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.

Iossif,

Thanks for reporting this I will look into it.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Iossif,

I did find an issue with the export option button labels and that will be addressed in version 3.1.8. The print button is localized by the viewer and thus does not need a label in the XML.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Iossif,

As a quick fix until the next version comes out with the fix for the export2csvoptionlabel and export2txtoptionlabel issue you can change the export2csvoptionlabel to export2csvbuttonlabel and export2txtoptionlabel to export2txtbuttonlabel in the eSearchWidget.xml and this will fix the issue for you.

Hi Robert

There are times when you just cant see it, and I just cant see it! My eSearch is working perfectly with the exception that results are being added to a floating grid but not to the fixed data grid at the bottom. I'm using 3.1.7 for 3.1. Can you suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Thank You

Eamonn,

I think you can use one or the other but not both at the same time,

Thanks Anthony

That makes sense. But I just cant see how to specify one or the other?

Eamonn

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Eamonn,

Sure there is a tag for that in the eSearchWidget.xml

<floatorfixed>fixed</floatorfixed><!-- possible values are fixed and float -->

It is covered in the doc as well.

EamonnDoyle

Got it, thanks for the replies!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

Version 3.1.8 - 2/5/2013
* Fixed Localization issue with export2csvoptionlabel and export2txtoptionlabel
* Added autosubmit to expression values to allow control over whether a dropdown list
automatically fires the search upon selection and textbox when the enter key is pressed.
The default is true if this attribute is not used.

Hi Robert, The datagrid doesn't show up for me not matter what I try. Can you please take a look at my code attached.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris,

Seems how you are configured for using the fixed datagrid did you add the fixed datagrid to your main config.xml in the UI elements section?

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

ChrisA

Robert,

Awesome, thank you !

That fixed it . . . I have a data grid. Love the Widget !

Robert,
I am using your lastest ESearch 3.1.8 (compiled) inside arcgis viewer 3.1. I have published a 10.1 service from a Sql Server 2008 SDE that has a single join to a table also in SDE. All works well as long as <fields all="true">. But when I use <fields all="false">, i get error [RPC Fault faultstring= "Invalid or missing input parameters." faultcode="400" faultdetail=""]. I have wasted an entire day, testing different parameters, changing formats, republishing services,etc. basically all i know to do, with my limited knowledge. I need another set of eyes if possible. I'm sure its something simple that im missing. If you could look over my syntax, I'd really appreciate it and I'd gladly reimburse your time with some adult beverages in Palm Springs

.

Beautiful widgets and excellent documentation.
Thanks alot for all your work,
Gerald

Gerald,

Your expression value:

<value prompt="Example: 091N C 00900">Parcels.GISLINK = '[value]'</value>

is searching against a numeric field so you do not need the speech marks:

<value prompt="Example: 091N C 00900">Parcels.GISLINK = [value]</value>

Regards

Anthony

P.S. If it works I will also be in Palm Springs for a beer 😮

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Gerald,
My initial scan of your configuration leads me to believe that this is your issue:

You currently have:

<value prompt="Example: SMITH JOSEPH">upper(CURRENT_GIS_OWNER_ADDRESS.NAME1) like upper('%[value]%')</value>

Should be:

<value prompt="Example: SMITH JOSEPH">upper(RuthLIS.DBO.CURRENT_GIS_OWNER_ADDRESS.NAME1) like upper('%[value]%')</value>

GeraldLee__GISP

Anthony/Robert: I've made both suggested changes but I'm still having the same error. Thanks again for your time.

I had originally changed those too thinking that might be the issue. I've changed them so many times ive lost track. But I'm still getting same error though.. I've done about every combo i can think of.. Only thing that works is when its <fields all="true"> its probably one lousy comma or space somewhere....

AntGiles

Gerald,

From what I can see you have fields coming from different tables in your fields area but you do not have any relates set up. Your fields need to come from the same layer.

Regards

Anthony

RobertScheitlin__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.

AntGiles

Sorry my mistake you have linked your feature class to a table in arcmap. Have you tried removing the linked table and see if it works

Regards

Anthony

GeraldLee__GISP

When I remove the joined table, all works as expected. This is what i tried without the join: works fine.. i thought about leaving it as <fields all="true"> and just commenting "visible='false' to fields i dont want. But there's probably about 75 fields. and even if i did that, All fields still appear in the infowindows 🙂

Hi Robert,
Same file attached, my test search is there but not enabled. I cannot type anything in the box. Is there a setting I'm missing. I tried <textsearchlayer>true</textsearchlayer> but that does not seem to make a difference.

Thanks,
Chris

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Chris,

I am traveling right now so I can not give you specifics but looking at your configuration you are trying to use an old the old format for your search expression. You need to look at the documentation as it should be (something like):

<expressions>
    <expression>
        <values>
            <value></value>
        </values>
    </expression>
</expressions>

ChrisA

Thanks for the direction. You were right again !

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.

I thought I would try and remove that field (PARCEL_TYPE) from the service and republish but I still get same error.
I thought this Parcel search by owner name and link number would be a 5 minute deal tops.
Update: After further investigation, I see that this fieldtype is numeric inside its arcmap attribute table properties but when I look at its domain properties, it's setup with field type "Text". Let me see if i can get someone to fix that first before anyone wastes more of their time..

Thanks again. i appreciate all help.

PhilipSlater

Hi Robert -

I am still running your esearch widget for flex viewer 2.5, and seem to be running into an authentication error when accessing the search results page from an esearch. I have Integrated Windows Authentication turned on in IIS, and the user can access the Flex viewer as a whole without entering credentials (they are passed automatically) but after the user performs a search they are forced to enter credentials. The correct credentials do not provide access however. This happens though out our intranet setup, and just want to verify that there is not something I am missing within the widget itself. I am not able to replicate the error on any machine I am logged into, but I have elevated permissions. If I enter my credentials on their machines I am still unable to authenticate.

Any help would be appreciated and if you need a couple screen shots please let me know. Thanks for your thoughts and opinions on this.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Philip,

This widget never made any claims to work with authentication until some of the latest versions for 3.1. I do not know even if my latest 3.1 version will work with authentication in the way you have it setup. Currently Token based authetication is the only type supported beside proxy server.

BobSolley

Robert, in previous forum posts you suggest that it's possible to pass into the esearch widget multiple values as a search parameter (see posts below).

I've updated the selection statement in the config file using the SQL IN "PLOT IN (['value'],['value'])" and used the URL string "index.html?config=test_bob.xml&slayer=0&exprnum-0&esearch=7SFG,I-27" to pass in the values.

I can see the values passed in the text search box, but in will not search for the 2 values.

Not sure what I'm missing here, or is it not possible to pass in multiple parameters via URL string?

thx bob

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Bob,

Your SQL expression would still be one value:

"PLOT IN ('[value]')"

Notice the location of the single quotes

Then you URL need to look like this:

esearch=7SFG','I-27 notice the single quotes surrounding the comma. The reason for this is easy to understand if you grasp the concept the the widget find and replaces [value] with the contents of the esearch variable in the url so your actual SQL that will get used would look like this when it it done replacing:

PLOT IN ('7SFG','I-27')

Because you searching strings each value in your IN clause has to be wrapped in single quotes.
