All,

Here is a new thread to post questions and discuss the Enhanched Search Widget. The old thread was getting too long.

Robert,
We have upgraded our services from 9.3.1 to 10.1 and I have added the 10.1 service to the eSearch widget. Everything seems to work except for a print service, basically be have Getaways as shape files in the service that our clients can search for to get a specific pre-made pdf map. The feature for our staging areas work fine, but the ones for our feeders do not work, however the 9.3.1 service works correctly with the same code. The code is as follows:
9.3.1 code:

Slade,

It looks like you have a 1009 error using either services... I would check the spelling (and CaSe) of the field names. Also in diagnosing ths issue it would be benifical to you to attempt the same exact query using the where clause and out fields directly from your Rest Service Directory page.

where in the instructions is an example of using a where clause to pull directly from the rest services directory?

Just go to your servers API Reference url:

In the new version, I see that the tooltip for the relate icon in the eSearch results is changed to the relate label in the XML, but it does not seem to be applying to the tab in the grid name for me. That still seems to be using the relateresulttab element in the FixedDG XML. This is the XML for each of my 2 layers I'm using relates for, along with the related FixedDG XML. When I run a search on either of these layers, the tab is labeled "Related Data." I'm not sure if this is a bug, if the XML in the FixedDG XML is set to override the regular XML, if I'm making another configuration error, or if I misunderstood the update.

Nick,

The relates Results tab will us the relateresulttab tag from the datagrid xml until you choose the relate. This is the intended behavior as you only have on relate per layer but others like my preview site has MULTIPLE relates assigned to one layer and thus the tabs label can not be changed until I know which relate you have chosen.

Re: Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part III

NicholasMcNamara — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:46:35 GMT

When you say "when you choose the relate," how are you determining when the relate is chosen? Even after I click the relate icon and view the data in the datagrid, the tab label does not change. Would it be possible to detect whether there was only one relate and set it to the only label present?

CaseyMcMillin — Thu, 02 May 2013 22:53:16 GMT

Robert,
I am still trying to correct the issue I am having with hyperlinks in a related table. After days of pounding my head on the table and trying everything I can think of, I have more information but still no solutions. I believe the issue has something to do with having the feature class and the table tied together with a relationship class. When I exported both the feature class and table to shapefile and made a test service and application, it resolved the white screen and loss of functionality but throws an error stating "invalid or missing input parameters" (even though the hyperlink works perfectly). Does this added information give you any ideas on what the issue could be and I am also wondering if you tried the relationship class when you were trying to replicate the issues?
Thanks,
Casey

If you go to my Live Preview Site and choose County Roads and type mud. Then click the relate flag icon you will see the realted data tab label change (as designed).

I don't know what else to tell you as I have now setup a Featureclass, a table, and a relationship Class in an Enterprise Geodatabase and tested a link to a pdf from a field in the related table and it works fine....

Re: Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part III

xanderm — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:47:48 GMT

I am currently running 2.3 and have read the current XML config doc. So I think my question would ;pertian to either version...

I want to know if I can use the linkfield element to call a JavaScript snippet (see attached)?

The link would look like the line below where the Parcel PIN (10126078) is a field in my service.

<a href='javascript:SubmitThisForm("10126078");'>Link to Auditor's Page</a>

I'm open to storing a new/diff hyperlink field, if that helps.

thank you for your time and effort on this widget.

To my knowledge the answer is NO.

http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.2/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml

Thank you for the link. When you click the flag on your site, I notice that it does change the relate name tab from the default (presumably in the DG XML), to the relate label text.

My site is not doing that. Regardless of what I have as the relate label text, it does not overwrite the tab name, although the tooltip is working, and everything else works as desired. I haven't significantly changed my code from my post above. Do you know why this could be happening?

Yes. I was wondering the same thing as there were times before when I updated the widgets and it said they were applied to my projects, but I found that they were not. However, in this case, yes, I'm seeing: "Enhanched Search Widget Version: 3.2.3
Build Date: 4/30/2013"

OK, I figured it out. Although the eSearchWidget.swf was updated, the SearchWidgetFixedDG.swf was not updated, so my version was a few months old. When I updated the tool in the Builder, it asks whether you want it to update your projects and I always say yes, but sometimes I find that stuff like this happens. I have no idea whether that is on Esri's side or the widget author's.

So I downloaded and copied the newest version of the SWF over and now it's working as designed.
