ArcGIS flex viewer 3.1 Identify Widget

[ManuelRodriguez2]

I am fairly new to using custom widgets.  I have copied the compiled widget folder over and added the text the the config.xml file.  The widget loads correctly in the viewer but I can not get it to detect any features in the map at all.  Even with the  <layers onlythese="false">.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Andrew,

   So the widget does appear when you click the icon and when you one of the widgets identify tools to draw on the map no results are returned?

In you main config.xml I see one issue. There is currently no space between the config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml" and the label="Identify" This is poor xml syntax and would cause an issue.

        <widget url="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.swf" config="widgets/Identify/IdentifyWidget.xml"label="Identify" icon="assets/images/i_info.png"/>

The other thing I don't like is the extra forward slash behind all your MapServer urls "MapServer/" delete those extra trails forward slashes.

Thank I'll give that a try.

Hi Robert,
I made the changes to the code and still don't get any results from the Identify Tool from the Property Layer or any other.
Screen grab attached.

Andrew,

   When you leave the drop down list as All Layers does it return any results (make sure you are clicking somewhere you would get other data back, try using the select by rectangle tool)?

[AndrewIng]

Yes, I've tried every combination of tool and layer and still nothing?!?

I am having a similar issue.  I have a single layer plugged into the Identify widget.  When I click a feature, it highlights it and shows the fields in the widget window.  However it will not populate the field with the attribute data.  The fields are configured with the name of the field according to the rest endpoint and I have given an alias to the field as well.  I have tried everything I can think of to try to solve the problem. 

I have attached a screenshot of the widget in action in my viewer and I have pasted in the .xml file below if anyone would like to take a look and offer any suggestions.

Darryl,

   Using exactly what you posted (even though there is an error in your commenting you need to work on.) I was able to identify your parcels using my latest version of the identify widget.

[TristanKnowlton]

Well this is a fantastic problem.  Thanks for checking Robert!

Andrew,

   Can you start a new site in App builder and add the identify widget and maybe just one of the map services you want to identify as an operational layer and then in the identify widgets config file to this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
    <identifylayeroption>all</identifylayeroption>

    <enablepolyselect>true</enablepolyselect>
    <enablemouseovergraphicsinfo>false</enablemouseovergraphicsinfo>

Hi Robert,
That code worked. When I use to Identify widget it returns all information for operational and basemap layers. If I set  <excludebasemaps> to true nothing gets returned and if I add my layer information I get an error.
