Problem with Search Widget in 2.5

Anonymous User

Original User: ksjosh82

I created a web app using the new application builder and I kept getting the error in the actual webmap in the browser (Firefox 8.0). I attached the error I keep getting (Capture 2). I later just tried to copy the Louisville search with my own information and while the widget comes up, as soon as I attempt to perform a search I get an error as well (Capture), I left the Louisville in it just to check it and things work fine. I'm sure as usual that I have a typo somewhere but finding it is not easy.

Here is the widget xml file after I modified it that results in the second error message (Capture):

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

I still haven't figured out the problem with the fields all tag. The only way the search functions is if I have true which looks terrible with OBJECTID as the first entry. The visible tag doesn't have any effect as in the popups. I did notice something that was new though. I created a new search that doesn't have a joined table and used <fields all="false"> and it worked. The difference was that there is not joined table. I do notice though that the 4th field I typed in does not appear in the search results or the popup that results from clicking on a result. There is something odd going on here, either a bug or a very hard to locate typo in my config file.

I got that figured out, I deleted my post, but you must have read it first. Turns out I removed a feature from the map service and so that changed the ID number, which makes sense, and I will have to remember to always check that sort of thing. Still can't figure out why the fields all tag isn't working, still get the error everytime, and when I change it back to true, I have no issues and the visible tag doesn't work. I guess I'll go ahead and add the SearchWidget_Cemetery anyways as it is altered very slightly from the above posted one. In this condition, the Search works but will ALL fields.

Josh,

can you post the SearchWidget_Cemetery.xml for me to look at?

Anonymous User

Original User: ksjosh82

Well, it had been working and now after a return to the Application Builder it reset something and now it refuses to work. I copied it exactly and still get the faultCode="400" faultDetail="Unable to complete Query operation." I'll post my config file as well. Maybe the Application Builder caused an error, its a bummer because the Builder helps simplify the initial process but you don't want to manually modify the xml and then run the Builder again clearly. Problem is, I can't find the error.

Two things:
The web app does not honor the <initialview> tag and also I get an error if I use <fields all="false"> which I want to do as OBJECTID and SHAPE_Length mean nothing to a user. I thought maybe it was similar to the popup bug in 2.4 but I'm unable to produce that error by reducing the number of fields so I don't belive that is the problem.

Josh,

Sure just add:

<initialview>text</initialview>

to the SearchWidget_???.xml

Robert,
Thanks for your help. I discovered the problem and I appreciate your willingness to help. A REST cache cleaning helped me realize my error. The table in the mxd is joined to another table so I need the featurename.fieldname instead of just fieldname. In other words, it was attempting to locate fields that didn't exist. I knew it had to be a goofy typo. On another note, while I have you, is there a way to force the widget to come up with the entry view rather than the geometry search? The geometry search is okay to have but I think my users would prefer to enter. I am using the compiled version and don't have FlexBuilder (or whatever its called) so I cannot edit the backend. Perhaps one of your widgets would actually be better for this sort of thing?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Josh,

What is the search value you are entering and can you successfully perform a query on that layer in the REST service directory?

JoshWhite

The field type is String.

Original User: rscheitlin

Josh,

What is the field type of the SpaceID?

JoshWhite

Nope, I'm afraid they are not hidden.

Original User: rscheitlin

Josh,

In the MXD do you have the shape and/or objectid field hidden for the spaces layer? If so that is an issue.
