Again, from the documentation:
<result>The container used to configure the search result's pop-up, [added at 3.5.] It has the following child tags:
|
- <title>
- Text title displayed in the resulting pop-up.
- <description>
- Text description displayed in the resulting popup.
You can configure the <title> and <description> using custom description functionality that allows you to display pop-up content using a custom sentence or paragrah structure and supports field substitution using a {FIELD} style syntax.
This seems like a nice option, however, it appears as if it is a child of the <geocoder> tag. Seems like it should be a child of the <mapservice> tag, especially since it allows the description type custom popup info.
Doesn't make sense to me to have this under the <geocoder> tag unless ALL your locator/mapservices have the same attributes, etc.
The example in the documentation ArcGIS Viewer for Flex is for a live traffic feed. However, if I try to use something similar, but also want to use mapservices, OR, just mapservices but more than one, it will show a popup "template" but will not populate it unless they all have the same attribute names.
So, if I search my sewer manholes and have it set as such:
<result>
<title>Search result for {FacilityID}:</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[Popup for {FacilityID}
<img src="{URL}" width="130" height="100"
hspace="0" vspace="0"/>]]>
</description>
</result>
Then search for a sewer manhole, I get:
If I then enter a street name in the same search box, I get:
Since there is not a FacilityID field in the streets layer the variables aren't substituted.
Am I just using this wrong, or is it pretty much only useable with only one geocoder and/or all searched services have the same schema (or at least fields)?
Thanks,
