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.

Adam,

Serveral people have asked about this posibility and I continue to say no. As a matter of best practice you should not just return all your fields as this is likely unneeded and not optimal.

Hello Robert.

I am using eSearch 3.0 to do my site's searches and everything is working fine but he grid reults table is not showing totally rectangular as it used to in the 2.5 application. I mean the top bar "Search Results" and the bottom bar " Export to CSV Export to TXT are both showing narrower than the middle part of the table.

Thanks for your help

Jorge

Jorge,

It is highly unlikely that to configuration you provided me would have produced the result you have in your screen shot with out the widgets source code having been modified...

JORGELAGOS2

Hello Robert, thanks for the help but I can assure you we haven't change the swf code. Could the problem be something with the field length on our data. I am probably asking too much but could you try to test some data with long field lengths and see what you get?

Thanks

Jorge

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Jorge,

The reason I mention a possible code change on your part was there is nothing in your lands.xml that specifies any more than 2 grid fields and in the image you have LOTS of fields displayed?...

Jorge,

I just tried one of my map service layer and defined 54 gridfields without issue in the datagrid...? Are you saying that you have a text field that has it length at 255 or greater and it has data that is that big as well? If so why don't you try and eliminate that field from your list and see what happens. Sure would be nice if I could test against your data.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Robert,

For eSearch Widget 2.5.1.7f, is it possible to set the Buffer fill as hollow in Graphical Search?

Lixin,

This is now part of version 3.0.2.

Version 3.0.2 - 8/3/2012

* Added the ability to have a grid hyperlink icon instead of only hyper link text. This is achieved through the new hyperlinkgridicon attribute of a field element.
* Added a new option to the graphical search page that allow you to include the text search options to the graphical search if the search layer dropdown is the same on both pages.
* The buffer graphics have a new popup GUI for adjusting their graphics symbology.
* The userlist attribute have a new ability, when you add the text "all" to the comma separated userlist and the user chooses this value, then all the values of the userlist will be selected when the query is executed.
* All possible items in code have been migrated from mx to spark (probably doesn't mean much to you as the end user, but for me as the developer, it allowed to enhancement to be accomplished).

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Robert,

I have some users who would like to use the FixedDataGrid. I implemented it using your documentation and it works. Now they are wondering if there is a way to hide the FixedDataGrid when the eSearch widget is not initialized.

I looked through your documentation and I could have missed it but I did not see where this is possible or if it is possible. I am sure someone has asked this before but some of those forum posts are 16 pages or more long.

Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

Ken,

that ability was added in 3.0.1

JORGELAGOS2

Robert,

What puzzle me is that I had the same data (excat mapserver) working on my Flex 2.5) version. Thus, that make me believe the data is not the problem right? I have the Flex 2.5 and the Flex 3.0 versions of the same data running in my PC and only the Flex 3.0 is giving me the not rectangular datagrid table. Any ideas? Is there any tag in your new releases 3.01 or 3.03 that allows to turn the resize the datagrid off?

Thanks so much

Jorge

RobertScheitlin__GISP

JORGE,

The new 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 uses the new Spark Datagrid and it is worth a shot trying that version. The main difference between 2.5 and 3.0 versions of the viewer is that the 3.0 viewer uses the Adobe Fle SDK 4.6 where the 2.5 used the 4.1 SDK.

Robert. I updated to 3.04 and the non-rectangular problem I had was fixed. I love the autohide option that respond to the cursor focus. The only issue I would like to correct if possible is that the SearResults Table title is being covered by the Coordinates (not big dealbut will be nice if I could move the dynamic coordinates or the minimized table to the right. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the wonderfull jod you do.

Jorge

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Jorge,

Just change the left attribute on the coordinate widget then, as the tabs in my widget are not configurable as far as position.

EdinZametica

Robert, I did update to 3.0.5, big thank you to the widget.
Is there a chance that when you open the widget automatically performs search, for example the URL search.
I work with the uncompiled version.

Once again Thank you for your excellent work!
Edin Z.

MattPohl

Hey Robert-

I know that version 3.0.4 fixed some of the datagrid hovering issues, but I am still running into one problem. When I launch the viewer and click on a layer that has a popup associated with it, the fixed datagrid (with no results) will popup from the bottom as if I preformed a query using the eSearch. Once I get the datagrid to hide, I then can click on the feature again with the popup and the datagrid will stay hidden. However, if I then clicked on a feature in a different layer with an associated popup, the datagrid will appear again until i hide it. This happens with all layers with popups. Like I said, this only happens the first time I click a feature. Once i hide the datagrid, clicking features in that layer will not cause the datagrid to open. I am using version 3.0.5. Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Thanks,

Matt

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Matt,

So what is the behavior you are expecting?

MattPohl

Hi Robert,

I was thinking that by just clicking on a feature to get a popup that the eSearch datagrid should not open, epically since I am not preforming a query and since the layer that the feature is apart of is not associated with the eSearch Widget in any way. It is also concerning that this happens only the first time I click a feature. Clicks thereafter will not open the datagrid (this in my mind is the expected behavior). Why would the datagrid open when all I am doing is clicking on a feature in the map, not preforming a query? I have attached a couple of screen shots showing this behavior. The first is when I click on a polygon feature to open a popup (empty datagrid appears). The second is when I hide the datagrid and click on the feature again (no datagrid appears). If I am confusing you, just let me know. Thanks for the help.

Matt

Matt,

OK, now I get what you are saying. No that should not be happening, I will have to do so investigation and debugging. Thanks for the info.

JORGELAGOS2

Robert version 3.04 is working great for me but I am not planning on using the Relate feature for now. Is there anyway I can hide the Relate Results tab or at least don't show the Relate results label and the icon next to the label?

Thanks

Jorge

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Jorge,

There is no way to completely hide the relates tab if you are using the fixed datagrid. There is the disablerelatestabinfixed attribute on the floatorfixed element as covered by the documentation.

<floatorfixed disablerelatestabinfixed="true">fixed</floatorfixed>

PeterHoffman

Robert,
I am using version 3.0.2 and the dateformat is not working properly. I am using it with a 10.0 server.
Here is the line of code:
<field name="acquired_date" alias="Acquired" gridfield="true" dateformat="MM/DD/YYYY" />
In my results I see this:
Wednesday, June 06, 2001 8:00PM

I am trying to get rid of the day and time.

Thanks,

Peter

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Peter, that was fixed In subsequent releases. Make sure you stay up to date.

PeterHoffman

I updated to 3.0.5, same results.
See attached.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Peter,

OK, sorry about that I tought I had that fixed every where but I must of forgot the widget item renderer. I will have this fixed in 3.0.6 along with some other bugs people have brought to my attention.

PeterHoffman

Sounds good, excellent widget, I also use your identify widget.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

New bug fix version released.

Version 3.0.6 - 8/15/2012
* Fixed issue with field date formatting.
* Fixed issue with fixed datagrid that is hidden, showing when a popup is shown the first time.
* Fixed issue where buffering would not work (spatial or graphical) until the buffer properties
dialog was shown at least once.

Robert,
I have installed version 3.0.6 and the date is now formatted correctly in the popup but the fixed datagrid still shows the long format with the time.
