For both the sms/email output connectors, I want to be able to pass through values from the incoming events. Is this possible, as my tests dont seem to flow the events through. Hi this is a test. ${someFieldFromIncomingGeoEventDefinition} [ATTACH=CONFIG]27038[/ATTACH] ... View more

I want to be able to use the Simulator to serve up some mock data to GEP, and then GEP to push out JSON features to a Javascript Stream Layer.  I decided to run through the Websockets tutorial to start from the basics (have done a number of the other tutorials). Running 10.2 ArcGIS Server/GEP running on a Windows 7 machine (have replicated on two other machines). Installed the SSL certificate with IE9 as per the documentation.  Using Chrome as my default browser, but have same problem in IE9. I have encountered some issues in that the built in web socket endpoint is not receiving the messages, although the TCP console, monitor tab and Fiddler do show that the messages are being served up.  I have broken this down to as simple as possible, by replicating it with just the simulator serving up the Trucks.csv simulation data to a standard 'Publish JSON to a web socket' output connector.  The WS endpoint does not receive any messages. Thought it might be easier if I put my workings into a quick screencast for you to diagnose what I am doing wrong. http://screencast.com/t/WwmHZvdPs (You should add screencast to your list of supported embeddable vide types) Let me know if you need anything else from me. ...

Got the Instagram-10.2.0 connector wired up and ran through the tutorial. Everything works as expected. Wanted to take it a step further, and get images.standard_resolution.url written to a field in my featureclass via the add feature adapter/feature service. This will allow me to show the images in a popup via ArcGIS Online. However, it seems like there is a problem getting to this nested JSON attribute. The output for the rest of the fields is coming through, just not for images.standard_resolution.url (refer to Null_Data_Coming_Through.png) From checking the output JSON, I can see that this is coming through ok (refer to ExampleOutput.json) With the field mapper, I can successfully pick the images.standard_resolution.url without any hackery (refer to FieldMapper.png and FieldMapper_ChooseField.png), but when I check the TCP output which is after it has been field mapped, this field is not coming through.

I have a points layer that can have a field (a domain) edited via the Collector Application. I have a polygon layer that is joined to this points layer, and symbolised by the same field. Publishing from ArcGIS for Desktop to my ArcGIS Online for Organisational account = gives no errors around the join not being supported. However, in the web-map, the polygon layer does not show up in the map, although it appears in the ArcGIS Online webmap TOC. Is this a known limitation? ... View more

I have been doing some testing with the location tracking layer in Collector. Some questions: At the moment, I am getting a series of new points added to the layer which are a past record of where my collectors have been.  There is an attribute for accuracy, but none for the collector user, or a timestamp. Q1. Without these, how might one know which dots relate to which user, and when that user was there? I tried enabling editor tracking, but this still does not feed in a timestamp? [ATTACH=CONFIG]24348[/ATTACH] Without these attributes, I am unable to symbolise or apply a definition query to show a 'snail trail' for each collectors movements in the last XX minutes. Q2. How can I change the tracking layer to just show me the current position of my collectors, so that these can be seen in applications like Dashboard?  I want to make the tracking layer an UPDATE as opposed to an ADD, but I cant see this option available? For the demonstrations that were done at Dev Summit, I assume this was making use of GeoEvent Processor? It might well be that I have missed a step in configuration and the above Questions might involve going back and changing something.  Thanks. ... View more

I am taking baby steps with Collector & Dashboard.  So far I am liking the capabilities. In particular, I want to showcase to my organisation the capabilities of the tracking functionality. I have added a tracking layer to my web-map.  Now I would like to simulate multiple field crew staff roaming about in the field. Has anyone worked out how to achieve this? Some ideas I had: 1. I saw in the Beta Geoevent processor, that there is a simulator to do this.  However, I want to keep this all on ArcGIS Online and setup times for the Beta GeoEvent processor might not be feasible. 2. Get some staff to roam about in the field.  (not feasible at all). 3. Find an iphone App that lets me spoof the location.  I saw one for Android where you could feed in a GPS track and it would then spoof the location of the Android GPS to match that track.  I have access to a few iPhones, but they cannot be jailbroken. Any ideas on how to achieve this? ... View more

I have a map sitting on top of a dark gray background. I have the canvas basemap set to initially load as semi-transparent: var canvas = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Canvas/World_Light_Gray_Base/MapServer", {          "opacity":0.28,          "id": "canvas"}); When I zoom in/out, the tiles seem to flash in. Easier to see what I mean by watching this short screencast. I am guessing it might be to do with the fact that the layer has some kind of fade in transistion for new tiles? If you agree that this is the likely cause, is there any way to turn this effect off? For info, elsewhere in my application I have a transparency slider for this layer, but this has the same value as the initial transparency of the basemap.  The reason I mention this, is that if there is a way the tiles can have their transparency altered perhaps by CSS, this will not be a workaround for me, as the tiles can have their opacity changed by the slider. $('#slider').slider({     min: 0,     max: 100,     value: 28,     range: "min",     slide: function(event, ui) {               map.getLayer("canvas").setOpacity(ui.value/100);           }    }); ...

I am dynamically creating a chart within a map popup (triggered when user clicks the map) using v3.3 (same behaviour exists with 3.2) var c = dojo.create("div", {           id: "demoChart"         }, dojo.create('div')); After setting the chart properties (data, theme, etc), if I call chart.render , the chart renders correctly but at the wrong size (too big for the infoWindow container div). However, if I call chart.resize(175, 145) , the chart does get created at the correct size, but does not get created on first click, but the second click. To replicate please see this JSFiddle, and refer to lines 49-53 in the Javascript.   map.infoWindow.setContent(c);   // Chart Resize will resize the DIV as needed.   // However, the initial click will not show the chart   chart.resize(175, 145);   // Chart Render shows the chart on first click, but does not resize the div   //chart.render(); I was under the impression that the resize method included calling render within it. Therefore I am not too sure why I am getting this behaviour. I need to know what needs changing in order to create the chart div at the same size as the parent div that it sits within, and appear everytime. (Bonus points for why my tooltips arent appearing as well). ... View more
