I guess the question is can I format an image in the Attribute Expression and then apply this Attribute Expression in the Popup? I can do it with Text but want an image.... Then based on the value of the field I can change the image being represented In the example below I am hardcoding an image into the popup....but I want to be able to change this image based on a field in the actual data... So the image would have to be formatted or constructed in the Attribute Expression ... View more

Randy Burton‌ Thanks Randy...I really do like this approach and learning as I go....much appreciated.  Think this is the approach I am going to take...modified your example a bit and added some more validation and it is working great.. ... View more

Dan Patterson‌ was I correct in the logic about reading in my geometry for the polygon.... Yea I am using python here....trying to publish this out to a service but its not letting me.....keeps blowing up saying Error in creating the definition file ... View more

OK I think I am understanding now....so I would just read in my geometry.... Do I have this correct.... read in my Polygons coordinates instead of the squares XYs create the array from list of coords create my point with my XY coordinates Test and point.within(polygon) will  return true if within and false if outside # READ IN THE COORDINATES OF MY POLY INSTEAD OF THE SQUARE BELOW coords = [[0, 0], [0, 2], [2, 2], [2, 0], [0, 0]] # CREATE ARRAY OF THOSE COORDS polygon = arcpy.Polygon(arcpy.Array([arcpy.Point(*a) for a in coords]), sr) print "polygon area:", polygon.area # READ IN MY POINT GEOMETRY point = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(X Coord, Y Coord), sr) # TEST IF INSIDE WILL RETURN TRUE IF YES AND FALSE IF NO? print "point within polygon:", point.within(polygon)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Dan I am interested in this approach...is there a better example?  Trying to get a better understanding of this. ... View more

Think I might have it.....but not sure still testing...took the fcPoint we created and used MakeFeatureLayer and used that  arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(fcPoint, "PointfromGeocode") results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('PointfromGeocode', 'WITHIN', 'state_lyr') ... View more

OK I am here again....still having issues with the first parameter ....Im trying to create the Feature and put it into memory as you suggested....but getting the same error where the parameters are incorrect.

Thanks for your reply randy burton‌ At one point I was taking my state layer and buffering it and then trying to see if the point was inside it. Now I am simply using the SelectLayerByLocation and specifying a distance to search for the point location within a user specified distance of the state I WANT to find if the point is in the State or within a specified distance of the state  The issue I am running into is that I cannot use the ptGeometry as a parameter because I get the following error If I use a Point in afeature class it works..... Notice below in the code that changed the output to UTM Zone 17N.  That is the Projection of the State Layer being referenced and its in meters. I need to be able to geocode an address, get the XY and then test if its in the state with the user specified distance to search slightly outside the boundary. results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(ptGeometry, 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION') This is what I get back when I run it. address: 1520 Split Oak Ln, Henrico, VA, 23229 distance: 25 805193.59194 4167142.87407 {"x":805193.59194028517,"y":4167142.8740720972,"spatialReference":{"wkid":null}} Traceback (most recent call last): File "E:\ArcGIS Server\ArcGIS Published MXDs\Projects\NWTL\Python\NWTL_In_Virginia.py", line 120, in <module> results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management(ptGeometry, 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION') File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.5\ArcPy\arcpy\management.py", line 7891, in SelectLayerByLocation raise e ExecuteError: Failed to execute.

OK ... Puzzled here....I can get this to work if I reference the point that is in a Feature Class but I cannot get it to work with the result from my Geocoded address and resulting XY My original address that is geocoded is WGS84 I convert that to UTM Nad83 Zone 17N (26917) The state State layer is stored in UTM Nad83 Zone17N (26917) Meters The input from the parameters is Miles and I am converting that distance to Meters. I know the distance thing is working because I can test that against a Point that is outside the state in a Feature Class and increase that distance and it eventually finds it... Any thoughts as to why the Geocoded result is not being found...I am converting this to the Appropriate Spatial Reference.....ugggggg This Does NOT work ## CONVERT MILE TO METERS FOR SPATIAL BUFFER # Value received from input parameter in JSON string distanceMeters = int(varsearchDistance) * 1609.34 arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/Virginia_UTM_Meters", "state_lyr") x = -77.434769 # longitude y = 37.541290 # latitude # convert from WGS84 to UTM zone 17N ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(26917)) arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, "PointfromGeocode") distance = int(distanceMeters) results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('PointfromGeocode', 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION') ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This works - only real difference is that I am pointing to a Feature Class point instead of usign the XY to create the point geometry ## CONVERT MILE TO METERS FOR SPATIAL BUFFER # Value received from input parameter in JSON string distanceMeters = int(varsearchDistance) * 1609.34 arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/Virginia_UTM_Meters", "state_lyr") arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(r"E:/ArcGISProjects/Selection/xx.sde/TestPoint", "testPoint") distance = int(distanceMeters) results = arcpy.SelectLayerByLocation_management('testPoint', 'WITHIN_A_DISTANCE', 'state_lyr', distance, selection_type='NEW_SELECTION') ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ HOW CAN I Test this new Layer?  I tried the below but I dont get anything returned. ptGeometry = arcpy.PointGeometry(arcpy.Point(x,y),arcpy.SpatialReference(4326)).projectAs(arcpy.SpatialReference(26917)) arcpy.MakeFeatureLayer_management(ptGeometry, "PointfromGeocode") print "start" fields = ['SHAPE@XY'] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor('PointfromGeocode', fields) as cursor: for row in cursor: print(u'{0}'.format(row[0])) print "end of first" ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

randy burton‌  Thanks for your input... If I do the below I am getting this error thrown back at me.... Maybe I should project all my data and use a different coord system?
