has the added advantage of running on Tablets and Smartphones that respond to touch sporting a fully responsive design that collapses gracefully to fit the device. It also works on iOS devices where Flash is banned. We were completely at a loss, when support for the Flex API was dropped. You came to the rescue! Nobody else had the knowledge on how to migrate your complex 8000 lines of ActionScript code on your eSearch Widget to make it work within the JavaScript API. I had one request. On the Flex version you had a PointBuffer Widget. It was so easy to drop a few points, enter the buffer distance as a comma separated list, and with one mouse click you got a multi-ring buffer with the option to dissolve them. You could immediately get a visual feedback to see what entities were within the buffer zones. In addition, the output of the PointBuffer Widget could be used as an Input to the Enhanced Search Widget. You could open the Enhanced Search Widget, and within the Graphical Search Tab, the option to use existing buffer graphics would be activated. You could then proceed to set your Search Layer and find for example all the Fire Stations within these buffers. It would be wonderful if you could bring this PointBuffer widget to the Web AppBuilder and tie it to your Enhanced Search Widget. ... View more

Hi Glenn, Yes, I have encountered your problem from time to time. Some of the ESRI basemap thumbnails will show up blank like your screenshot. I had to do a few things to make it work. 1. Clear the browser cache. On Chrome, it is <Shift><Control><Delete> 2. Clean up the hard drive deleting all temporary files with the help of CCleaner from Piriform. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download 3. Start from scratch Start with a fresh download of Web AppBuilder 1.2 C:\arcgis-web-appbuilder-1.2 Create a New Project 4. Switch to a PC with a faster Internet Connection. It helps to have a Download Speed above 10Mbps, and an Upload Speed above 1Mbps ... View more

Hi Robert, I tested out your Enhanced Basemap Gallery Widget 1.2.0.2 with 6 new apps. I also included the most current versions of all your custom widgets as of 10/29/2015. Enhanced Search Widget version 1.2.0.5            10/15/2015 Google Street View Widget 1.2                   08/25/2015 Share Widget 1.2.0.1                                     09/04/2015 Identify Widget 1.2.0.3                         10/23/2015     Elevation Profile Widget 1.2                               08/25/2015 Map Progress Indicator Widget 1.2.0.1             10/23/2015 Enhanced Bookmark Widget 1.2.0.1                         10/23/2015 Enhanced Locate Widget 1.2.0.3                         10/23/2015     I also threw in these 3: Add Service Widget 1.1.3                            06/19/2015 Add Shapefile Widget                                     09/18/2015 Zoom Previous Next Widget 1.1.1                05/13/2015 They are all working well together. Palo Verde – Foldable Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app96 Palo Verde – Launchpad Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app97 Palo Verde – Dart Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app98 Palo Verde – Tab Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app99 Palo Verde – Box Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app100 Palo Verde – Jewelry Box Theme http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app101 There were just a few minor issues: The Basemap Widget header inherits the Style Color only after I open your Identify or Enhanced Search Widget. On the Dart Theme, when you open the Basemap Widget initially, there is some extra space on the top section. When I drag the lower right corner to widen the widget just a little, the spacing becomes perfect. I like how the 2 columns of thumbnails fit the narrower width of the Box Theme. It is a little tricky to use your Enhanced Basemap Gallery on a Smartphone. Here I am testing the Jewelry Box Theme on an iPhone 6. I can easily switch basemaps in Portrait mode. However, in the Landscape mode I see some extra space in the top section. Here I am using the Foldable Theme. It works perfectly fine in Portrait mode. I see the same issue with extra space when rotated to Landscape mode. After a lot of tries, I did manage to get a mashup in Portrait mode. However, no matter how much I tried, I could never get a mashup in Landscape mode. I am trying to hit that tiny green plus symbol. It always switches my basemap. I guess if the area was larger, it would be easier to differentiate between a tap on the middle to switch basemaps, and a tap on the upper left corner to make a mashup. But don't worry about this. I doubt anyone would be using a Smarthphone to use such an application. A web app of this much complexity is meant to be used on a Desktop or Tablet. On an iPad, it is much easier to hit that green plus sign to make a mashup, although it would be wonderful if you could make the target area larger. ... View more

Hi Robert, Thanks a million for your lightening fast resolution! Your fix is working perfectly in version 1.2.0.2 of the Enhanced Basemap Gallery Widget that your released this morning. I started with a clean slate by adding your new eBasemapGallery folder to the widgets folder. I am adding an In-Panel widget to placeholder #1. I am selecting the Enhanced Basemap Widget. All standard ESRI basemaps now load fine! Next, I am adding my own basemap. I am clicking on the Thumbnail. It accepts my image sized at 400 x 400 pixels. I am entering the URL = http://gis.mcassessor.maricopa.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/Aerials2014/MapServer The basemap gets added correctly. I can select this basemap from the GUI. Everything works as expected. I had just one minor enhancement request. Could you add the CSS code to make the header color change with the Style color? I know you had to write about a 1000 lines of CSS code on your eSearch widget to make this happen. If I open your eSearch Widget, it automatically changes the header color of all widgets to match the Style color. I see that my thumbnail image is being copied to: server\apps\2\configs\eBasemapGallery The path to this image is being written to the config_Enhanced Basemap Gallery.json file as: ${appPath}/configs/eBasemapGallery/thumbnailUrl.jpeg This works perfectly fine within the Web AppBuilder. However, let's see what happens when I download the ZIP file and deploy the app on my local server. I have unzipped and copied the contents to: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ebasemapgallery When I launch the app on my local server: http://amd/ebasemapgallery I see that it could not find the thumbnail image. There is a simple fix. I like to copy the thumbnail images to the images folder: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ebasemapgallery\widgets\eBasemapGallery\images Next, I am adding a relative path to the this image in the config.json file images/thumbnailUrl.jpg Now the thumbnail image shows up correctly when I launch the app on my local server: http://amd/ebasemapgallery Robert, I cannot thank you enough for your 24/7 support. You have set the high benchmark for how a customer driven software development should take place. Traditional software development environments would never be able to match the fast turnaround times that is possible on the cloud. You gave us a solution in a matter of minutes! There were no tech support calls to make, no incident report to fill up, no waiting for 3 months for a patch. We are thrilled. ... View more
