problem with formatter in identify

[shshwang]

I was following the cmv doc to add url links for one identify field. But it seems the formater function was not executed. The alert doesn't even show up. The popup window still shows the label and field value but no link. Any idea why it is so? I downloaded cmv 1.3.4 a year ago. Is it possible that I might miss some functions or module in order to use formater? Thank you so much for your help!
Cadastral: {
0: {
title: 'Parcel Information',
fieldInfos: [{

               fieldName: 'Tax ID',
               label: 'Tax ID',
               visible: true,
               formatter: function (value, attributes) {
                   alert('value');
                   var FBLink = "http://fbcad.org/Property-Search-Results?searchtext=";
                   var MLink = "http://mcad-tx.org/Property-Search-Result?searchtext=";
                   var HLink = "http://www.hcad.org/records/outsider/hc.asp?acct=" + value;
                   alert(HLink);

                   if (value.includes("R")) {

                       MLink += value;
                       return '<a href="' + MLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                   }
                   else if (value.includes("-")) {
                       FBLink += value.replace("-", "");
                       return '<a href="' + FBLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                   }
                   else {
                       HLink += value;
                       return '<a href="' + HLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                   }

               }
           }]

       }
   },

@shshwang formatters were not available in version 1.3.4. Documentation for that release is here.

You can download the current 2.0 beta version in development that includes formatters and dozens (or more! 😄) of additional enhancements here. The updated documentation (a work in progress) for this latest release can be found here.

@tmcgee Thank you so much for your quick reply! I actually played with the newer release too. Didn't get it to work yet. The popup window used the default field values instead of those specified in identify.js.
in viewer.js I have the following code

        }, {
            type: 'dynamic',
            url: 'http://mycity.houstontx.gov/cohgis/rest/services/PD/Cadastral_wm/MapServer',
            title: i18n.viewer.operationalLayers.cadastral,
            options: {
                id: 'cadastral',
                opacity: 1.0,
                visible: true,
                outFields: ['*'],
                imageParameters: buildImageParameters({
                    layerIds: [0],
                    layerOption: 'show'
                }),
                mode: 0
            },
            visibleLayerInfos: {
                layerIds: [-1] // Do not show any layers in default
            },
            identifyLayerInfos: {
                layerIds: [0]//
            }
        }

in identify.js

           cadastral: {
                0: {
                    title: i18n.identify.cadastral.parcels,
                    fieldInfos: [{
                        fieldName: 'County',
                        label: 'County',
                        visible: true
                         }, {
                        fieldName: 'Tax ID',
                        label: 'Tax ID',
                        visible: true,
                        formatter: function (value, attributes) {
                                alert('value='+value);
                                var FBLink = "http://fbcad.org/Property-Search-Results?searchtext=";
                                var MLink = "http://mcad-tx.org/Property-Search-Result?searchtext=";
                                var HLink = "http://www.hcad.org/records/outsider/hc.asp?acct="+value;
                                alert(HLink);
                                if (value.includes("R")){
                                    MLink += value;
                                    return '<a href="' + MLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                                }
                                else if (value.includes("-")) {
                                    FBLink += value.replace("-", "");
                                    return '<a href="' + FBLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                                }
                                else {
                                    HLink += value;
                                    return '<a href="' + HLink + '"target="_blank">{Tax ID}</a>';
                                }
                        }
                    }]
                }
            },

I also updated main.js for corresponding title values. There is no error message either. Do you have any ideas?

@shshwang there may be a new bug here when retrieving the info template for sublayer id = 0. I will investigate further.

[shshwang]

Thank you!
Also I can't make it to Dev Summit this year. Is it possible that you can setup a skype account for some of us to remotely join your meeting on March 8th 2017, 6:30pm to 8:00pm?

There's definitely a bug with the Identify on layer 0 for dynamic layers. It happens here:

//....
 getInfoTemplate: function (layer, layerId, result) {
            var popup, config;
            if (result) {
                layerId = result.layerId || layer.layerId; //<---- if result.layerId is 0, layerId becomes undefined
            } else if (layerId === null) {
                layerId = layer.layerId;
            }
