Enhanced Search Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All Here is my next widget in the FlexViewer 2.1 series

Special thanks to Erwan Caradec for contributing to this code.

The Enhanced Search Widget extends the standard search widget with a floating data grid and a new spatial query w/buffering.

Hello Nadeem,
has Robert merged my code for the spatial search to his enhanced search, the two original part of the widget dont use the same source for the spatial reference. The spatial search use the map spatial reference instead of the wkid set in the SearchWidget.xml. I'll report this problem to Robert, he will decide wich is the best solution.

Erwan.

Erwan,

Thanks for the clarification. I would like to request Robert too to find the best solution, but I will prefer the solution of using wkid in the SearchWidget.xml.

Robert,

We are using v 2.1.5 of your search widget. We have 1 search configured that works properly. The results listing shows the "TITLEFIELD" and 1 other field that we have aliased. We are having problems getting the results listing to work for 3 other searches. These 3 other searches use a layer that contains a join. The search works in that it finds the proper results, but the results grid is empty. (see attached image) Do we have to include the fully-qualified name for the TITLEFIELD? Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

Eric,

I don't work with joins all that often but as far as I remember yes you need the fully qualified field name in the xml configuration.

NadeemShaukat

Robert,

I would like to bring your attention to a minor glitch in the eSearch widget. Please refer to the attached graphic. When the widget is launched first time by clicking on the widget button, the Graphical Search is selected by default. But the window shows components from Text Search.

I do not where in the mxml to fix this issue.

Hi Robert - I am trying to modify your widget slightly by passing in the url as a variable from another widget I've created. The reason I'm doing this is that the user will only ever be able to view one layer (out of more than 100). I don't want them to have to scroll through a long list and I also don't want to have to list all of the layers in the xml file. Since all the layers have similar fields, it should work to make the url a variable and specify the remainder of the parameters in the searchwidget.xml file. To do this, I've tried to create a global variable class which looks like this:

package com.esri.viewer.utils
{
 public class GlobalVarContainer
 {
  public static var vars:Object = {};
  public static var searchurl:String = "" ;
 }
}

Then in my widget

import com.esri.viewer.utils.GlobalVarContainer;


//and within my function that specifies which map service and layer to display I try to pass the url //to the global variable searchurl

for each  (var item : LayerInfo in alllayers)
       
    {
     var lyrname:String = item.name;
     if (lyrname == qryname)
     {
      var lyrnum:String = item.id.toString();
      var urlstr:String = lyr.url + "/" + lyrnum;
      GlobalVarContainer.searchurl = urlstr;
      visibleLayers.addItem(item.id); // add id
     }

Then in SearchWidget.mxml

import com.esri.viewer.utils.GlobalVarContainer;

//and within private function init():void

for (var i:Number = 0; i < lyrList.length(); i++)
     {
      //var lyrURL:String = lyrList.url;
      var lyrURL:String = GlobalVarContainer.searchurl;

When I debug, I get the error in my widget "No such variable: GlobalVarContainer"

Any suggestions? I've read that trying to create global variables is frowned upon but I'm not sure how else to approach it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

Is this the tool I'm looking for if I'd like to select a parcel, enter a buffer distance and return a list of intersecting parcels that can be used to generate mailing labels? I couldn't get this to happen in the application provided. If not, is this functionality available in an existing template application?

ahargreaves_FW_0-1729016008986.png

ErwanCaradec

Kyle,
i think you could do it with this tool, the spatial search can intersect a layer with itself.

A example with Louisville parcels :
You can specify a parcel number in the where zone of visible entities to buffer (with a correct xml configuration of course), the buffer size, it returns all parcels intersected with the buffer.
You can then export the results in a csv file.

Parcels Layer configuration for this example :

  <layer>
   <name>Parcels</name>
   <url>http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Louisville/LOJIC_LandRecords_Louisville/MapServer/0</url&gt;
   <expression useforspatial="true">PARCELID like '%[value]%'</expression>
   <textsearchlabel>Search by Parcel ID  [ Example: 181001490000 ]:</textsearchlabel>
   <graphicalsearchlabel>Use one of the graphical search tools to select incidents</graphicalsearchlabel>
   <spatialsearchlabel>Select the two layers for spatial query</spatialsearchlabel>
   <spatialsearchlayer>true</spatialsearchlayer>
   <spatialrelationlayer>true</spatialrelationlayer>
   <titlefield>PARCELID</titlefield>
   <fields all="false">
                <field name="PARCELID" alias="Parcel Id" gridfield="true"/>
            </fields>
   <linkfield></linkfield>
   <icon isfield="true"></icon>
   <zoomscale>40000</zoomscale>
  </layer>

I noticed something which I hope is easy to fix because it is quite important to change. When doing a Spatial Search it only works for features that are actually inside the map extent....if a feature you are including in your search is outside of the visible map area then the tool returns no features. So, the tool only works for features inside the map extent.

This should be changed to work like the Text search which does not discriminate with inside or outside of the map extent.

Please help with this....somewhat urgent 🙂

Thanks!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Phillip,

I will make that configurable in the next release but until then all you have to do is search for this line in the searchwidget.mxml and comment it out.

queryGeom = map.extent; // select entities at screen extent

philippschnetzer

Thank you very much, Robert!

JayDira

For the buffer tool in the esearch. How can we change the units to Miles and Feet?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

JR Dira,

Just add then to the SearchWidget.xml file.

<bufferunits>
  <bufferunit>
   <name>UNIT_STATUTE_MILE</name>
   <label>Miles</label>
  </bufferunit>
  <bufferunit>
   <name>UNIT_FOOT</name>
   <label>Feet</label>
  </bufferunit>
  <bufferunit>
   <name>UNIT_METER</name>
   <label>Meters</label>
  </bufferunit>  
  <bufferunit>
   <name>UNIT_KILOMETER</name>
   <label>Kilometers</label>
  </bufferunit>
 </bufferunits>

JayDira

THanks Rob,

When I use the spatial buffer, it is providing me the wrong result.
Its seems that, when I do a 10 feet buffer, my results are everything on my current extent.
Any suggestions.
Thanks,

RobertScheitlin__GISP

JR Dira,

I can not duplicate your results. What is your spatialReference in your SearchWidget.xml?<spatialReference>102003</spatialReference>

Hi,

Great widget! I've seen it work for others but I can't seem to get it working.

When I try to do a search, I am also getting the error #1009, and not just on the layer I've added, but on all the layers included in the complied code (eSearch 2.1.5). I've reduced the number of fields being returned to one, to eliminate the possibility of nulll values and still no luck. I can see that there is data being returned, looking through httpfox, and when I click on the Results Data Grid button there is a list of results. However if I double click on a record in the Results Data Grid nothing happens. I've tried the same layer in the regular Search Widget and it works just fine.

Here is a sample of the content being returned, looking trough httpfox.
{"displayFieldName" : "own_name","fieldAliases" : {"parcel_id" : "parcel_id","own_name" : "own_name","Shape_Length" : "null","Shape_Area" : "null"},"geometryType" : "esriGeometryPolygon","spatialReference" :{"wkid" : 102100},"features" : [{"attributes" : {"parcel_id" : "16342550120000","own_name" : "ZENGER","Shape_Length" : 214.4211829759695,"Shape_Area" : 2805.131731608675},"geometry" :{"rings" : [[[-1.24477245087E7,4967175.067299999],[-1.24477244769E7,4967159.955700003],[-1.24477863521E7,4967159.823899999],[-1.2447786384E7,4967174.935500003],[-1.24477864178E7,4967190.8935],[-1.2447786447999999E7,4967205.1589],[-1.24477245725E7,4967205.2907000035],[-1.24477245087E7,4967175.067299999]]]}}]}

Here is the layer code:

<layer>
   <name>Parcels-Current Taxyear</name>
   <url>http://gis.slco.org/wwwrest/services/public/Recorder/MapServer/4</url&gt;
   <expression useforspatial="true">parcel_id LIKE upper('[value]%')</expression>
   <textsearchlabel>Search Parcel by Parcel ID... [ Example: 09333760080000]</textsearchlabel>
   <graphicalsearchlabel>Use one of the graphical search tools to select Parcel</graphicalsearchlabel>
   <spatialsearchlabel>Select the two layers for spatial query</spatialsearchlabel>
   <spatialsearchlayer>true</spatialsearchlayer>
   <spatialrelationlayer>true</spatialrelationlayer>
   <titlefield>parcel_id</titlefield>
   <fields all="false">
    <field name="parcel_id" gridfield="true" />
   </fields>
   <linkfield  linkprefix="" linksuffix=""></linkfield>
   <icon isfield="true"></icon>
   <zoomscale>4000</zoomscale>
   </layer>

Here is the call for the enhanced widget from the config.xml file

 <widget label="Enhanced Search" left="60" top="400"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
                config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>

What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure I"m over looking something simple.

Jarom

BarbaraPatterson

Thanks Robert. I had trouble getting this to work. I ended up declaring the public vars in index.mxml and then referring to them like this
this.parentApplication.searchurl

This seems to be working ok.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Jarom,
i've reproduced your problem with the public url of your service.
It seems that :
2.1.5 Compiled -> Ko
2.1.5 Uncompiled -> Ok
2.1.6 both compiled/uncompiled ->Ok

Robert published his last version (2.1.6 / 25 Nov) could you please try with this version ?

Erwan

jaromzenger

Thanks, Erwan.

It is working now with the 2.1.6 compiled version.

Thanks again,
Jarom

JayDira

JR Dira,

I can not duplicate your results. What is your spatialReference in your SearchWidget.xml?<spatialReference>102003</spatialReference>

Hello Robert,
That is the same spatial reference that we are using.
In addition we are using a bing aerials as a base if that makes a difference.
Thanks.

Are you sure you are using Version 2.1.6?

JR Dira,

Are you sure you are using Version 2.1.6?

Yes I am.
Our shapefile projection is Cal. State plane V. If that helps any.

Hi Robert,

I have added your enhanced search widget to my internal site and it is doing exactly what I need it to do. I have one search set up with 2 layers in it. The text searches appear to return the expected results in both the pop-up window and the grid. The graphical search returns the expected results in the pop-up but the grid does not. It repeats the linkprefix over and over as shown in the attached image. I have inserted the clip of xml code below in hopes that you will see my error. Thank you. Caitlin

Caitlin,

I actually found the error to exist in both the graphical and text search in my code. I will attempt to release a bug fix version ASAP.

JustinFultz

Robert,

Can you tell me how I can change the color of lines that are using the search widget. I have tried changing the color values in lines 361, 367, and 369 but that doesn't seem to do the trick.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Justin,

That is controlled in the activateSearchTool function
