I think I may have figured it out… I think I was adding a feature layer as opposed to a dynamic layer. ~ Nick ... View more

So...Ive been playing around with options and I think there might be a good median in this tool.  I was configuring Roberts eBasemap tool to read one of my map services...which worked.  It occurred to me that there was little difference between between what I had mentioned above and Roberts eBasemap widget.  So, what I was thinking was combining the 2 widgets.  When I added a map service to the eBasemap it brought in the service in it's entirety.  It was fast and symbolized correctly.  The only down side was I could not configure popups, I could not turn layers on or off, and dealing with basemaps in the background were not clean. So, would it make sense to create an eLayerList widget that would allow a user to add the entire service, as in the eBasemap widget, but it would allow for the customization of the local layer widget?  This way the layer list would be populated allowing the user to turn layers on / off.  It would also allow for the configuration of popups, and other settings similar to the local layer widget. I'll admit I'm not a programmer so I don't know how challenging this could be.  I do think this would make the setup of the widget easier and cleaner.  Thoughts?  Robert Scheitlin, GISP​ ...

Great widget and a big thanks to everyone who is contributing to this.  I love the fact that there is an option for this without having to use AGOL.  I must admit that I did not read the all of the posts on this subject so forgive me if I am duplicating anything here. I was able to successfully install the widget and get things running.  I was also able to successfully configure the widget.  Here are a couple things I noticed about the widget.  It is slightly slower than the service that comes from AGOL.  I'm guessing this is due to the way we have to add feature layers to the widget.  Adding them individually seems to slow down the operation of the app.  I was unable to add my entire service at once. I was also unable to get the labels to appear. Some of my symbology did not appear correctly...or it was generalized until I zoomed in. The popup config left no option for inserting pictures or links related to fields.  I found it in the custom section...maybe there was more that I needed to configure in their. Again, I think much of this would be corrected if the entire service was brought in at one time as opposed to pulling in individual feature from the service. Really great widget regardless.  I'm planning on watching the development of this as it progresses. Thanks again! ... View more

No worries… I only found it because someone else was looking at it with IE. ~ Nick ... View more

No luck…same results. I updated the app that I sent you. ~ Nick ... View more

Hi Tim, I noticed a small glitch in the widget.  It seems when I load my app for the first time and open the tool for the first time it does not return the correct coordinates when I click on the screen.  If I close the widget and reopen it everything works correctly.  This can be replicated by clearing the browser cache.  After clearing the cache and reloading the site the problem returns, but only for the very first time the tools is used.  After closing the widget and reopening it it works correctly regardless if you leave the site and return. Here is a link to the site... gissites.co.centre.pa.us/java/webia It's not a terribly big deal....just thought you would want to know. Thanks, Nick ... View more

Tom, I noticed a little problem with the measure widget.  It seems that line & free hand line tools do not show the measurements in IE11.  They appear to work correctly in all other browsers.  Below is a link to the app. gissites.co.centre.pa.us/java/webia I've looked around in the code but I was unable to see any references to IE that I recall seeing in other code. Ideas? ... View more

Great… thanks! The one thing that I noticed was that when I changed the zoom level in the code it did it every time I zoomed. So, if I set those variables to 0.1 and I search for coordinates it would zoom into 1/10th of the current scale. Example… I would be at 400 mile scale and then after clicking on the get location button I would be at a 40 mile scale. I would type in another location while at the 40 mile scale and I would zoom into a 4 mile scale… and so on. I’ll let you know if the new version has the same behavior. Thanks for all the work on this…it really is a helpful widget. ~ Nick ... View more

Yeah… I changed the LocPoint and the zoomPoint to match. I used 0.01 and 0.0075 also seems to zoom to a reasonable scale. ~ Nick ... View more

Ok… so I think I figured out the WKID section of the widget. It appears that I had some remnants of the previous version lingering in my test site. I started with a copy and things are now working correctly with the wkid. However, I used ArcMap to give me coordinates for a location. I enter those coordinates into the widget. Everything converts correctly. I click on the get location button and it zooms me out to what appears to be the full extent of the globe. Pennsylvania is barely visible. If I click on the home button it has the location point in the correct spot, with the correct geocoded address. Again, everything appears to be working correctly with the exception of the zoom level. Every time I click on the get location button it zooms out further. ~ Nick ... View more

Tim, Looks like everything is working with a small exception. I found that I should not change the WKID in the UTM section. When I changed that things did not work well. When I left it as it is by default everything seems to work correctly, but when I click on the Get Location button it zooms me out… not in. So, the more I click on the button the further out I zoom. Where would I find the zoom level settings? ~ Nick ... View more

Ok…will do…thanks! ~ Nick ... View more

I can wait…thank you. ~ Nick ... View more

Wow…that would be great. Thanks again! ~ Nick ... View more

Hi Mark, I think the problem that I am having isn't that I cannot enter coordinates in SP... it's that the tool will not zoom to the location that I enter in either DD, DMS, or USNG.  The conversion works correctly.  I click on the button to the right and nothing happens.  When I change the base map to one that is in UTM projection it works correctly. So, if I'm reading your post correctly, it seems that you have a combo box to define SP vs UTM.  Is that what would zoom to the coordinates? ... View more
