Click to Identify a map feature in 1.2?

Permanently deleted user

I am trying to create an HTML 5 viewer for the first time.  I want the user to be able to click on a map feature to open an attribute info window.  Is this possible?  I have the layers set up in the Site, with maptips on (but not working), and Allow Identify Operations on for both layers.  But when I launch the map and click on a feature nothing happens.

I tried looking at the Admin and Developer guide, and there is something about a FeatureDetails Module, but no actionable information on what to do with it.  I also checked the JavaScript API site, but I couldn't find anything there either.  I opened the Dekstop.json.js file in the Resources/Config/Default folder, and found the FeatureDetails module, but I have no idea what to do with it.  I am obviously totally not understanding how to use set this up.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Mike

    Nothing much works on your site besides the zoom in and out.  The I want to menu does not open...  If you search the JSON file for module "Results" and set it to:

     "resultMappings" : {

     

                        "Identify" : [ "ShowResultsList" ],

     

                        "MapTip" : [ "ShowResultsList" ],

     

                        "Workflow" : [ "ShowResultsList" ],

     

                        "Search" : [ "ShowResultsList" ]

    you might get what you want...

    Thanks for the help, Mike.  I had several problems - I think my site was malfunctioning, or the viewer (like you said, the I want to menu was not working).  Also I was trying to edit the wrong Desktop.json.js file - there is one in the inetpub/wwwroot/{html viewer}/Resources/Config/Default folder as well.

    So I created a new site, a new viewer, and set the MapTip property in the Desktop.json.js file to ShowResultsList as you suggested (from ShowMapTipResults).  Everything else was the same.  Then I turned on MapTips in the Site:Map:Layer properties.  It seems to work now.

    My only other question would be - how did you know to do that?  I seem to be missing the reference guide that explains those settings.

    Thanks again,

    Mike

    Can't remember.  I didn't like the way Map Tips worked, especially early on, so I was asking questions on the forum and the developers.  I was also playing with the JSON files, so maybe I just stumbled upon it...  But yes, better documentation would be nice...

    Q:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\"your site"\Viewers\"your mobile viewer"\VirtualDirectory\Resources\Config\Default\Desktop.json.js , Handheld.json.js , Tablet.json.js

    I changed the onClick in the .js files to "onClick" : [ "Identify", "ClearDefaultHighlights" ], from "onClick" : [ "InvokeMapTip", "ClearDefaultHighlights" ],.

    I know this post is old, but that fix worked for me too. Now I'm also looking for how to identify a feature AND show its details by clicking the map. Any idea how to add that second step?

    John, did you come up with anything?

     

    I want to be able to identify on click without using the identify tool.
