Hi,

I thought attaching a file or photo to an editable feature layer is now an option with the latest Silvelight & HTML5. If so, where will I find that option?

Thanks,

edi

  Hello Edgardo,

  The option to attach a file or photo to a feature should appear in the Actions section of the results view when an editable feature is selected. Of course, the feature class must have attachments enabled for this option to show.

  Can you verify that you have enabled attachments for the specific feature class?  Please refer to the following for the steps required:

  Hi Jon,

  I thought I saw that option to enable attachments but could not recall where. Can't seem to find it.

  Hi Edi,

  The option you're looking for is actually called "Create Attachments". To find it in ArcCatalog, right-click on your feature class, select Manage->Create Attachments.  After performing this step you will have to republish your service.

  I have completed the steps necessary to attach files/photos.  i see the option in my 'Actions' tab in Geocortex 4.0, HTML5 2.0.  When I try to select a photo or file to upload I get the following error, "File attachment failed. Forbidden".....not sure what the issue is.  Anyone else experienced this issue?  Were you able to overcome it?  How?  Thank you.

  Hi Sean,

  When you upload an attachment, it is sent through the proxy page (proxy.ashx).  If you haven't yet configured your proxy page to permit proxying to the server that contains the attachments, you'll have to add it to the proxy.config file to allow this to happen.

  If you run Fiddler when you try to add the attachment, you will see the which request is returning the Forbidden error.  If it's a 403 Forbidden returned from proxy.ashx, then simply configure the proxy page.  If it's a forbidden message returning from ArcGIS Server then you'll have to dig a bit deeper into the server config to determine why it is forbidding a new attachment.

  Regards,

  Thanks Malcolm.  I simply removed the proxy.ashx and everything worked.

  Adding http://<server>.com:6080/arcgis/rest/services to the proxy.ashx proxies the viewer to the addAttachment REST url and uploads the attachment to the database. This does not work with secured services though, which is what are after.

  We are using Microsoft's ARR solution. I have added it as well the proxy.ashx.  I am wondering if we need to add an inbound rule to the proxy on the ARR?

  After getting prompted for credentials once a user can upload attachments using the link:  https://<external.domain.com>/arcgis/rest/services/Mobile/Feature_Attachments/FeatureServer/0/22/addAttachment. However, the application calls https:// <external.domain.com> /Html5/proxy.ashx?https:// <external.domain.com> /arcgis/rest/services/Mobile/Feature_Attachments/FeatureServer/0/24/addAttachment

  You are prompted over and over to enter credentials here and it will not accept them and therefore can never add the attachment. Any ideas Malcolm? Thanks
