- 3.1.4 - Fixed a bug when an unsupported layer is encountered in the map an RTE (Runtime Error) occurs.
*3.1.3f - Fixed bug where if you specified a layer from the drop down any layer from that map service returned results anyway.
*3.1.3 - Fixed an issue where the URL is for the layer in the main config.xml and the one used in the IdentifyWidget.xml have to be the same exact CaSe. - Fixed a Bug where link field names still required the Field Alias name and not the actual field name.
*3.1.2f - Fixed bug when disablelayerdropdown is set not results are returned in some situations.
-
3.1.2 - The use on the name tag for layers is now just an alias for what you want to appear in the dropdown list and as the title of the identify results. It is no longer required to be the exact name of the layer as specified in the REST Service directory.
- Each configured layer requires a url tag and an id tag. This is how this new version knows how to match the identify result to a layer that you have configured.
- The field element name is now the actual field name and NOT the alias name of the field as it was in all previous versions.
- Each excludelayer requires a url tag and an id tag. This is how this new version knows how to match the identify result to a layer that you have configured to be excluded.
- If a link field is null the hyperlink or icon or image will not be included in the results.
- You can disable the configured layer selection drop down list completely and it will not appear in the widget.
- You can disable just the All Layers as a choice from the drop down list and force your user to select only one layer at a time for identifying.
- You can disable popups for result graphics by using enablegraphicclickinfo.
- ArcGIS Online FeatureServer layers are now supported.
- Less traffic goes to the server as checks are made to see if layers require identification based on configuration.
- FeatureLayer types are now using QueryTask instead of trying to change the layer type to a dynamic map service so that the IdentifyTask can be used.
- Results are sorted in the in map layer order (i.e. the top most layers results are at the top of the results list).
- Because of the major changes configuring the identifying of Raster layers are now supported.
- You are warned with a popup if you fail to read these instructions first and do not update your old IdentifyWidget.xml file.
-
3.1.1 - Fixed an issue with attempts to identify hiddenLayer_s and featurelayers with no urls
- If the identify task fails the message with remaining layers to identify decrements properly.
-
3.1 - Recompiled for Flex Viewer 3.1

2.5.8 - Fixed issue with cached/tiled layers not returning identify results.
- Fixed issue with greater than and less than symbols in identify results.
- Now uses the ProxyURL from the main config.xml and does not require you to add httpproxy to the IdentifyWidget.xml.
- Removed ability to copy from results (due to the negative effect on performance of item renderer and occasionally not drawing text). You can copy the results from the popup.

2.5.5 - Verified and tested with Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Required for Flex Viewer 3.0)
- Added infoautoclosemilliseconds to xml to delay closing the info window when moving from the results to the infowindow the infowindow does not disappear before you get there.
- Added excludebasemaps as an option to the xml.
- Fields have been broken out to individual field elements like most other widgets. This allows for field aliases to be assigned to fields that will override the alias from the map service.
- You can now specify that a field is popuponly which means that it will not be displayed in the widgets results item renderer.
- The widget results item renderer has had a good overhaul and uses less space and other significant optimizations.

- Fixed zooming issue when clicking on a record. -Fixed Issue with < and > symbols in the PopUpInfo window.
//BETA////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // - There is a portion of this widget that is BETA and it is a fix for the returned geometry. // // The API/REST has a bug that is documented and randomly returns geometry in its original // // spatial reference when layer ids are defined.

- 2.3.1 - Old default behavior of the identify widget becoming immediately active has been removed
- Widget has been updated to look and act more like standard esri widgets
- Widget now uses PopUpInfo new in 2.3 API
- Allow for the linkicon url for come from the iconsuffix only or iconprefix only or to be concatenated with iconprefix and an iconfield and the iconsuffix. What this means is you do not have to have an iconfield specified if you want to use a static icon just defined as a complete url in the iconprefix and/or iconsuffix

-
2.1.6 - This is a fix to the issue of not being able to click on the info popups hyperlink because it closes when you move off of the results record. Now you will have to manually close the info popup yourself.
-
2.1.5 - This version uses its own drawtool and not the map managers so that drawtooltips can be turned off and I could properly deactivate the tool when the widget is closed.
-
2.1.4 - Added option for only identifying the specified layers in the IdentifyWidget.xml. Fixed bug when identifying feature type layers that are pointing to a MapServer layer and not a FeatureServer.
-
2.1.3 - Moved the zoom2message inside the labels parent of the xml file - Added the keepidentifyactive has been added to allow you to specify that the identify tool will remain active after each indentify click on the map instead of the default behavior of defaulting back to map navigation.

2.1.2 A couple of enhancements
- Allow for a link field and a linkprefix string and a linksuffix so that you can have a field value of "hello" and the prefix string of "http://myserver/says/" and a suffix string of ".jpg"
- Allows the hyperlink icon to be customized in the same fashon as the link field i.e you can have a field that has a value of "littleblue" and the prefix string of "http://myserver/myassets/" and a suffix string of ".jpg"
- Individual layer zoom scales can be specified
- force scale when result is clicked option. The default way is if your maps scale is greater than the specified scale then it will zoom in, but if your maps scale is currently less than the scale than nothing happens. forceScale will zoom to the predefined scale either way if set to true.
- The zoom2message i.e tooltip that you get when hovering over a record is now an attribute you can change in the xml.
-
2.1.1 includes a fix to the hyperlink button on the results not working
It is a culmination of several different versions that I have produced for the last year or more for the Sample Flex Viewer 1.x.
This version allows you to specify particular layers of a map service to identify and the particular fields to display for those layers. This version also supports hyperlinks and truly honors the setting of visible in the xml configuration file. If you are using a featurelayer it will identify the MapServer that is the the same as the FeatureServer and just force indentification of the specified layer if there was one.
To install using the compiled version just copy the folder called Identify under the Widgets folder, and add this line to your config.xml
For the Uncompiled you need to copy the Identify folder to src/widgets then add IdentifyWidget.mxml to your flex projects modules list, and compile your project as well as add the widget line above to your config.xml.
