Social Media App and Geocoding Service

mpboyle

I have downloaded the social media web app template and am wondering why when I plug in our own geocode service the entire search box disappears?

There is a place within the commonConfig.js file to enter a URL for a geocode service, however when I enter ours, the search box disappears.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

You have a couple of options based on the way the app was written. 

Option 1) configure the app to use multiple locators with the Esri world geocoder listed first within the commonConfig.js file, this will enable autoComplete for both locators, but your end user will have to switch to the composite in the dropdown menu in the app.

geocode: [{  url: location.protocol + "//geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"},          {          url: location.protocol + "//gis.linncounty.org/arcgis/rest/services/PublicBase/LocatorComposite/GeocodeServer",    name: "LocatorComposite",    singleLineFieldName: "SingleLine",    placefinding: true,    placeholder: "Find an Address or GPN"                 }]

Option 2: change the code to set autoComplete: true

Back in the js\modules\utils.js file again around line 83 you could change the options of the geocoder to look something like this:

            var options = {                 map: _self.options.map,   zoomScale: 400,                 theme: 'modernGrey',                 autoComplete:true             };
