Enhanced Search Widget URL Search Configuration

azgis

Robert,

I am getting an error in the MapManager after inputting the code changes that are specified in the Enhanced Search Widget URL Search Configuration pdf. The error is to the line of code as follows from private function mapLoadComplete function utimerComplete:

ViewerContainer.getInstance().widgetManager.getWidget(id);

The error is 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method getWidget through a reference with static type com.esri.viewer.managers:WidgetManager

Thanks,
Jim Faron

Robert,

Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it since I'm just getting into setting up applications with the flex viewer. You have created some great tools for us to use.

Robert,

That's why it seems odd, had it fixed before, but once I got the swf to compile then the blue circles showed up. See current xml file and image.

Nate,

This line in the SearchWidget.mxml is what centers the datagrid.

PopUpManager.centerPopUp(myfloatdg);

Is this truly your latest code in your SearchWidget.xml?

<symbols>
     <simplefillsymbol color="0x000000" alpha="0.0">
      <outline color="0x000000" alpha="0.0" width="2"/>
     </simplefillsymbol>
     <!-- You can have one or the other, either simplemarkersymbol or picturemarkersymbol
          defined for your point results NOT BOTH. picturemarkersymbol will override simplemarkersymbol
          if you do not have it commented out. --> 
     <!--<simplemarkersymbol style="square" size="12" color="0xff0000" alpha="0.0" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" angle="0">
      <outline style="solid" color="0x000000" alpha="1" width="1"/>
     </simplemarkersymbol>-->
     <picturemarkersymbol url="assets/images/i_search2.png" height="30" width="30" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" />
  <simplelinesymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2"/>
    </symbols>

Because it does not make sense what you are seeing then.

NateRose

Robert,

Here is a screenshot which should help.

I meant to say I can update the width of the grid results in the SearchWidgetFloatDG.mxml but I can't left align the entire grid results window. See how it defaults to the middle of the map. I just wanted to shift it over to the left side.

For the search symbology, I changed the image from the binoculars to a transparent .png image and now it shows the blue circles on each result. I updated the simplefillsymbol color below but to no avail.

<symbols>
     <simplefillsymbol color="0x000000" alpha="0.0">
      <outline color="0x000000" alpha="0.0" width="2"/>
     </simplefillsymbol>
     <!-- You can have one or the other, either simplemarkersymbol or picturemarkersymbol
          defined for your point results NOT BOTH. picturemarkersymbol will override simplemarkersymbol
          if you do not have it commented out. -->

      <outline style="solid" color="0x000000" alpha="1" width="1"/>
     </simplemarkersymbol>-->
     <picturemarkersymbol url="assets/images/i_search2.png" height="30" width="30" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" />
  <simplelinesymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2"/>
    </symbols>

Nate,

Hmm... I am a little confused. The symbology or the results is STILL controlled by what you specify in the SearchWidget.xml. So if you changed it before to something different than you can do that same thing now. The data grid results are automatically left aligned so what are you saying or asking here:

Also I found the code that would set the Grid results to display left aligned. I can adjust the width in the SearchWidgetFloatDG.mxml but don't see anything for the horizontal alignment.

NateRose

Robert,

It's working really great, just a couple quick questions. Previously I changed the camera icon but now there is a blue circle that shows up on the search results. Is this referenced somewhere besides the SearchWidget.xml? I haven't found anything yet to update this.

Also I found the code that would set the Grid results to display left aligned. I can adjust the width in the SearchWidgetFloatDG.mxml but don't see anything for the horizontal alignment.

Thanks,

Nate

Robert, I just got this installed and, once again, masterful work across the board! The code, the configs, the documentation.....all fabulous. A huge thanks from your friends at Johnson County, IA. This is easily worth 7 stars!

NateRose

Robert,

That did the trick. Thanks for your patience!! It works great, just going to try move the grid results to the left side of the screen and clean up the data for quicker response. Right now its about a 5 second delay.

Thanks,

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

OK if you don't have anything listed in the problems window that the only other thing I can think of is you did not add the SearchWidget.mxml to your projects modules list. Anytime you are adding a widget's source code to your project you have to add it to the modules list so that Flash Builder knows to compile a swf file for it.

NateRose

Robert,

I haven't seen anything listed in the Problems tab. I'm using Flash Builder 4 as of a few months ago.

The same is happening for the eDraw widget. All of the other SWF files are compiling fine. I'll look around and see what I can find why they wouldn't be generating without any visible errors.

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

That is a Big problem. Can you check the problems window in Flash Builder and see what is listed there for errors (don't worry about warnings).

NateRose

Robert,

I added that piece of code into the MapManager.mxml, exported a release build, and it still won't run the search. That code was in my original app, must have just missed it.

Did everything else check out in the code I posted? I did notice that my SearchWidget.swf isn't compiling like the other widgets, is that a problem?

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

You missed this line in the MapManager.mxml instructions.

Update this function:
protected override function partAdded(partName:String, instance:Object):void
{
super.partAdded(partName, instance);
if (instance == map)
{
var cssStyleDeclaration:CSSStyleDeclaration =
styleManager.getStyleDeclaration("com.esri.ags.components.supportClasses.InfoWindow")
cssStyleDeclaration.setStyle("backgroundColor", getStyle('contentBackgroundColor'));
styleManager.setStyleDeclaration("com.esri.ags.components.supportClasses.InfoWindow",
cssStyleDeclaration, true);
//My Add
map.addEventListener(MapEvent.LOAD, mapLoadComplete);
//End My Add
}
}

NateRose

Robert,

I'm running into the same problem with the new project as before. I started with a original copy of the 2.3.1 version of the viewer and updated the necessary code listed in the URL Search Configuration documentation but it still won't bring up any search results on page load.

Would you be willing to take a look at the code to see what might be going wrong? I've checked it over and over, but must be missing something since you tested the layer out in your copy.

Thanks,

Nate

NateRose

Robert,

Thanks for testing it. I double checked the code vs the instructions and everything looks good so I'm going to start with fresh 2.3.1 viewer and update the code in that. I'm thinking maybe everything didn't get updated properly during the upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3. I'll let you know what I find.

Thanks again,

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

You have missed some portion of the instructions some where because I can add your layer to my eSearch Widget and now that you have a crossdomain.xml in place this url:

http://gislap134/FlexViewer2.3/index.html?search=Owner&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true&debug=true

Executes the search for me.

NateRose

Robert,

I do have the Search window set to preload.

<widget label="Search" left="100" top="50" preload="open"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
                config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>

I didn't have a crossdomain.xml file setup but I looked it up quick and built one at "C:\inetpub\wwwroot" so hopefully it works based on the esri documentation. It's accessible from the path http://maps.co.stearns.mn.us/crossdomain.xml.

Here is the app path:
http://maps.co.stearns.mn.us/TaxForfeit/bin-debug/index.html

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Do you have the eSearch widget preloded as instructed in the pdf?

i.e.

<widget label="Enhanced Search" preload="open"
             icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
             config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.xml"
             url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Do you not have a crossdomain.xml on your server? I would gladly test this for you but I can not as long as you don't have a crossdomain.xml at http://maps.co.stearns.mn.us/crossdomain.xml

NateRose

Robert,

Sorry for the confusion. I meant the number of expressions when I referred to the layers. I only have one layer setup and three search expressions.

I attached my SearchWidget.xml, maybe this will help.

If I have it set to slayer=0 and exprnum=0 as you mention it should work. Still no search on page load. I'm gonna try another layer and/or expression just to see if there is an issue with that.

Thanks for your time with this.

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Now you have me confused...

Each layer can have multiple expressions defined for it so exprnum=2 would mean the 3rd expression for the particular layer you are specifying in the slayer.

So this code means:

?search=Owner&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true

In layman's speak means:
Search the first layer defined in the SearchWidget.xml using the first expression defined for that layer, using a search value of "Owner"

Does that help?

NateRose

I thought from reading your pdf that the exprnum is the number or layer's you have setup for searching.

I tested the parameters that you posted after clearing my browser cache and still nothing. The search for "Owner" works fine in the Search Widget itself also. That's what's odd.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Hmm... If Owner is an attribute of the CULPR field than shouldn't the exprnum be 0? Because expression 2 is tied to the classcode field.

?search=Owner&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true

NateRose

You are right on the "exprnum=3", should be 2 since I have 3 layers. As for the search=Owner, its an attribute in the CULPR field. Maybe this will help you see what I got going on. Still nothing when I change it to "exprnum=2" though.

<expressions>
             <expression alias="Status" textsearchlabel="Search Status (Owner/Renter) [ Example: Owner ]:">upper(CULPR) = upper('[value]')</expression>

<expression alias="Improvements" textsearchlabel="Search by Improvements [ Example: Y or N ]:">upper(Improvement) = upper('[value]')</expression>

<expression alias="Price" textsearchlabel="Search Price Range By Code [ Example: A($0-10,000), B($10,000-20,000), C($20,000-50,000), or D($50,000+)]:">upper(classcode) = upper('[value]')</expression>
            </expressions>

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

I don't think that the search=Owner is correct.

search=x x is suppose to be the actual value that is searched for.
&exprnum=3 so this means you have 4 expressions defined in your xml file then right? Expressions numbers start at 0 as most all enumerations do.

Robert,

I no longer had the 2.3 files so I downloaded the 2.3.1 flexviewer and it worked fine with no errors. When I put the "?search=Owner&slayer=0&exprnum=3&showdatagrid=true" parameters in the it loads the page as usual but runs no search.

If that is a compatibility issue with 2.3.1, is there a way to get 2.3 un-compiled? I don't see it on the download page for previous versions.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Yep you must have an issue with your copy, there would not have been a mapLoadComplete function in the 2.3 version of the MapManager.mxml

NateRose

Robert,

Yes, I first copied over the files to upgrade to 2.3 and then made the code changes. Does it look like an issue with the upgrade to 2.3?

Nate

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Nate,

Did you notice my comment that the new version is only for FlexViewer 2.3?

NateRose

Robert,

Thanks for the update. I added the code from the URL Search Config, initially I got an error while building the project in FB4 with duplicate functions in MapManager.mxml. I looked through the code again and found this additional maploadcomplete function so I commented this out so there was only one reference.

            private function mapLoadComplete(event:MapEvent):void
            {
                // ViewerContainer.dispatchEvent(new AppEvent(AppEvent.LAYER_LOADED));
            }

After I did that I'm getting an error saying this:

Encountered errors or warnings while building project LayerListWidget.mxml.
    MapManager.mxml: Access of possibly undefined property urlConfigParams through a reference
       with static type Class.
    MapManager.mxml: Attempted access of inaccessible method getWidgetId through a reference
       with static type com.esri.viewer:ViewerContainer.

My Enhanced Search widget is labeled "Search" so I changed the .getWidgetId("Enhanced Search"); to .getWidgetId("Search"); I thought this might have helped but I'm still getting the same error and it lists it through each widget in the error dialog.
