Working on a custom WAB widget (JSAPI 3.x) that generates some buffers around user selected input features. Wanting to highlight features found within buffer on the map.  The following code (amalgamated from various online examples) finds the features but it won't highlight anything in the map: ... bufferQuery = new Query(); bufferQuery.returnGeometry = true; bufferQuery.where = "1=1"; bufferQuery.outFields = ["*"]; bufferQuery.SpatialRelationship = "SPATIAL_REL_CONTAINS"; bufferQuery.geometry = inputBuffer; ... var selectionSymbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol( SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, 12, new SimpleLineSymbol( SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_NULL, new Color([247, 34, 101, 0.9]), 1 ), new Color([207, 34, 171, 0.5]) ); myFeatureLayer.setSelectionSymbol(selectionSymbol); myFeatureLayer.selectFeatures(bufferQuery, FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW, function(results) { console.log("found ", results.length, " features in buffer"); })‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍;‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ I've played around with taking each taking and making a new Graphic from it to then add to a graphics layers but my understanding from  what I read was that the above or some variation thereof should highlight the selection using the specific symbology. Something missing? ... View more

So I would like to log some simple website/web application hits in a web app, log page, time, user name when someone accesses the app.  This older thread here suggested doing: console.log(IdentityManager.credentials[0].userId) //returns <user@domain>‍‍‍ This works great when used inside one of my widgets, and I might use it there to figure out who actually uses them. But where would be the place to put this to log web app access before any widget's been activated? I haven't delved into the jimu/WAB code beyond life inside widgets. First attempt at putting it in something like main.js have failed and returned Null. I'm not really wanting to go through Portal, as suggested here, where an app is shared with everyone and not accessed through Portal and necessarily registered there. But maybe registering it there regardless is the solution? Any guidance is appreciated. ... View more

So there is nothing worse, I find, than wanting to reuse some code you have successfully deployed in once place and not getting it work elsewhere. I'm running into this with using Search (JSAPI 3,x) in my latest custom widget for WAB 2.16. It's a simple search with suggestions that I'm recycling. Gave it a new name and hooked it into a new service but it bombs when trying to return suggestions. This is what I'm doing, maybe someone spots my obvious mistake. // plugged in the widget.html, I have <div data-dojo-attach-point="searchWithSuggestions" id="searchWithSuggestions"></div>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Then I do this in Javascript... // widget.js startup : function() { [ ... ] var searchUrl = "https://.....Mapserver/1 "; var searchSources = [ {featureLayer: new FeatureLayer(searchUrl), name: 'Layer 1', outFields: ["*"], displayField: ["NAME"], searchFields: ["NAME"], suggestionTemplate: "${NAME}", enableSearchingAll: false, enableSuggestions: true, exactMatch: false, minCharacters: 3 } ]; this.searchWithSuggestions = new Search({ sources: searchSources, popupEnabled: false, autoSelect: false, enableSourcesMenu: false, enableSuggestions: true, maxSuggestions: 5, allPlaceholder: "enter your search here", autoNavigate: false }, "searchWithSuggestions"); this.searchWithSuggestions.startup(); },‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Search widget shows up in widget. But when i start typing and get past 3 characters (minCharacters), it fails with  So something clearly is not right with the suggestions. I've checked the map service and it supports pagination. Something wrong with my code, something else I need to check ?  ... View more

Working on a web app in WAB-DE that uses a Portal web map with pre-configured popups. Even for layers where popups have been disabled in web map (in Portal WebViewer), the map will still open a popup anywhere you click and show this... The only related thread I've found was this one: Disable "No information popup" . Apparently a quite familiar issue. Is there a way to do this programmatically through custom code under the hood of WAB-DE ? Basically, I want no popup at all where webmap does have a pre-configured (HTML) popup. ... View more
