The simple version of this question is...

Can I trigger a specific layers popup / click response using a feature.geometry point?

The more involved version is as follows...

I have some simple maps, MyWatershed, Council Districts, etc. Currently the user opens the map, enters their address, and then has to click on the map to find out what watershed or council district they are in. I would like to circumvent that. I want the user to enter their address and then wherever that dot / popup (titled "Location") shows up, instead of showing it... trigger a click event / popup for a specific layer at that point.

I found the place in the Geocoder widget where this event gets fired...

/widgets/Geocoder/Widget.js : line 238

        if (feature) {

          this.map.infoWindow.setTitle("Location");

          this.map.infoWindow.setContent(content || null);

          this.map.infoWindow.show(feature.geometry);

  

        } else if (extent) {

          this.map.setExtent(extent);

        }

I "believe" that I can interrupt the this.map.infoWindow.show command, and step in and fire off a click even at feature.geometry instead. Still researching but if anyone has a better direction, please advise!

Brian,

  Try this:

          console.info(content);

          // First thing we need to do is convert the feature.geometry to a "mapPoint" object         

          var mpPt = feature.geometry;

          console.log( "Map Point is set." );

          this.map.centerAndZoom(mpPt,16);

          console.log( "Center and Zoom" );

          // Once we have the "mapPoint" object we convert it to a "screenPoint" object

          setTimeout(lang.hitch(this, function(){

            var scrPt = map.toScreen(mpPt);

            this.map.emit("click", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true, screenPoint: scrPt, mapPoint: mpPt });

          }), 500);

It looks like someone has figured this out.

You can 'value add' a 'mapPoint' and/or 'screenPoint' objects to the click event. I think 'mapPoint' might be the object you are looking for. I have done something like this (I am pretty sure that i am not doing  'screenPoint' correctly - that's why i am using mapPoint):

var scrPt = new Point(-122, 45.6);

var mpPt = new Point(-122, 45.6);

map.emit("click", { bubbles: true, cancelable: true, screenPoint: scrPt, mapPoint: mpPt });

So now I just need to find a way to convert feature.geometry to either a ScreenPoint or a MapPoint.

  Here is a sample using just JS API (not WAB stuff).

Okay Robert,

So I've modified /widgets/Geocoder/Widget.js : Line 239 as follows:

/widgets/Geocoder/Widget.js : Line 239

// First thing we need to do is convert the feature.geometry to a "mapPoint" object

var mpPt = feature.geometry;

// Once we have the "mapPoint" object we convert it to a "screenPoint" object

var scPt = this.map.toScreen(mpPt);

// The click event requires a screenpoint and a mappoint in order to fire.

// Now we fire that event.

this.map.emit( "click", { bubble: true, cancelable: true, screenPoint: scPt, mapPoint: mpPt } );

What I'm getting is a dual hit.

http://maps.cityoftulsa.org/jsdev/citycouncil/

If you type in an address, like mine, 4740 E 5th Pl in Tulsa, Ok it pops up two districts. But now that I'm zoomed in, if I do the same address search then I get just one. Ugh!

I wonder if zooming to that point FIRST would correct this situation.

Brain,

  Using your site and that address I only get one district...

I don't have enough facepalms for this.

Thanks for testing it Robert...

I'm thinking that after I get this cleaned up and make a settings page this would be a great upgrade for the Geocoder.

But we are getting dual councils popup for various addresses.

When I check out the Screenpoint and Mappoint variables I'm getting some distinctly different looking coords.

  1. mpPt: Object
    1. spatialReference: Object
    2. type: "point"
    3. x: -10685928.332287207
    4. y: 4321245.409954926
    5. __proto__: Object
  2. scPt: Object
    1. spatialReference: undefined
    2. type: "point"
    3. x: -25248
    4. y: 2027
    5. __proto__: Object

I'm almost certain that my duplicate council issues are coming from the two points being registered.

Maybe if I zoomed first and the generated the scPt and mpPt?

I am looking around for how to zoom to a feature.geometry, so once I get that figured out I'll do that THEN run the mpPt and scPt and emit.

Brain,

  Are you sure that the geocoded address is not returning two different locations? I would put:

console.info(content);

at line 239 and see if you are getting two results from the Geocoder

Great idea. I hadn't even considered that.

Just ran that code and I'm getting a single address.

Ugh!

My Code

console.info(content); 
  // First thing we need to do is convert the feature.geometry to a "mapPoint" object  
  var mpPt = feature.geometry;
  console.log( "Map Point is set." );
  this.map.centerAndZoom(mpPt,16);
  console.log( "Center and Zoom" );
  // Once we have the "mapPoint" object we convert it to a "screenPoint" object
  var scPt = this.map.toScreen(mpPt);
  // The click event requires a screenpoint and a mappoint in order to fire.

If I am already zoomed in to an area then the same address only gives me ONE Council...

But when zoomed out I get two for any address close to a border.

I was trying this on our Watershed map with similar results. Close to the border? Two results...

I had thought I could just adjust the bubble method to false, and fix it but I haven't read the documentation on it and it didn't do what I thought it did... lol...
