Add Data from URL about enviroatlas HOT 23 CLOSED

When you say Add data from Url do you mean from a published services of some type (Dynamic Map Service Image Services etc.)? There is an add service widget (https://geonet.esri.com/docs/DOC-6263) that seem to work well.

from enviroatlas.

Yes, that's what we mean - add service as rest or wms service
(raster,map,feature). kml is not as important.

The big bonus of Vincent's widget is being able to search for services in
ArcGISOnline, including non-public GeoPlatform items- maybe less of a
requirement for EA, but still kinda handy. also a requirement for EA.

So as we've learned, Vincent's widget does not do this, only the much older Esri Flex widget. We can possibly leverage that code. Barb has tracked it down.

from enviroatlas.

For the purposes of this ticket, let's go with a simple add from URL functionality. Add from GeoPlatform will be a separate issue down the road.

from enviroatlas.

Question, I have this widget added but one thing that I have found is that we have to add the domain of the service that you want to enable to be added to the widget config file. Here is a link that explains it (https://geonet.esri.com/docs/DOC-6263). I also looked at Vincent's widget and it look like it requires the same. If we want to use this widget is there a list of servers that we want to allow the user to add?

from enviroatlas.

Huh, that's odd. I guess we can experiment with wildcards, otherwise we
might have to do our best to enable a reasonable short list of known
servers and add some text to the UI that says to let us know if they find
one we haven't enabled. A little clunky, but doesn't seem to be much
choice. I'm not seeing anything in the widget that generates a friendly
error if a user tries adding a URL not on the list - maybe we could add
that as a contribution to the general widget community?

Possibly add ability to email EnviroAtlas support requesting new hostname with 1-click approach.

from enviroatlas.

In regard to the URL issue for the user's added service, would it be an option to start "tracking/recording" URLs the user adds to the Flex App?? Even sending an email with the user input? Might mean some modification to the code, but could be a way to start getting a list together?

from enviroatlas.

It might be possible to record the domains in a log.txt file through Flex code.

from enviroatlas.

Additional desired functionality - new ticket?

• Allow users to enter email address for notification from our team when URL has been added
• Do we need to warn about HTTPS?
• Add text to clarify different service types (short term) or autodetect service types based on URL characteristics (long term)

from enviroatlas.

Before we close this ticket, let's

• Add text to clarify different service types
• Allow users to enter email address for notification from our team when URL has been added
• Setup node mailer on leb server.

from enviroatlas.

How do you guys feel about the below for service types text:

Dynamic Map Service - Web service that generates maps
Tiled/Cashed Map Service - A cache of static images
Image Service - A raster dataset or mosaic dataset
WMS - A service compliant with the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) specification

from enviroatlas.

Wow - so hard to be concise without resorting to corporate jargon! You've done well, but somehow I do think it's necessary to specify that the Map and Image service are Esri or ArcGIS. And could we hyperlink? I'm looking at this page in Esri's help and thinking we could probably borrow from them, including their links to more info:
http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/create-maps/add-layers.htm

Dynamic Map Service - Esri ArcGIS Server Web service that generates maps (http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/arcgis-server-services.htm)
Tiled/Cashed Map Service - A Tile layer is a set of web-accessible image tiles that reside on a server. (http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/tile-layers.htm)
Image Service - Esri ArcGIS Server Web service that provides access to imagery (http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/arcgis-server-services.htm)
WMS - A service that follows the OGC Web Map Service specification. (http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/reference/ogc.htm)

Thoughts? Too much?

from enviroatlas.

That is a lot of content for that space. I like the idea of the links. I'm
going to stub that text in and see what it looks like.

I have the text in with the links (the links are images) and I think it looks ok.

Yeah, that looks great to me, thanks so much!

So one thing I may have missed is identifying when the user tries to add a service with http. I'm assuming we are going to need that?

yep, we will!

Above input box perhaps there could be text that says:

Enter full URL of service:

On error:

It looks like this service is not CORS-enabled (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing). Click below to send the URL for this service to the EnviroAtlas support team for further investigation. You may optionally add your email address to be notified when updates have been made.

from enviroatlas.

I like the suggestion of a more thorough description - and that it shows up "on error" . here are my edit's to Torrin's text:

"The service URL provided is not CORS-enabled (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing). Click below to send the URL for this service to the EnviroAtlas support team for further investigation. Including your email address is optional."

Also - if I can make a suggestion on the email box text? - change the wording above to say:
"For notification about the service inclusion status, please provide your email address."

just in case we need to reject something...??

And from yesterday's discussion of adding individual layers rather than the whole service... This was a new topic/request so do we make this a new issue?

Thanks!
