no answers? no similar experiences? I'll try rebuilding my mxd from scratch... maybe it's another corrupted MXD???? ... View more

what is a traceback? I'm not a real programmer - just a GIS guy thrown into the possibilities of python. A lot of my script had to be fixed by a real python guy but he stopped when he said that the errors that are ESRI based are out of his "scope". If you mean the error messages it looks like this now: " Executing: batchMap4PMV Start Time: Thu Jul 31 13:38:22 2014 Running script batchMap4PMV... checking out inset map placement: None no inset map beginning layer filter of data frameLayers CROWN_LANDS_FILE = '2411100' Tantalis Files defined the lyr for Tantalis Files?

ps for the one-off my mxd is set to "CURRENT" but for the batch I did link it to the actual mxd file location "C:\blah\blah\awesome.mxd" The batch worked this morning until I added the "upper()" part. if you want to see the scripts you can get them at: ftp://ftp.geobc.gov.bc.ca/pub/outgoing/GeoBC_Regional/Coast/tmp_mapRobot/ thx ...

for some reason clicking on that link only goes to the Support Centre's home page. I had to copy / paste this "http://blogs.esri.com/esri/supportcenter/2014/03/26/8-easy-ways-learning-python-arcpy/" into the browser for it to get to the correct site. ... View more

thanks John & Jim for the suggestions.  I'll give them a try Apologies, you are adding a picture element to a layout. How about adding a new dataframe, add the picture to the dataframe as a raster layer, then set the background to transparent. You can also set the dataframe frame to no color, so visually the logo is free floating, as you can move the dataframe and hence the logo where ever you want to on the layout. Jim ... View more

Sorry I don't understand. I'm importing a PNG or a JPG or an EMF file for a company logo. When you right click on any one of those file types in ArcMap there is no "symbology select" that I can find. Can you provide more details? Under the symbology select "Display Background Value" box and enter the RGB value for the color you want transparent. Leave the background color fill as none.

That did the trick. Thanks everyone! ... View more

Sorry, can you explain. I don't understand. I thought I had copied Robert's version of the script verbatim. I'd attached my xml to the previous post. Can you tell me what needs to be removed? Robert's had 2 lines in red and I'm assuming you didn't mean to remove 2 lines of code. I tried removing </field> and that removed the popup error HOWEVER the original problem still remains - I still have commas in my number: 19,990,131 I had a typo in my config statement that Robert fixed in his post.  The format statement is a child of the field tag, so you can't terminate the parent.  Just remove the slash in red and should get rid of that error.

oops sorry. I sent you the link to the wrong dataset. It's this one : http://goo.gl/oDRIK the other one is missing the PRIORITY_DATE field. Unfortunately the GUI doesn't have any options for output format in the same way that ArcExplorer Online does. Or at least it's not easily found by me yet. I've found the "popup" folder and made the changes as you've shown but I don't see any change in my flex app. it still shows the commas between the 000,000,000. The PRIORITY_DATE in the original dataset was set as a Number (Long) field. Unfortunately our service is internal only which is strange because the data is actually public, but because this is a pilot project, they've made all the services internal only. The original dataset can be downloaded here: http://goo.gl/2XM5E ... View more

The fields section on this link http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/index.html#/Pop_up_configuration_files/01m30000002q000000/  shows the avialable format options. R_ Ultimately, the change needs to be in the popup folder in your flexviewer folder on the server (which I suspect AppBuilder does for you).  So, for windows using IIS, would be something like \inetpub\wwwroot\FlexViewer_Map\popups\Popup_layer.xml ...
