You have a problem with your if statement. if (newstate = "on") { ...  } else { ... } When you check if newstate="on", your actually assigning "on" to newstate and checking if the assignment was successful. Just change it to if (newstate === "on") and you should be fine. ... View more

Thanks anyway. I just found the ArcGIS Online space and am thinking I should have actually posted this over there since this is more a question about configurations through an ArcGIS Online Custom template, I may start a new thread over there and link this one. ... View more

Thanks for the reply Robert.  We are actually not trying to use two Web Maps with the same map object, just allow the user to configure two of them in the application template.  Our application supports multiple languages and what we are trying to do is have the user create two Web Maps, one in English and one in an alternate language.  Then we load the default web map and when they toggle languages, we destroy that map and create another one with the other web map id.  This part actually works really well, the part we are having troubles with is ArcGIS Online allowing multiple web maps to be configured through ArcGIS online using the Web Map Dialog picker.  This way our users do not have to download the codebase and configure it manually themselves. P.S.  Parsing the operational layers works pretty well, we are doing that to create a custom TOC widget to control the layers from the web map plus some defaults that we added, and when we change web map id's, we just re-render the TOC (it's a React component), and it works perfectly with the new web map. ...

UPDATE:  A workaround we are considering but hoping to avoid is using a string and having the user manually enter their Web Map id as a string.  This would work but would not be as nice as using the Web Map dialog. ... View more

Check out this link here, Create app templates—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS , it will point you to a sample github application that can be configured through ArcGIS online.  There are also some other links in the local navigation menu on the left for what configurations can be used and how. ...

If you look in the chrome developer tools network tab, what do you see under form data.  It looks like you may not have the right format for form data.  I think it should be an object not an array, something like this: data = {   f: 'json',   adds: [{     attributes: {       "user": "",       "objectid: "" // This may be necessary for it to know what feature to update     }   }] }; And then use this in your AJAX request instead of arrayOfAttributes jQuery.ajax({    ... // Your stuff here   data: data }); That error means the service could not infer what you are trying to do meaning it did not see the 'adds' key in your post data. ...

Eve Lundsten I have put up a sample boilerplate that I have used before in production apps.  It demonstrates how to setup babel (to compile ES6 and JSX to ES5 in AMD format) and use React + Flux in a ArcGIS based application.  It may be a little tough for beginners but would be a good exercise since it uses React & Flux plus a whole bunch of tools for developing, deploying, and optimizing.  The master branch uses the 4.0beta3 api as well but it has tags to versions 3.15 and 3.16.  You can check it out here GitHub - Robert-W/esri-flux-react: Simple Boilerplate for using React and Esri's JavaScript API together. It supports IE… and feel free to submit questions/comments as an issue, I generally respond there quicker then here. ... View more

Hi Tracy, I don't believe 'on' is a deferred type which means the .then function won't exist. dojo's on module takes an event name and a callback function. You may be able to move that code in the then into the callback function like below: app.staffLayer.on( 'query-features-complete', lang.hitch(this, function(response){   //there are never any features found here                var feature;              var features = response.features;              var inBuffer = [];                            //started with extent,now filter out features that are not actually within buffer              for (var i = 0; i < features.length; i++) {                feature = features;                if (circle.contains(feature.geometry)) {                  inBuffer.push(feature.attributes[ESRI_OID]);                }              }   var query = new Query();              query.objectIds = inBuffer;              var staffList = [];              app.staffLayer.selectFeatures(query, FeatureLayer.SELECTION_NEW, function(results){                arrayUtils.forEach(results, function(feature){                  staffList.push(feature.attributes.Contact_FirstName + " " + feature.attributes.Contact_LastName + "</br>");                });                alert("Staff near selected server: " + staffList);              });             })); EDIT: Just noticed @thejus replied while I was typing, but we essentially are saying the same thing ...

Yea thats exactly right.  Thats pretty much what we did the last time we used their proxy. I think all browsers now support CORS except for IE < 10 and most services now have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header set to "*", so maybe in the near future we wont really need proxies except for very large GET requests, which proxies convert to POST so they can work. ...

Ahh ok, maybe I misunderstood the question.  Im not sure if this is what you were looking for but this is a nice way to get a reference to the node so you can get or set its value or just hold on to the node without needing to use document.getElementById.  The event that gets passed in has an event.target property which is actually the dom node, ownerAddress. ...
