dynamic mapServiceType and setMinScale

[dave2016]

I have set up Geoportal version 1.2.6 on Windows and was getting an error on the Search page when mapServiceType was set to dynamic. The error said setMinScale was not a valid function. I edited gpt.js and commented out the line that called the setMinScale function and it worked. Did I set something up wrong or is that no longer a valid function?

Can you please provide the section changed in the gpt.xml to help reproduce the issue. thanks!

It was the gpt javascript file in the v1.2 directory. Here is the code, I commented out

service.SetMinScale(100000000000);

if (config.mapServiceType == "openstreet") { service = new esri.layers.OpenStreetMapLayer(); } else if ((config.mapServiceURL != null) && (config.mapServiceType != null)) { if (config.mapServiceType == "dynamic") { service = new esri.layers.ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer(config.mapServiceURL); // changed to JPG, because IE can not handle PNG24 properly (problems with paning) service.setImageFormat("jpg"); //service.setMinScale(1000000000);

We tried a few geoportal instances here, but did not observe the error, setMinScale is a valid function, if you have your geoportal instance available externally, please send us the url we can take a look. thanks!

Our site isn't available publicly yet. I believe I found the underlying problem. When livedata.js executes I get an error "ReferenceError: require is not defined". So I don't think any of the required modules are being brought in. I'm a bit surprised anything works at all. I'm trying to figure out why "require" is not working.

[dave2016]

Do you know if the dojo.js javascript file needs to be included somehow? There is not one that I can find in the geoportal directory hierarchy. There is one in the ArcGIS Server/ tomact hierarchy but I don't know how geoportal would find it.

[mhogeweg]

you should not have to include dojo.js explicitely as it is included in the ArcGIS JS API

[dave2016]

Does the ArcGIS JS API need to be set anywhere other than the interactiveMap section of the gpt.xml file?

[mhogeweg]

correct, you would set that only in the gpt.xml for the main geoportal web app.

Any idea why I am getting the "Reference Error: require is not defined" error? I've rechecked everything I can think of and searched the Internet numerous times.

[dave2016]

This is geoportal version 1.2.6. The first couple lines of the livedata.js file were

require([ "dijit/_Widget", "esri/layers/DynamicMapServiceLayer",

I changed the require line to

dojo.require([

and I no longer get the "require is not defined" error. However, I do get "_24.split is not a function". Any idea what might be causing that?

what is the purpose of changing the livedata.js?

I'm just trying to figure out how to make it work. I noticed that the livedata.js file in the v1.2 directory uses dojo.require instead of require so I made the change to see what would happen. It seems dojo.require has been deprecated and replaced with require. But I haven't figured out why that won't work for me.

For geoportal v1.2.6 what should the jsapiURL be?

[mhogeweg]

jsapiUrl="http://js.arcgis.com/3.13/"

That was the problem. I was using documentation for an older version of geoportal.
