Can anybody point me to some instructions on how to add one of the ESRI sample vector tile layers into a web map I've already built in Portal for ArcGIS?

‎10-25-2016

Agreed. If I could even read which anchor point the layout item was using, even if I couldn't change it, that would be tremendously helpful.

‎05-20-2016

Yes, please.

‎04-07-2016

Yes, an example would be very helpful, if possible

Hi there. I'm kind of new to web development so bear with me while I try to explain what I'm looking for. I've built an app in Web AppBuilder Developer edition 2.0 which I have exported as a template, hosted on my web server, and shared with my organization through Portal. (I would provide an example link, but this is all hosted on our intranet.) My goal was to provide an easy-to-use starting point with some useful third party widgets for the GIS folks in my department to use with whatever web maps they have made via Portal to share with the non-GIS users elsewhere in the organization. It's working great except for the search feature. Our end-users are going to want to be able to search for attributes to zoom to specific shapes in whatever data layers are in the web map behind the app. Because I expect the layers to be different and unpredictable from web map to web map, I can't really build that in at the template level, I don't think. What's the best way for me to give control over layers to search and search fields to the web app author who is using my template? Is there a widget out there that would search all attributes of all layers loaded into a map, perhaps? Or a widget that would expose the layer and search field components in such a way that so they could be set to configurable parameters when I export to a template from WABD? My template does use the attribute table widget and I know the end user can create a filter through the table, but I'm afraid it's not user-friendly enough for my end point users. Thanks for your patience and any help.

That worked perfectly, Robert. Thanks so much!

Hi there. I'm a beginner in the realms of the javascript API. I'm trying to zoom to the extent of a feature layer I've added to my map. When I try to run the code (attached), I don't get an error but the map extent does not change to the extent of the layer. I've checked out the rest service for my feature layer and verified that it is in the same projection as the base map (3857) and that the extent coordinates are what I expect them to be. I can set up the extent manually to those same coordinates and spatial reference and all works fine, but I'd like to set it dynamically based on the layer. Can anyone point me in the right direction? <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no"> <title>Resource Loader Test</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://js.arcgis.com/3.8/js/dojo/dijit/themes/claro/claro.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://js.arcgis.com/3.8/js/esri/css/esri.css"> <script src="http://js.arcgis.com/3.8/"></script> <script> require([ "esri/map", "esri/layers/FeatureLayer", "esri/geometry/Extent", "esri/SpatialReference", "dojo/ready", "dojo/parser", "dojo/on",], function (Map, FeatureLayer, Extent, SpatialReference, ready, parser, on) { ready(function () { parser.parse(); var myLyr = new FeatureLayer("//data.farwestern.com/arcgis/rest/services/base/Environment/MapServer/0", { mode:FeatureLayer.MODE_ONDEMAND, autoGeneralize: true, visible: true, opacity: 0.5 }); var mapMain = new Map("mapDiv", { basemap: "streets", extent: myLyr.fullExtent, zoom: 5, }); //var startExtent = new Extent(-13887750, 3371860, -10999990, 6275470, new SpatialReference({ wkid:3857 })) //mapMain.setExtent(startExtent); //mapMain.setZoom(5); mapMain.addLayer(myLyr); mapMain.on("extent-change", function(printExtent) { curExtent = mapMain.extent var extentString = ""; extentString = "XMin: " + Math.round(curExtent.xmin) + ", YMin: " + Math.round(curExtent.ymin) + ", XMax: " + Math.round(curExtent.xmax) + ", YMax: " + Math.round(curExtent.ymax); dojo.byId("mapInfo").innerHTML = extentString; }); }) } ) </script> </head> <body class="claro"> <div id="mapDiv" style="width:900px; height:600px;"></div> <div id="mapInfo"></div> </body> </html>

Hi Jon. Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I am trying to accomplish the same feat. -Shannon

‎04-26-2012

Hmm. Not sure how to go about compiling this (I don't have a flash builder), but it still doesn't sound like exactly what I need. I already have the locate widget which will let me search for address components (city, state, county, etc.) based on the ArcGIS world locator geocode service. What I'm really interested in is searching for rivers by name, or mountains, or cemeteries. Thanks for your help though!

‎04-25-2012

Thanks for the reply, philipp37. I have a geocode module. What I'm hoping for is to be able to search for known place names instead of addresses. So "Mount Vernon" instead of "123 Happy Street".

‎04-25-2012

Anybody know of a good Flex widget for searching GNIS or another existing place names database?

‎03-12-2012

Yep. Been waiting for this for years now.

I want to be able to access and alter scale bar properties such as division values, division numbers, and units via Python. An ESRI staff member on the ArcObjects forum says it can't be done... yet.

‎09-22-2010

I posted an enhancement request on the ideas board. If you have this problem too, go vote for it.

I'm trying to alter the number of divisions in a scale bar in ArcGIS 10 using Python. I can do it in VBA so it should be possible in Python, right? An example of why I might want to do this is if I have a set of data-driven pages and the map extent for the set is determined by a data-driven scale, so the scale will be different for each page. I know I can just set the scale bar to adjust the division value rather than the width, but ArcMap then chooses very awkward division values that are of no help to my field crew who are standing in the middle of nowhere with a ruler trying to figure out how far 50 feet is on the map they're holding. The scales vary too wildly for me to adjust the scale by number of divisions either. I've checked. So, my office previously had a VBA script that would look at the scale of a map and adjust the scale bar divisions and division numbers based on a list of predetermined scale ranges. Like a good ArcGIS 10 user, I'm trying to recreate this in Python. I understand how to get to the scale bar as a MapsurroundElement to adjust its width or move it around on the page, but is there a way to get to the division values?
