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.

Hi Robert-
I updated to v3.1.11 last week and was curious if you could tell me how I can disable the toggle on the graphical search tools. That particular function is conflicting with a few other custom code changes I've made and the result is that I now have to click on a specific graphical tool button twice to select it for use. If it's possible I'd like to just disable the toggle function altogether - I've tried looking but I can't find where to do it. If it's not a simple change please let me know and I'll go back to v.3.1.10 for the time being.
Thank you,
~Michelle

Michelle,

It is pretty simple to find. I even have it commented. Look for "Allow button to act as toggle buttons" in the activateSearchTool function. Uncomment the two lines above that comment and then remove or delete everything in that if else under the comment.

I just upgraded to the latest eSearch release. Upon doing so, I notice a dark blue box, with no outline, around some of my searches. It only is showing up when I have a 2-part query, i.e. a sql statement with AND/OR in it. It shows up on the second box. The XML for the search for the graphic here is below. If this is intended, it seems weird. I'd like to go back to the old display. The queries do seem to be working fine.

<expressions><expression alias="Address" textsearchlabel="Search Services by Street Name and Number:" isvaluerequired="true"><values><value prompt="Example: 233" userlist="" isvaluerequired="false">ADDRESS = [value]</value><value prompt="Example: Flax Hill" userlist="" isvaluerequired="true" operator="AND">LOCATION like '%[value]%'</value></values></expression><expression alias="Account #" textsearchlabel="Search Services by Account Number:" isvaluerequired="false"><values><value prompt="Example: 11651" userlist="" isvaluerequired="true">ACCNT_NO =[value]</value></values></expression></expressions>

Nicholas,

It is absolutely intended... The alternating colors are intended to distinguish the labels and inputs of each expression value from one another. There is no option for going back to the way it was.

I am finally upgrading to the latest version of flex from version 2.5 and I am also upgrading to the latest version of this excellent widget. One element that I no longer see listed in the documentation is linkfield. I was using this element to provide an external link for each parcel, so the contents of this element looked like this:

<linkfield linkprefix="http://externalurl..." linksuffix="">PIN</linkfield>

The PIN field is our parcel number and we have a site that has a PDF document for every parcel in our database.

Do I now need to use a field element to do this? Like this portion of the sample file?

<field name="agree_with_incident" alias="Website Link" hyperlinkgridfield="true" hyperlinkaliastext="Go to Website" 
linkprefix="http://someWebSite/aspx/web/details.aspx?p_entity=" linksuffix=".aspx"/>

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Micah,

There has been LOTS of changes since then. If you are try to add a link field in the datagrid then yes the xml you referenced is what you need. If you want a link in the widget results/popups than you nee to use the links tag:

            <links>
                <link alias="View Traffic Photo" disablelinksifnull="true">
                    <![CDATA[{URL}]]>
                    <icon><![CDATA[assets/images/i_camera.png]]></icon>
                </link>
            </links>

Hello,

Thank you for your contributions to ArcGIS Viewer for Flex, Robert.

I am upgrading our site from 3.0 to 3.1. The eSearch widget is being used on our 3.0 site. It is working well in 3.1, but I am having a minor change in behavior with the symbology. I'm new enough to Flex that I still don't know the terms, but there is a sort of buffered shadow that has been applied in the 3.0 version that shows up in the search results box and in the selected feature on the map. In the 3.1 version, it continues to show up in the search results, but no longer shows up in the map. All of the symbology is drawing as I want it to, save for that.
Somewhat connected to this is that when I use the print widget to print (I am using the ExportWebMap server task option), it apparently ignores transparency and outline symbology, so I will get, for instance, a flat red polygon fill with something like that standard ArcGIS selection color, when it is displayed exactly as I want in the map. Is this something with the widget or how I am configuring it, or is there another area in Flex that I should be hunting down?

To be honest, I did copy the configuration from 3.0, but I read the instructions and tried to observe the changes in tag spellings/usage after I did so.

Corey,

OK, in the next to last 3.0.x version of the widget I had an issue with the search results having a black glow, that was fixed in a 3.0.17f. In 3.1.x this was never an issue. The symbol displayed in each of the results has a dropshadow of black like all esri widgets do. The black glow that you liked on the features in the map (version 3.0.17) MOST people hated, as it did not allow for light colors like a white outline to actually be white on the map. As far as the printing... Can you post a image or pdf that shows this?

CoreySmolik1

Laughing. That bit really seemed to go over well, but I am certain I can adjust the symbology to the users' satisfaction.

I did a side by side comparison image showing what I'm getting. I had forgotten that the version 3 didn't draw the fill.

helps if I remember to hit upload on the image attachment

Corey,

Ya, the print still sucks. They did get the fill to work but still didn't get the transparency thing and the selection color is the default color in the print even though I set the selection color to NaN (not a number) in the widget... Sorry all those issue are esris not my widget.

CoreySmolik1

Thanks Robert, and no worries, I thought that might be the case. I appreciate your help on this and other topics.

I noticed! 😉

Thanks for the help on the link, that did exactly what I was looking for.

Is it possible to move the link icon to the middle right instead of having it at the end of each search result? Like this:

The screen shot is from version 2.5 of this widget.

Micah,

It was moved to the bottom because you can now have multiple links not just one and organizing them horizontally was easier for me. You really want them that way then that is why the source code is provided for developers to customize to their likes and needs.

Sounds good, thank you. Before I looked at the source code I wanted to verify that I wasn't missing something in the documentation.

Robert,

I've downloaded the latest eSearch 3.1.12 widget and noticed a new revision to the hyperlinkaliastext attribute. This is a cool feature but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I'm trying to display the value for a field but also use it as an hyperlink, for example:

<field name="JOB_NO" alias="Job No" linkprefix="http://server/blah/" linksuffix=".pdf" hyperlinkgridfield="true" hyperlinkaliastext="{JOB_NO}"/>

I tried typing in a different field for the hyperlinkaliastext as a test and it worked so I'm assuming that it doesn't work if the same field is used for both the hyperlinkaliastext and field name. Is this correct?

Thanks again for all the work you've done...

RobertScheitlin__GISP

James,

It should work with the caveat that the linkprefix and linksuffix will also appear in the hyperlinkaliastext if you use the same field.

Wondering if it is possible to make eSearch widget honor autoswitchtoscale when you click on the results and it zooms in? When I reach autoswitchtoscale by using navigation of scroll button (outside eSeach), I realize the correct autoswitchtoscale layer (like topo to imagery). However, when I click on a result from the eSearch tool at the Topo basemap level and it zooms to the autoswitchtoscale level, the switch does not occur.

Hi Robert,

I am using the compiled Enhanced Search Widget under Flex3.1 and it's awesome !

I am wondering if it's possible to format the search results and item popup such that the field names and data elements have justification ?

i.e have the field names and data elements justified such that they appear in a table-like format ?

Derek,

The autoswitchtoscale is working fine for me when clicking on a esearch result. do you have the eMapSwitcher widget in the main config xml as well as the eSearch Widget?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andy,

I will consider it as a possible enhancement to the 3.2 series of this widget.

Hi Ry and Anthony!

I have a similar problem but with a related (not join) table. I need to perform esearch over related data (relationshipclass 1-M at oracle geodatabase) returning/highlighting the features that match search criteria. So, any progresses or tips?

Or is it simply not possible? I am not an expert in programing I do need help on this one!

Thanks a lot

Suely

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Suely,

Searching a related table is supported but it is not currently supported to select the related features in the map for the table that is searched. This enhancement is being looked at though.

Robert,

Great, thanks ! It must be a labor of love for you and we appreciate how much work has gone into it.

I had a second question :-

Is it possible to disable the "popup bubble" that appears over the selected feature when a mouse hover is over the results ?

I like the feature being highlighted but would like to surpress the bubble.

Possible via config or is this a code change ?

Thanks

Andy

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Andy,

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

<popupsdisabled>true</popupsdisabled>

Searching a related table and highlighting the related features on the map is the MOST WANTED improvement that I am eagerly looking forward to (for me and i believe for others who work with large property parcel datasets where having all the attributes of the parcel in a separate table helps a lot with the performance of map drawing but also needed to do the queries on). I am checking the forum everyday to see if Robert will give us this present one day 🙂

Hi all -

I'm trying to style Robert's eSearch Widget popup (remove the italics, increase etc), but where is it referencing the style?

I've imported a new edited PopUpRendererSkin.mxml to handle the mapclick popups referenced in the config.xml, but now want to style Robert's to closely match it.

Any clues? I feel like I'm staring right at it, or missed the answer in reading these posts - Thanks, Meg
