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.

Ronald,

Hmm... Something still seems horribly wrong with your Viewer. I have just tested and TABLES using a userlist attribute in the SearchWidget.xml works just fine. Are you sure you are using the 3.0 Flex Viewer final release and not the pre-release or something?

ronaldmcfarlane

Robert,
I downloaded Flex 3.0 on 6/14/12 with files dated 6/6/12; just downloaded again and the file dates and times are the same. I replaced them all anyway; no joy. I am using the latest posted version of your eSearch widget, but downloaded again and replaced existing; no joy.
The only difference between the two lines of code is the "Userlist" component (userlist="BTSAG,ISAG,RSAG,UPSAG"). If I paste the userlist text (at left) into a layers attribute line it works; same syntax in a tables attribute line doesn't.

This works:
<value prompt="Example: RSAG" >upper(AdvisGrpAcronym) = upper('[value]')</value>
This don't:
<value prompt="Example: RSAG" userlist="BTSAG,ISAG,RSAG,UPSAG">upper(AdvisGrpAcronym) = upper('[value]')</value>

Thank you for your time and effort.

Edin,

Widget positioning has more to do with the whole Flex Viewer than this particular widget. All you need to do is reffer to the Flex Viewer documentation here:

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/flex-viewer/concepts/01m3/01m30000001w000000.htm

Robert,
Widget position - OK
<widget label="Pretraživanje" left="10" bottom="60" preload="open"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
                config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>

DataGrid, table Search Results remained in the middle of the screen, it should be moved to the plains of the widget.

Photo attached...

Thanks for help.

Edin,

That is not how I have the Floating datagrid programed... It is a popup and it set to popup in the center of the screen as most popups. There is no configuration to change this and right now I don't have any plans to change this behavior.

Robert,

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

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Lixin,

Not without a change to the code.

LixinHuang

Robert,

Some of our users are complaining that it is hard to terminate the polyline by double-clicking the mouse left butoon at the end point of the polyline when doing polyline Graphical Search. So is the polygon Seach. Is it a way to solve this issue? Any helps or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Lixin,

Nope there is nothing I can do about that it is the API that controls that behavior.

KenCarrier

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.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Ken,

A handfull of people have asked about this but it is not my intent for the fixed datagrid and thus there is no hide ability programmed for it.

BradfordBaugh

Slade,

When you go to the REST Services directory for this Map Service layer is the coded domain listed?

Looking at one of the sample rest services on the arcgis sample server (the "Incidents" layer at http://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/SanFrancisco/311Incidents/MapServer/0) there is field called "status" that shows how the coded values should look:

status (Type: esriFieldTypeSmallInteger, Alias: Status, Domain: Coded Values: [1: New], [2: Open], [3: Closed] )

However, any of the layers we have created that have coded values are missing the "Domain: Coded Values: ..." information in the field definitions. Is there a checkbox hiding somewhere that we need to check to get this information included when the map service is created?

Thanks!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Bradford,

No there is nothing special you should have to do. What version of ArcGIS Server are you using and what is the data source (FGDB, SDE)?

Robert,
we are using server 9.3.2 and using a SDE.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Slade,

Do you mean 9.3.1? What service pack? I remember there being an issue with 9.3.1 and domains on ArcGIS Server (doesn't pay to not stay current).

yes, that is what i mean with service pack 2

MattSiple

Hi,

Is there any way to specify a field name for a "userlist"? I have a database with 5,000,000 entries that have with 10-15 unique "types". However, the types change every month or so and updating them every month would be a pain! I have been through the document a few times and just cant seem to find it. Am I just missing the syntax for it somewhere or is it not an option?

Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Great work by the way!
-matt siple

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Matt,

No there is no option for the userlist to come from a field. The userlist is only for manual entry of values. The values can come from a coded value domain in the Geodatabase though. But as you said if the values are changing regularly than that might not be an option either.

MattSiple

THANKS! I will look into the coded values option and see if it might work..

Again, thank you for all the work you have done.

We have a similar situation. What we do is maintain a mast list of the oded values in a spreadsheet, then we have a python script that runs once a week (or manually if needed) to update the domain.

Robert,

I am having an issue with your 3.0 widget crashing on me. I have a viewer with a bunch of expressions setup. Here are the occasion when it crashes although not consistently:

When clicking the relate button for a record with no related record
after closing the data grid, the whole flexviewer acts odd, in my most recnet test all my widgets got renamed search
conducting a search without clearing the previous search
sometimes the data grid doesn't list results, you have to open and close it a couple times

Also, I cannot get attachments to work. It says this layer does not support attachments or says nothing at all!

I am not sure what is going on however I did have an issue installing it into the app buidler. It asks me to overwrite the existing search widget, then when close appbuilder and re-open, the viewer with the esearch widget has reverted back tot he Esri search widget and the esearch is not listed in manage custom widgets. I have to re-install it into the appbuilder. I downloaded on 6/19/12

My flex viewer: http://gis2.threeriversparkdistrict.org/swan/xings_dev

Currently, the only point with a related record is crossing ID 182

Simon,

You seem to have some overall Flex Viewer errors:

Error: Could not find compiled resource bundle 'ViewerStrings' for locale 'en_US'.
    at mx.resources::ResourceManagerImpl/installCompiledResourceBundle()
    at mx.resources::ResourceManagerImpl/installCompiledResourceBundles()
    at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/installCompiledResourceBundles()
    at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/docFrameHandler()
    at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/docFrameListener()

And your next issue is you have updated portions of your SearchWidget.xml to the new 3.0 version standard but not all.

Links does not look like this any more:

<links>
    <link includeinresults="false" field="" alias="">
        <linkprefix></linkprefix>
        <linksuffix></linksuffix>
        <iconfield></iconfield>
        <iconprefix></iconprefix>
        <iconsuffix></iconsuffix>
    </link>
</links>

Next you have relates and then relates again before you have your first relate... That is just going to screw things up royally.

<relates>
<relates>
<relate id="0" label="Trail Crossing Videos" enableexport="true">

Thank you for the fixes to my config file. You do great work as always.

However, I was still having issues and couldn't figure the other error messgae you pointed out about my viewer overall. I am hacving problems with installing your widget via appbuilder. It asks to overwrite the existing search widget, then then I re-open app builder it reverts back to the Esri search widget but tries to use your config file. So I rebuilt my viewer from scrtach but this time loaded your widget using the compiled version and manually added OUTSIDE of appbuilder the old fashioned way. It works fine except I still don't see attachments in the pop ups.

So I still have 2 issues:

1. No attachments
2. Conflicts when attempting to install via appbuilder

I know how to work around 2, but wanted to let you know just in case it wasn't just my setup that this was occuring with. Any suggestions on what might be going on with 1?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

Number two really concerns me... What are the steps you are taking to add the eSearch widget to your AppBuilder?

Number one, are you looking for the attachments in the popup window? because that is where they will be.

SimonMorgan

Simon,

Number two really concerns me... What are the steps you are taking to add the eSearch widget to your AppBuilder?

Number one, are you looking for the attachments in the popup window? because that is where they will be.

Steps to add to appbuilder:

1. Click Settings
2. Click Show Advanced Settings
3. Click Manage Custom Widgets
4. Click Add
5. Navigate to ...\eSearch\For_AppBuilder3.0, Click eSearch.zip then click Open.
6. Click Yes when asked if I want to replace existing search widget (even the first time I added it)
7. Click Yes when asked if I want to update all my applications

If I click cancel in step 6, i get the following error: "Custom widget import failed: Process cancelled by user"
I have also tried clicking no in step 7 but get the same results (widget conflicts)

This does not happen with any of your other widgets. What it does is move your wiodget into the Esri search widget folder. Then when I re-open appuilder, the app builder replace the swf with the esri version but does not update the xml to the esri one.

As for attachments, I have been looking in the popup but to no avail.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Simon,

So I just tested on a new machine that has never had App Builder and did the app builder install and then followed the steps you used (which are exactly what you should be doing) and the only message I get is this: "Custom Widget Imported Successfully" and it shows the binoculars and Enhanced SearchWidget.

An Idea on the Attachments issue can you include OBJECTID in your fields list and test again?

Is it still there after you close and re-open the appbuilder? One thign I was wodnering is could it be because your esearch swf file is called searchwidgeta nd so attempts to override the existing widget where as your edraw swf is called edarwwidgeta nd so is in addition to the existing draw widget? I have not had chance to tryt he objectID fix but will report back when I do so there is record of how it worked.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

The new version 3.0.1 is now available.

Version 3.0.1 - 7/26/2012

* The name of the swf and xml file has changed to eSearchWidget.swf and eSearchWidget.xml
* Fixed application hang bug when using the eSearch and new 3.0 print widget.
* Added autozoom configuration to zoom to the selected features automatically when a search is complete.
* Added keepgraphicalsearchenabled configuration option to keep the graphical selection tool that the
user chooses active even after a selection has been made. This means that you will not have to clear
your selection and re-choose a graphical selection tool in order to make another selection.
* Added autohide to the fixed datagrid. Control of this is now in the SearchWidgetFixedDG.xml file.
* Added predefined datagrid column sorting to all the datagrids.

Robert,

Thank you again for awesome widgets that make us look good! I just grabbed the latest version (3.01) and the floating data grid doesn't seem to enable....I though I had done something wrong in the config, so I installed is fresh and still no data grid option. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Adam Z

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Adam,

The issue is that I left the eSearchWidget.xml set to:

<floatorfixed>fixed</floatorfixed><!-- possible values are fixed and float -->

If you go in and change that to float it will work fine for you. I will change it to float in the download ASAP.

AdamZiegler

Awesome, thanks! I also wanted to ask if it's possible to add all fields to the grid when using the <fields all="true" /> option. I have found myself working with data sources that have many fields and being able to throw them all in the grid without formatting them would be cool....although I guess I'd want to limit the amount of fields in the Search results. Perhaps I am being a bit lazy.

Thanks,
Adam Z
