That's how I set up that map. I think you can do this from Catalog too, by publishing the data directly to ArcGIS for Server but I'm not 100% certain on that. ... View more

I have followed you. If you follow me then we can message each other. Feel free. I am more than interested. ... View more

This is my biggest complaint about all of what ESRI is trying to do. They don't seem to be listening very carefully to their paying customers sometimes and requiring us to utilize an online service from them to access our own data just seems ridiculous. And quite overbearing... ugh! ... View more

Brian, do you know if WAB apps that are downloaded from the Developer edition are suppose to have an 'appID' property in the config.json file? I do not know this. I assume that they do but that they are added through the WAB? I'm just guessing here. Because of that point in the WAB app building process where you pick your AGOL map from the list. I think that adds the appID somehow. The WAB development edition help docs online indicate that they do have an 'appID' property, but the help docs on deploying an app are not very comprehensive. I have not been impressed with the WAB documentation so far, but maybe I have high standards? I don't know. Also did you add a proxy to your app. It seems like alot of work to set it up a proxy so I wanted to know. I did not add a proxy. Not even sure what the purpose of a proxy is nor why one would be needed. ... View more

Objects. That video sent me on a spiraling google-express to depression until... Introduction to AMD Modules - The Dojo Toolkit What is a module? A module is a value that can be accessed by a single reference. If you have multiple pieces of data or functions that you want to expose in a module, they have to be properties on a single object that represents the module. Practically speaking, it's overkill to create a module for a simple value like var tinyModule = 'simple value'; , but it would be valid. Modules start to make a lot more sense for modularizing your code - splitting it up into logical subsets for handling specific functionality. If you want to represent a person with information like name and address, perhaps even add some methods to your person, it starts to make sense to put all that code in a single location. A module is stored in your file system in a single file. I'm sure the developers working hard on custom widgets are chuckling at me, but this has eluded me from every tutorial I have watched and read on Dojo. Nobody has clarified this until something clicked just now. Basically... define({     library: 'dojo' ,     version: 1.10 }); The module becomes nothing more than a JS Object with two attributes in this instance. And... define( function (){     var privateValue = 0;     return {         increment: function (){             privateValue++;         },         decrement: function (){             privateValue--;         },         getValue: function (){             return privateValue;         }     }; }); The module becomes a JS Object with three methods (increment, decrement, getValue) that all manipulate a variable / attribute that is untouchable any other way. Everything clicked. Now... to the batmobile! ... View more

Watching it right now. Thx! ... View more

That is gorgeous... I also think I understand the majority of the code. Altho, I am more confused by the config stuff versus the javascript! What would be involved if I wanted to make this visible underneath the MyLocation button? It appears that those buttons are scaled/sized differently than the buttons across the bottom? Also, (trying to learn as much as I can here!) could I just make this a 'generic' button (unconnected to top or bottom widget groups) and allow the user to add it from the WAB so that it sized itself correctly? ...

My thoughts are simply a webcounter (if you will) showing each time a REST Service is hit. It would be GREAT if it could compile these hits into sessions. So that I could tell that USER X accessed the map, hit the REST Service 25 times (probably by scrolling or address locating) and access this REST Service twice via popups (I could tell popups because certain layers have popups and certain layers don't). ...

I have X-Ray. It won't give me the data dictionary under the View menu. My Local Government data model is in an Enterprise SQL SDE, rather than GDB, so I'm sure that's affecting it. But my point is, finding the Data Dictionary is like searching for the lost city of Atlantis. ... View more
