Hi, I'm having trouble configuring my open data site. There seems to be no integration of map services and the map that is shown on the home page. I'm assuming that I should be able to preview a dataset on the map, identify features, etc.... Its not clear if its a bug or rather that I have failed to configure it properly. I'm sharing one map service with a number of layers. I can preview the tabular data but nothing is shown on the map. Also, I'd like the map to default to my organizations geographic extent. Currently it defaults to the United States. Documentation on configuring the site is pretty thin. At least, what I have found so far. Any help would be appreciated. ... View more

It would be useful to be able to link editing capabilities for a feature service to a scale range. The idea is that you would have fine grained control, so that you could say that "create features" capability is enabled at large scales but not at smaller scales. Edit attributes could be enabled at all scales, etc.... This would help maintain better data integrity with our web maps. Often users digitize features at too small of a scale to achieve accurate results. Training only goes so far. Better to enforce this as part of the service config. Note, that scale dependancy for visibility does not apply to edits. You can edit a feature service that is not visible at the current scale. At least you can create a new feature.... Thanks. ...

Hi, I'm experiencing an odd bug with my application. The app uses a webmap with an unsecured map service. The app also includes a secured feature service of a table which is not part of the webmap. The feature service is used for custom attribute editing and attachment uploading. Everything works as expected to start. No prompt for authentication initially, because the feature service is not part of the webmap. When a user attempts to do an edit task, they are prompted for authentication to the feature service as expected. If they provide the proper user and password all is well; the app works as expected. If, they cancel out of the identity manager, they are denied access to the editing interface as expected, but the next time they click a feature to get a popup, the identity manager dialog appears and the user is promped to authenticate for each layer in the unsecured map service. Here is a screenshot. The service called COB_Utilities/SewerPipes is not secured. Using fiddler I can see that once the user has successfully authenticated to the secure feature service, all identify/query requests appear to append a token, even though the service they are requesting from is unsecured.  No clue why this would hapen. Any ideas? Using jsapi 2.8. ... View more

Hi, Looking for suggestions to make a combobox perform better. The problem is that I have a large dataset (appx 75k values) which I'm populating into the combobox. This is done via a query of a sql table. Then the query results are processed by adding them to an array which is used as the data store (itemFileReadStore). The main problem is that it is quite slow when user starts typing a value or tries to pick a value from the dropdown list. Like several seconds delay. Not too surprising, given the size of the data store... So, are there ways to improve performance with the itemFileReadStore? Is there a better data store to use? JsonRest? I do have the pagesize attribute of the combobox set to 20, which helps a bit.... The app is at jsapi 2.8. Here is code which programatically creates combobox function createAssetSearch() {   //create label for search input   var assetSearchLabel = dojo.create("div", {innerHTML:"Asset Search", style: { display: "inline", padding: "5px", position: "relative", top: "3px"}});   var assetSelect = new dijit.form.ComboBox({     name: 'assetSelect',     pageSize: 20,     maxHeight: 300,     id: 'assetFilterSelect',     fetchProperties: { sort: [{attribute:"name",descending: false}] },     onMouseEnter: function() {clearDefaultValue(this.value);},     onChange: function() {zoomSetup(this.value);}, //needs to be a reference to a function, not a direct function call     value: 'ex. 198802'   }, dojo.doc.createElement('div'));   dojo.byId('webmap-toolbar-center').appendChild(assetSearchLabel);   dojo.byId('webmap-toolbar-center').appendChild(assetSelect.domNode); //need to pad item so it is not right next to   //execute funtion which populates asset dropdown dijit   queryAssets(); } and the function to populate it function populateAssetList(results) {   //Populate the dropdown list box with unique values   var asset, values = [];   var features = results.features;   dojo.forEach (features, function(feature) {     asset = feature.attributes.ASSETNUMBER;     layer = feature.attributes.LAYER     values.push({name:asset,layer:layer});   });           var dataItems = {     identifier: 'name',     label: 'name',     items: values   };   store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({data:dataItems});    dijit.byId("assetFilterSelect").store = store; } ...
