I had an open ticket with them, but the issue of synchronous vs. asynchronous didn't come up as a possible solution to my problem. ... View more

This sample helped me too, but my information wasn't in JSON format, it was in my map service.  I used the onComplete function of a queryTask to generate the input format that clusterLayer needed.     function createCluster(){     var queryTask = new esri.tasks.QueryTask("https:servername/arcgis/rest/services/pointLocation/MapServer/0");     var query = new esri.tasks.Query();     query.returnGeometry = true;     query.where = '1=1';     query.outFields = ["*"];         dojo.connect(queryTask, "onComplete", function(featureSet){         var inputInfo = {};         inputInfo.data = dojo.map(featureSet.features, function(feature){             var point = feature.geometry;             var att = feature.attributes;             var pointX = feature.geometry.x;             var pointY = feature.geometry.y;             return {                 "x": pointX,                 "y": pointY,                 "attributes": att             };         });                 var singleServerSymbol =  new esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE, 10,          new esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol(esri.symbol.SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_SOLID, new dojo.Color([0,0,0]), 1),new dojo.Color([0,205,0,0.25]));         // cluster layer that uses OpenLayers style clustering         clusterLayer = new extras.ClusterLayer({             "data": inputInfo.data,             "distance": 5,             "id": "clusterLayer",             "labelColor": "#fff",             "labelOffset": 10,             "resolution": map.extent.getWidth() / map.width,             "singleColor": "#00ca00",             "singleSym": "singleServerSymbol",                       "singleTemplate": infoTemplate         });         var renderer = new esri.renderer.ClassBreaksRenderer(singleServerSymbol, "clusterCount");               var single = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol("http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Shapes/GreenCircleLargeB.png", 18, 18);         var small = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol("http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Shapes/GreenPin1LargeB.png", 48, 48).setOffset(0, 15);         var medium = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol("http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Shapes/GreenPin1LargeB.png", 64, 64).setOffset(0, 15);         var large = new esri.symbol.PictureMarkerSymbol("http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Shapes/GreenPin1LargeB.png", 96, 96).setOffset(0, 15);                 renderer.addBreak(0, 2, single);         renderer.addBreak(2, 25, small);         renderer.addBreak(25, 100, medium);         renderer.addBreak(100, 1001, large);            clusterLayer.setRenderer(renderer);         map.addLayer(clusterLayer);         dojo.connect(queryTask, "onError", function(err){             alert(err.details);         });                 dojo.connect(map, "onKeyDown", function(e){             if (e.keyCode == 27) {                 cleanUp();             }         });                      });     queryTask.execute(query); }     function cleanUp() {         map.infoWindow.hide();         clusterLayer.clearSingles();       } ...

Yes I mean to have the same custom text elements for both templates.  I don't have this fully populated because I'm just working on a landscape printout, but I'll need a Portrait equivalent with the exact same content.  The user will have to determine which orientation works best for the particular screen content. I switched my print service from Asynchronous to Synchronous and that seems to have made the difference.  (Although I still think it's gremlins.)  In the instructions for authoring it suggested you can use either for your Execution Method.  I didn't find that was the case! ...

That's how I have it, except that I have a little punctuation problem.  I'm trying to update the customTextElements in onPrintStart, right before the print is submitted.  When I do, I end up generating "layoutOptions":{"titleText":"my map title", "customTextElements":[ {"legalDescriptionText":"BEG 82.5 FT E NE COR BENTON & WALNUT STS E 82.5 FT N 267 FT W 82.5 FT S TO BEG"}, {"subTitleText":" E WALNUT ST"}] I'm having a real hard time spotting the typo, but I think I'm missing an ending curly brace to close out value of layoutOptions.  Since I'm defining this programmatically, I haven't found the line yet where I can correct this.  I have posting on the JS forum too.  I'm still trying to decide if my service is OK. I'm having a really hard time testing it without programming something. I found a posting to modify the template to dynamically alter the title, so the user could enter what they wanted.  This added the line this.templates.layoutOptions.titleText = printTitle; Then I wanted to go back and also add customTextElements. I ended up with:         dojo.connect(printer, "onPrintStart", function(){ //console.log("onPrintStart: fullLegalString = " + fullLegalString + "print_subTitle = " + print_subTitle);             var printTitle = dojo.byId("txtTitle").value;                 for (var i = 0; i < templates.length; i++) {                    this.templates.layoutOptions.titleText = printTitle;                  this.templates.layoutOptions.customTextElements =[                         {"legalDescriptionText": fullLegalString},                         {"subTitleText": print_subTitle} ];                  }         }); Maybe instead of trying to define titleText and customTextElements separately, I should try defining the entire layoutOptions and concatenate it all together somehow.  Otherwise I'm still chasing down a curly brace (I think ...) ...

Just an update, but no answer.  I can't believe no one else is struggling with these custom layouts! I did have a few issues in how I was formatting my custom text elements, which I think I've gotten straightened out.  I have gotten so far as to see that the request is getting made to the print service.  If I take the webmap as JSON from the POST and put it in the the rest endpoint, I get a properly rendered page.  I was excited to see it would work there, but calling it from within in my code, I immediately get a 'Syntax error'.  It seems to have something to do with the dojo.deferred.  I assume this is because these are asynchronous requests?  Here's my printing functions.     //functions for printing     function openPrint(){         var layoutTemplate, templateNames, mapOnlyIndex;         var fp = dijit.byId('floater_print');         if ((fp.style == "visibility: hidden;") || (fp.style = "VISIBILITY:hidden;")) {             fp.style.visibility = "visible";             fp.show();         }     }     function setupPrinting(subHeaderTitle){             //  array of objects that will be used to create print templates         var layouts = [{             "name": "FMDC_Landscape",             "label": "Landscape - PDF",             "format": "PDF",             "options": {                 "legendLayers": [], // empty array means no legend                 "scalebarUnit": "Miles",                 "titleText": subHeaderTitle,                 "customTextElements": [                    {"legalDescriptionText": fullLegalString},                     {"subTitleText": print_subTitle} ]                       }         }               ,{             "name": "FMDC_Landscape",             "label": "Portrait do not use",             "format": "PDF",             "options": {                 "legendLayers": [], // empty array means no legend                 "scalebarUnit": "Miles",                 "titleText": subHeaderTitle,                 "customTextElements":[                     {"legalDescriptionText": fullLegalString},                     {"subTitleText": print_subTitle} ]                      }         }         ];                 // create the print templates, could also use dojo.map         dojo.forEach(layouts, function(lo){             var t = new esri.tasks.PrintTemplate();             t.layout = lo.name;             t.label = lo.label;             t.format = lo.format;             t.layoutOptions = lo.options;             templates.push(t);         });                 var printer = new esri.dijit.Print({             "map": map,             "templates": templates,             url: printUrl         }, dojo.byId("PrintDiv2"));                 printer.startup();         dojo.connect(printer, "onPrintStart", function(){             var printTitle = dojo.byId("txtTitle").value;             for (var i = 0; i < templates.length; i++) {                this.templates.layoutOptions.titleText = printTitle;              this.templates.layoutOptions.customTextElements =[                     {"legalDescriptionText": fullLegalString},                     {"subTitleText": print_subTitle} ];                 console.log("onPrintStart: fullLegalString = " + fullLegalString + "print_subTitle = " + print_subTitle);             }         });     } Here is my webMap as JSON, which works if I use it directly in my print service endpoint

I'm not having the greatest luck with the 10.1 print service, although it keeps getting brought up as the solution to all our printing problems.  I hunted around quite a bit, the same way you did, trying to find pre-10.1 printing solutions and they seem to have been deleted from the places I would have expected to find them. ...

No, that didn't work.  Aren't nodes more for widgets?  This is just a standard floating pane with a couple of buttons in it.   I saw another thread that I thought was similar to listen for when an infoWindow closed: <a class="hide" dojoattachpoint="_hide" dojoattachevent="onclick:hide" style="margin-left: 303px; "><div class="sprite"></div></a> Code related to the event: dojo.connect(map.infoWindow._hide, "onclick", function(){       //your code here for handling the close button click. }); I haven't quite figured out the syntax yet, but it seems like I should maybe be looking at something similar on the minimize dojoattachpoint of the minimize icon instead? ...

I like that suggestion, Steve.  I think there are a few existing ones that are just too short that it would be nice if ESRI adjusted what is in the existing sprite file.  Especially the ones that generate just to the left or right are too close.  The ones that are at a angle aren't quite so bad. I did dig enough to see they were sprites and that was where I stopped.  I'm not ready to generate my own custom sprites! ... View more

I think I have a different problem.  I have a dojo.connect that is supposed to be listening for when the pane is closing to do some clean up by calling the closeMeasure function. I just realized that 'closeMeasure' isn't getting called after all. I thought it was.  My problem is the syntax is listening for when the floating pane is closed.  Or should I be listening for something related to the dock? I have a line that must not be the right way to go about this: dojo.connect (dijit.byId('floater_GeomMeasure'), "onHide", closeMeasure); ... View more
