Hi I'm using the sample code to creat my legend //add the legend dojo.connect(map,'onLayersAddResult',function(results){ var layerInfo = dojo.map(results, function(layer,index){ return {layer:layer.layer,title:layer.layer.name}; }); if(layerInfo.length > 0){ var legendDijit = new esri.dijit.Legend({ map:map, layerInfos:layerInfo },"legendDiv"); legendDijit.startup(); } So I would have thought that in my function that sets visibly of sublayers I would add legendDijit.refresh() But this just erors with Uncaught ReferenceError: legendDijit is not defined Friday night - I'm off home - which means I'll realize what I've done wrong at about 03:00 😄 ACM

You're quite right, of course, my definition was a bit short of a true definition of "layer" as used by the desktop. But I'm glad to see in general I am not alone in thinking better terms should have been chosen at te start of the API - I can't see any way it will change now.

Cheers - but this isn't consistent, for example .visibleLayers returns the visible discrete datalayers within a ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer So I'm still confused!

OK on the desktop this is simple, a layer is a discrete data set, a shapefile, a layer in a geodatabase or something. However it seems to me to have two usages for the Javascript API. Take this from http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples_start.htm "This sample shows how to use the Legend widget to build a legend that displays swatches and labels for the layers in the map.................The legend is displayed in one pane of the accordion container and a link that allows you to toggle the visibility of layers in the map is displayed in the other" In the instance of "layers" this refers to the discrete datasets on the map, in this example, Campgrounds, Shelters, Earthquakes etc, and refers to the legend items for each of these "layers" The second instance refers to map services added by "map.addLayers" and will give a tick box per map service - which could contain shed loads of, what I would call, "layers" Have I missed something here?

Karl I came here with the same query and am just looking at the original page you linked to. I've then quickly looked at you code - is it complete? It seems to be missing some -- there seem to be several FOR loops started but not finished - or am I missing something? Cheers ACM

Hi I'm trying to adapt the "Show Find Task results in DataGrid" to zoom to the result in the grid. I can see how the code loops through the results and populates the grid, but have hit a time barrier to try and get the click bit working - I've tried adapting http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/javascript/arcgis/help/jssamples/find_map_datagrid.html without much luck and now I've run out of "free" time and have to get back to other stuff. Any help would be great Cheers ACM

We found the cause, but not the reason. The cause was we have, via Group Policy, defined our "my Documents" to live on the network - a mapped drive u:\ Users with the default (c:\documents and settings\username\) worked fine, as soon as we made the change to the network this broke (BTW our Local Admin accounts had it set to the local drive, which is why it appeared to work when logged in as an admin) Esri(UK) failed to recreate the problem, so we assumed that something isn't quite right with our GPOs. However, by setting the registry to look for shared AddIns (which was my ultimate goal anyway - just let the users use add-ins from a central location) it all worked.

Hi Was the cause of this ever resolved? It sounds similar to my current issue with 10 SP1 - The only way I can see the categories associated with add-ins is running ArcMap as a local admin. Cheers ACM

PS Adding the built addin using the "Add from file" button, from the built location of "My Documents\ArcGIS\Addins\<guid> I fet "no gui components found in this add-in" and nothing is added. Adding the same file from a different location I don't get this, but neither do I get the category added to the list, it refreshes the list but doesn't add anything Cheers ACM

‎04-12-2011

Yep all of that is installed and OK. I build the addin and then can see it i Add In Manager in ArcMap. What I cannot see is the category in the commands tab of the customize window I have created the addin in - for example "Developer Samples" However, I have just ran ArcMap as a local admin user and it all works fine. So, there is some restriction on our normal accounts here that is preventing this last bit of registratin working. I have just logged this as a call with ESRI(UK) (I don't think they are yet Esri(UK) ) Cheers Adrian

Hi I'm just venturing into the world of addins. I have followed the walkthrough for a simple "hello world" as well as building a few of the samples. Yest when I come to add the the relevant categories are missing from the command list. So, for the walkthrough I am missing "Add-In Controls" (I left it as default) and for the samples it is "Developer Samples" This is on a laptop that had 10 freshly installed today, never has had any esri stuff on it before. Cheers ACM

Many thanks for that - I have it all nicely integrated in my site now - however, I have been using the "compact" version of the API - mainly as the zoom buttons are nice and clear (the default ones just vanish, and I haven't had time to work out how to customize them) In the past I've been able to work out which bits I needed to include by name when using the compact version, but I can't work it out this time. Any ideas? Cheers ACM Edit - not so important now - I've reverted to full version and changed the slider - still work in progress as I need to tidy up the code a bit http://maps.eastdevon.gov.uk/mapping/shlaa/

‎01-20-2011

one final question - is the packaged example still around for download - the link on the blog is broken - obviously I can get all the files one at a time.....;)

FME 2011 came my way today,with a new format ESRIJSON - one output geometry is "rectangle" running the shapefile with my towns though the "bounds extractor" and to an ESRIJSON format with rectangle geometries, more or less got what I want in one hit. I need to test it & stuff but it looks perfect 😄

‎01-13-2011

cool, as long as I wasn't missing the big red "make shapefile to JSON" button somewhere. In fact, whilst at home watching an episode of Buffy, I realized how to do it. I have FME, which creates full fat JSON files, with the full geometry in. But I realized if I take yours, convert it, say to a dbf, in FME, see the structure, then make a similar one with the areas I want in, FME should then convert that back to a JSON with just what I want - i think:D Who knows, but I think I can see the light (as it were) Many thanks ACM
