LocalLayerWidget Version 2.5 and AccessifizrWidget Layer - 09/28/2017
Hi Robert,
The functionality of your widget is substantially different than that of Adam's widget. Will your widget supersede Adam's? Will his github page go away and be replaced by yours? I hope so. Having two similar widgets is very confusing. And this thread is a real mess, difficult to read, as it contains about 5-6 mini threads, each with its own set of replies. Perhaps I should start a new discussion....
Issues with WAB app built using your widget:
1) The attribute widget does not work at all with the services added using your widget. No attributes are displayed from any layer. All my services are unsecured.
2) Sublayers of a dynamic service cannot be turned on and off individually. If one is turned on, they all come on. Only way to turn them off is by turning off entire dynamic layer. This is the same with Adam's widget. I have several hundred sublayers and sub-sub-layers in my service, so there is no way I can add each layer individually as a feature layer.
3) Install instructions need to be modified as I wrote in post above. default2DApp\config.json entry for widget should be thus:
{
"uri": "widgets/LocalLayer/Widget"
}
after renaming widget directory in \client\stemapp\widgets directory to "LocalLayer."
4) Feature layer "fieldinfo" pop-ups don't work properly. This code in config_Local Layer Widget.json
| { | |
| "type": "Feature", | |
| "url": "http://myserver/arcgis/rest/services/usminmap/SGMC_March2014_Geology/MapServer/1", | |
| "name": "Geology (State Geologic Maps)", | |
| "opacity": 0.55, | |
| "visible": false, | |
| "popup": { | |
| "title": "State Geologic Map Compilation", | |
| "fieldInfos": [ | |
| { | |
| "fieldName": "State", | |
| "label": "State", | |
| "visible": true | |
| }, | |
| { | |
| "fieldName": "Generalized_Lithology", | |
| "label": "Generalized lithology", | |
| "visible": true | |
| } | |
| ], | |
| "showAttachments": false, | |
| "tr": null | |
| }, |
produces this pop-up
Note that there is no value for the State attribute displayed. I assume other attributes added to the pop-up will also not have values displayed. Note that this Feature layer is a tiled (cached) service.
5) It looks like Feature layers are always on top no matter what. I need to have dynamic layers overlying a feature layer, and this seems to be impossible.
I realize that some of these issues may be caused by Server 10.3 and/or WAB Dev itself, not the widget. I've only added a few services so far using your widget. As I add more, I'll post back if I find any issues with them.

Awesome, Robert! I'll try that out now. I assume that I should still add this item to widget version 1.2?
Cheers,
Barnaby
Edit: Robert, the lOptions.outFields = ['*']; code is already in the widget.js for version 1.2.
Edit 2+: Yep, in widget version 1.2, now all checked fields are displayed for pop-ups in a Feature service!!!!! 
So issues 3 and 4 in my post are now solved. Great work! I haven't yet added the "visible": false" line to \client\builder\predefined-apps\default2DApp\config.json, and the widget appears to work perfectly in WAB DEV. Are you sure I need that? What is it for? I do want the widget to be visible in WAB when editing apps...
Sublayers of a dynamic layer can now be turned on and off individually as in Flex for Regional Studies service, but not for other, simpler dynamic layers (Landsat 7, Landsat 8, and ASTER). Pop-ups do not work for any of these dynamic layers, as they contain mainly thematic rasters (same as Flex). The Legends display for sublayers of the Regional Studies dynamic layer, but not for the Landsat and ASTER dynamic layers. This behavior is the opposite of that of widget v1.1.
Can you get the Legend to display for this service if it is added as a dynamic layer? I cannot.

The legend displayed normally in widget v1.1. ??? The weird thing is, the Legend is displayed normally for individual sublayers of the Regional Studies dynamic layer
http://cmerwebmap.cr.usgs.gov/arcgis/rest/services/usminmap/Regional_Studies_pub/MapServer
I am completely confused by that...
Edit 3: Note that a tiled service (a geodatabase of nationwide vectors in this case) added as a Feature layer using the widget draws very slowly. The same tiled service draws instantly when it is part of an AGOL Web Map added to a WAB Dev app. 
Ok, I think I have discovered what is preventing sublayers of dynamic layers being turned on and off individually, AND what is preventing legends of dynamic layers from displaying.
Case 1: A service is published in which the top layer is On in ArcMap:
Note that the top-most "Landsat 7 ETM+..." layer is On. When this service is added as a dynamic layer using widget 1.2, its legend will NOT display in the WAB app, and its sublayers CANNOT be turned on and off individually. All sublayers are always on, and can only be turned off when the entire layer is turned off in WAB layer menu. Since multiple sublayers are on, WAB doesn't know which sublayer to display a legend for:
Case 2: A service is published in which the top layer is Off in ArcMap:
Note that the top-most "Landsat 7 ETM+..." layer is Off. When this service is added as a dynamic layer using widget 1.2, its legend WILL display in the WAB app, and its sublayers CAN be turned on and off individually:
Is there a way to fix this so that sublayers of dynamic layers can be toggled on and off normally whether the top-most layer in the service is on or off when published?
Best regards,
Barnaby
