Robert -- we are looking for a way to force a specific Search Layer based upon a url parameter onOpen. ... View more

Yes, our requirement was to only download the features after a saved date (which gets updated and saved in a config file each time this whole process is run so that the consecutive runs only pickup data from the last execution).  Be sure to check your date formatting and also verify your token is being added.  Here's an example of what we've implemented: #"CreationDate" is the date column to query on def checkForUpdatedFS(taburl, uname, pword, inputDate):     if taburl != '':             try:                 tokenURL = 'https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/generateToken'                 params = {'f': 'pjson', 'username': uname, 'password': pword, 'referer': 'http://www.arcgis.com'}                 reqp = urllib2.Request(tokenURL, urllib.urlencode(params))                 responsep = urllib2.urlopen(reqp)                 datap = json.load(responsep)                 token = datap['token']             except:                 token = ''     params = urllib.urlencode({'f': 'pjson', 'where': "CreationDate>'{}'".format(inputDate), 'outFields': '*', 'token': token, 'returnGeometry': 'true'})     req = urllib2.Request(taburl + "/query", params)     gresp = urllib2.urlopen(req)     gdata = json.load(gresp)     rCount = (gdata['features'])     return len(rCount) dFormat = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' writeDateVal = datetime.strptime(maxDateConfig, dFormat) writeDateVal = writeDateVal + timedelta(seconds=1) #datetime.timedelta(0, 1) #add 1 second writeDateValFinal = datetime.strftime(writeDateVal, dFormat) #wr #test to see if we have any surveys to process using the last submitted date value recChk = checkForUpdatedFS(serviceName, inputUsername, inputPswd , maxDateConfig) if recChk>0:     print recChk     print 'There are {} surveys after {} to process.'.format(recChk, maxDateConfig) ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Robert, Thanks again!  I was struggling with making your solution/suggestion error-free and found the issue (pretty typical struggle for me, not sure how else to pick these out faster, I think I'm getting a bit better tho).  It finally makes it to qStr and I believe sets the definitionExpression as desired: var geom = result;‍ Should be var geom = result.geometry;‍ ...

Robert -- I'm marking as correct cause I don't doubt this is what I need to implement.  Still working thru a problem of "result" = undefined and causing an issue setting the wpGeometry var.  I'll see if what I'm doing wrong there. def.then(lang.hitch(this, function(result){                 debugger                 if (result) {                     var geom = result;                     var wpGeometry = geometryEngine.geodesicBuffer(geom, -20, "meters");                     var query = new Query();                     query.outFields = ["*"];                     query.returnGeometry = true;                     query.outSpatialReference = this.map.spatialReference;                     query.geometry = wpGeometry;                     debugger                     this.funcLocLayer.queryIds(query, lang.hitch(this, function (objectIds) {                         var qStr = this.funcLocLayer.objectIdField + " IN(" + objectIds.join(',') + ")";                         this.funcLocLayer.setDefinitionExpression(qStr);                     }));                 }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

I don't know how I missed that. Thank you ... View more

Thank you for that!  I never would have thought to implement what you did there with the Deferred.  So many unknowns.  Overwhelming really. Is there an ending ")" missing for this? this.workplanBoundaryLayer.on("load" lang.hitch(this, function(){ I get an "expected ;" error here on the second ")": if(!this.workplanBoundaryLayer.loaded){ this.workplanBoundaryLayer.on("load" lang.hitch(this, function(){ def.resolve(this.workplanBoundaryLayer.graphics[0]); })); //error on this line says "expected ;" }else{ def.resolve(this.workplanBoundaryLayer.graphics[0]); } ...

It's very unclear to me how to .execute on the queryTask without having to jump to another showResult function.  Also, I haven't found how to replace the query.where with a query.geometry property. Do you have any examples of querying with the geometry? ... View more

Good point. ... View more

I have two polygon Feature Layers: FeatureLayer1 always has a single(1) polygon feature. FeatureLayer2 has thousands of polygon features. Requirement: Apply definition query/expression to FeatureLayer2 so that the only features available (throughout the entire session) in the map are those that intersect with the single polygon in FeatureLayer1. ...

hmm.  So I will need to first select on funcLocLayer, collect OID's and then use those to setDefinitionExpression on that same FeatureLayer?  ... View more

You're an amazing resource. I was looking for a specific function in the WidgetManager to remove/destroy the widget, will have to take a bit to digest the solution you've provided! Much appreciated. ... View more

Yes!  Much appreciated. ... View more

Sorry -- yes, Launchpad theme, WAB Dev 2.7 Also, I started a new thread so as to provide points for answers! https://community.esri.com/thread/214625-open-widget-from-scalebar-widget ... View more
