Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part II

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

I am pleased to announce the next release of my eSearch Widget.

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5d4995ccdb99429185dfd8d8fb2a513e

Version 2.5.1.7 - 4/19/2012
* Added ability to search (flat/standalone/no geometry) tables.
* This time all Zooming uses the same scaling (popup, datagrid, widget results, zoom to all).
* Added Relates icon/button to datagrids so that you can click on it in the datagrid to
open relates choice dialog.
* Move all skins to a skins package for cleaner organization.
* Links that are not associated with a field now work.
* Ability to disable the relates tab in the fixed widget is now configurable.

Can you have more than one uniquevaluesfromfield within expressions? I can't get it to work in the 3.1 version.

John,

Are you pulling the service from a 9.3.1 AGS?
I don't see it in the pdf anywhere, but if I remember correctly, the uniquvaluesfromfield requires a parameter that didn't exist until server 10.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Rhett,

You are correct in the fact that ArcGIS Server 10 or greater is need for the uniquvaluesfromfield to work. I will add that requirement to the documentation for the next release.

MattPohl

All,

New version available:

Version 3.1.9 - 2/19/2013
* autoopendatagrid is now honored by the fixed datagrid as well as the floating datagrid.
* Drop down lists no longer initializes with no item selected as they did in versions 3.1.7 & 8

Robert-

Thanks for adding this to the new release. I am able to get the first item to work (autoopendatagrid), but still cannot get a drop down to auto populate. Is this addition referring to this Post?

The code I am using is listed below (partial)

<expressions>
 <expression alias="Students" textsearchlabel="Choose All to select every student in that category:" isvaluerequired="false">
   <values>  
    <value prompt="Grade:" userlist="All,K,1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th" isvaluerequired="false" autosubmit="false">Grade = '[value]'</value>
    <value prompt="Race:" userlist="All,American Indian,Asian,Hispanic,Black,White" isvaluerequired="false" autosubmit="false" operator="AND">Race = '[value]'</value>
    <value prompt="Gender:" userlist="All,Male,Female" isvaluerequired="false" autosubmit="false" operator="AND">Gender = '[value]'</value>
    <value prompt="Free or Reduced Lunch:" userlist="All,Yes,No" isvaluerequired="false" autosubmit="false" operator="AND">FRL = '[value]'</value>
    <value prompt="Special Ed:" userlist="All,Yes,No" isvaluerequired="false" autosubmit="false" operator="AND">SpecEd = '[value]'</value>
   </values>
 </expression>
    
</expressions>

When I use this, I still get blank drop downs when the widget opens. Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks Robert,

Matt

RhettZufelt

Matt,

Perhaps you have something else wrong in the config?

I copy/paste your expressions in the eSearchWidget.xml and they populate the dropdown list just fine.

DanMiller

Dan,

You need to add
gap="-1"
to the SearchExpValueItem.mxml file at the very begining of the file in the VGroup.

Hi Robert,

That helped but didn't fully resolve it since the first Text example description seemed to have different spacing than the rest of the text examples and their input boxes. Here are the code changes I made that fixed it:

In file: eSearchWidget.mxml:
Added: gap="20"
in

<s:VGroup id="searchGroup" width="100%" paddingTop="3" paddingBottom="3" gap="20" >
        <Search:SearchExpValueItem width="100%" wTemplateWidth="{wTemplate.width}" />
</s:VGroup>

In file: SearchExpValueItem.mxml:
Added: gap="-1"
in

<s:VGroup xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" 
   xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark" 
   xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"
   width="100%" horizontalAlign="center"
   creationComplete="init(event)"
   gap="-1" >

and
Added: paddingBottom="10"
in

<s:RichEditableText id="prompt" text="{_prompt}" paddingLeft="2" paddingBottom="10" selectable="true" editable="false" tabEnabled="false"
tabFocusEnabled="false"/>

Robert,

Whilst upgrading our applications from server 9.3.1 to 10.1 I have noticed a difference in how the geometry services handles requests that do not specify an output spatial reference when using srs 4326

On a 9.3.1 and 10 server it returns the result in 4326:

http://sampleserver1.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer/buffer?geometries=%7B%0D%0A%22geometryType%22+%3A+%22esriGeometryPoint%22%2C%0D%0A%22geometries%22+%3A+%5B%0D%0A+%7B%22x%22+%3A+-104.53%2C+%22y%22+%3A+34.74%7D%0D%0A%5D%0D%0A%7D&inSR=4326&outSR=&bufferSR=102100&distances=20&unit=9036&unionResults=true&f=HTML

On 10.1 it returns the result in what I presume is web mercator

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer/buffer?geometries=%7B%0D%0A%22geometryType%22+%3A+%22esriGeometryPoint%22%2C%0D%0A%22geometries%22+%3A+%5B%0D%0A+%7B%22x%22+%3A+-104.53%2C+%22y%22+%3A+34.74%7D%0D%0A%5D%0D%0A%7D&inSR=4326&outSR=&bufferSR=102100&distances=20&unit=9036&unionResults=true&geodesic=false&f=pjson

If you provide an output sr it's fine:

http://serverapps101.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/Geometry/GeometryServer/buffer?geometries=%7B%0D%0A%22geometryType%22+%3A+%22esriGeometryPoint%22%2C%0D%0A%22geometries%22+%3A+%5B%0D%0A+%7B%22x%22+%3A+-104.53%2C+%22y%22+%3A+34.74%7D%0D%0A%5D%0D%0A%7D&inSR=4326&outSR=4326&bufferSR=102100&distances=20&unit=9036&unionResults=true&geodesic=false&f=pjson

Why am I mentioning this? Well it stops the apply buffer to search from working when using a geographic projection, I corrected it by setting the output SR on the bufferparameters to map.spatialreference.

Not sure if you have picked up on this, hope all makes sense,

Love all the enhancements your are making

Regards

Anthony

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Anthony,

Thanks for the heads up on this. I will include the OutSR in my buffer requests in the next release.

DerekHunter1

Robert,

I have configured this widget multiple times, but must have been out of the loop too long and therefore am missing something. I reviewed the readme, etc, but cannot get the fixed datagrid to populate. I'd like it to populate and the search result popup to not appear. My configs are attached...if you have any time to discuss.

Thanks as always for your valuable time.

Derek,

It looks like you missed step 3 in the Enhanced Search Widget Fixed Datagrid.pdf.

DerekHunter1

Robert,

Thanks for the quick reply. I did do step 3, but I had  as:

<widget left="0"   right="0"   bottom="0" url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidgetFixedDG.swf" config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidgetFixedDG.xml"/>

So, I switch url and config locations to:

<widget left="0"   right="0"   bottom="0" config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidgetFixedDG.xml" url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidgetFixedDG.swf" />

but made no difference. I attached a screenshot.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Derek,

OK, my bad I see it in the main config.xml now. The issue is that you have no fields setup to go to the datagrid.

Thanks so much.

AdamMcArthur2

I've deployed the widget and everything appears to be working just fine.

My only problem right now is when I use the "print" button, the resulting dialog is blank and nothing appears. Have you encountered this issue before and do you know of any fixes?

Attached is my config file.

Thanks!

GeraldLee__GISP

Gerald,

This is very strange indead... I have watched the query that is sent to the server through Fiddler and can see the issue is the outfields has "PARCEL_TYPE" tacked on to the end of the outfields list and I have gone though my code top to bottom and examined the FeatureLayers outfields and the Querys outfields and can not find where that is coming from. So My next step is attempt to reproduce this issue just using the Flex API and if I can, then submit a bug to the API Team.

Robert,Anthony
Just a follow up about this issue. Here's where it stands"

{Gerald,

Thanks for speaking with me. To recap, this is a bug with the Flex 3.1 application:

[#NIM083086 Flex Viewer Search widget fails when used on a map service layer containing a feature class with a subtype field and a join to another feature class or table. ]

If you have a subtype and join within the same layer in a service, the search widget will not work.

I�??ve attached this incident to the bug, and you can check on the status of the bug by going to the My Support page and clicking on the Bugs tab.

My Support:
http://support.esri.com/en/login

The workarounds are to remove the join or remove the subtype.

To remove the subtype, go into the properties of the feature class in Catalog > Subtypes tab > and for Subtypes Field, choose None. This will remove the subtype.

I'll close this incident at this time but if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can reach me by replying to this email or calling the support line at 888-377-4575 and referencing incident #1123036.

Regards,
Jon Q.}

Adam,

Are you using Google Chrome?... If you Google "Google Chrome Print Issues" you will find Lots of issues that Chrome has with their print preview feature.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Gerald,

Thanks for the update and NIM#. I have also reported it to the API Team and it is an ArcGIS Server issue and not an API Issue so it will probably have a much longer turn around to get get fixed.

Robert,

You were spot on. Tried the viewer in IE and was successful.

From now on I'm going to test everything in multiple browsers.

Thanks again!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

A new version is available:

Version 3.1.10 - 2/26/2013
* Changed appearance of multiple expressions to have an alternating background color so they are
easy to distinguish for one another.
* Fixed potential bug with buffering by adding spatial reference to buffer request. (thanks Anthony)
* Fixed RTE (runtime error) with Apply Buffer before a search is performed.
* Documented useproxy for layers.

CharmaleeSandanayake

I am using the enhanced search widget to create a parcel notification tool. It works great but after a bit of testing with the 3.0 version I noticed a potential issue with the buffer. When I use the select by point tool and buffer the graphic for 2 miles the resulting circle graphic is smaller than the one created when I use the point buffer tool at the same distance of 2 miles. The same thing happens in this sample with the newest tool:

http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.1/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml&esearch=2&slayer=3&exprnum=1

The attachment may clarify what I mean.
Is there a way to get the buffer distances the same?
Thanks

bufferissue.docx

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Charmalee,

The spatial reference of the buffer in the eSearch is controlled by the:

<spatialreference>102100</spatialreference>

And the spatial reference of the buffer in the Point buffer widget is controlled by the same tag in its config file:

<spatialReference>102003</spatialReference>

Notice the defaults for these two widgets are different. You need to choose a spatial reference that is best suited for your data.

CharmaleeSandanayake

Thanks Robert! Changing the spatial reference to 102001 or 26917 for my area lined the buffer exactly up with the scale bar.

Hello,

I am trying to add the enhanced search widget as a custom widget in the Flex Application Builder. When I try to add it I receive the following error: "Custom widget import failed: Cannot transfer module and widget files to template folders: Error #2038". In searching I haven't found any info on this error. Has anyone else run into this or have any suggestions on how to resolve this? When attempting to add the file, I am adding the zip file inside of the For_AppBuilder3.1.

Thank you.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Lisa,

I have NOT seen this and I just tested and could not duplicate your issue.
Are you sure you are using App Builder 3.1?

I thought it might be the standard permissions elevation issue people run into (Where you have to right click on the app builder icon and choose run as Administrator to give it write permission to the inetpub directory), but that did not make a difference as it added the widget for me without elevated permissions.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

A new version is now available.

Version 3.1.11 - 3/2/20123
* Fixed RTE (runtime error) with related data when relate has subtype.
* Graphical search buttons now toggle.
* Applied workaround for Google Chrome datagrid printing blank page issue.

AdamMcArthur2

Is there a quick way to change the color/opacity of the selection when searching with the widget?

I've only been able to change they symbol within the widget, but not the selection from the widget if that makes sense. I'll keep searching and testing.

Any help is appreciated.

- Adam

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Adam,

I am not sure what you are asking... Can you provide screen shots and use a paint type program to highlight/annotate what you are asking about?

AdamMcArthur2

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22410[/ATTACH]

Adam,

I am not sure what you are asking... Can you provide screen shots and use a paint type program to highlight/annotate what you are asking about?

I apologize for not being succinct in my description before. I attached the screenshot showing what I'm talking about.

Basically, whenever something is highlighted from the esearch widget, I want the highlighting indicator outline to be darker/more opaque. That way the selected parcel sticks out more on the map.

I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I can't seem to find the piece of code that changes this.

Thanks again.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Adam,

It appears that you are talking about the 3.0 version of the widget. Is this correct? It will help if you let me know in advance that you are talking about an older version. You can determine the exact version of the widget by holding the Alt key and clicking on the widget title. If you are running a 3.0.x version of the widget and it is not 3.0.17f then you need to redownload the widget.

AdamMcArthur2

Hello Robert,

I upgraded to the newest version of the widget today (your most recent release), and it solved my issue. If I have any other issues in the future I will be sure to include which version of the widget and flex viewer that I am using.

I appreciate your patience.

Have a good day.

LisaArnold

Lisa,

Hi Robert,

I am using App Builder 3.1. And yeah, choosing run as Administrator did not make a difference. What's odd is when I go back in to the Application Builder later, I see the enhanced search widget is actually there, but it shows a broken link image for the icon, and when I go to edit the widget in the Application Builder the Widget Settings screen only shows <configuration/>, and not all the xml.

I tried adding Esri's example Heat Map Widget just to see if I could get any custom widget to work. When I try to add it I receive a different error "Custom widget import failed: Could not find widget SWF." Not sure what that's about as I am using the supplied zip file for app builder.

If you have any other suggestion on what I might try I would appreciate it.
