eSearch popup vs. MapClick popup

MegPeterson — Fri, 02 Nov 2012 19:07:54 GMT

Hi all - I need a better understanding on what's going on behind the scenes with the eSearch tool and a map click.

I have the eSearch widget loaded and displaying the fields and thumbnails I need once records are selected (see attached search_popup.jpg).

But when I click on the same selected point, the point is selected and the popup displays honoring the fields I set in the eSearch.xml, but without the attachments (mapclick_popup.jpg).

I'm trying to figure out how to show the attachments with a mapclick as well, but more importantly, understand where in the code the map click is firing from.

thanks -

Meg,

The issue is that when you click on one of my results in the widget or the datagrid I am able to set the PopUpRendererSkin to my custom one in the eSearch and thus that the ability to show attachments using the search graphics due to some custom extending of esri components I have done. When you click on the graphic in the map esri handles many things inside their code (unexposed) and thus I can not force it to use my extended component (so far). Hope this explains the difference you are seeing.

Meg, are you sure you don't have that just backwards?

You photo's look like mine did before I disabled the popup feature of eSearch, (however, my "mapclick" looks like your search, and vice versa).

Do you have a src/popups/layerconfig.xml file for that layer also? it looks like it is pulling one popup from the eSearch and one from the popup.xml file.

I just disabled the popups from eSearch and set a popup.xml file for my layer includeing <showattachments>true</showattachments>. This makes my "built in" popup look just like the on you show as search.jpg with all the fields I set in the popupconfig.xml AND all the attachemts show just like in your search_popup.jpg (at least with FV 3.0).

Hi Rhett/Robert - thanks for the responses.

Didn't have it backwards but didn't employ your suggestion and I'm really liking how it's all coming together. (Until it all changes again....that is!). Thanks for the help.

Meg,

Yep as you mentioned until it changes again... Well based on this thread I have dug into the issue and it is fixed in version 3.0.14 coming out soon. There will be no difference between the popup when you click on the result graphic in the map or the popup you get when you click the search result/datagrid, they will both have attachments. And a couple of other fixes and enhancements as well. Then get ready for it because Flex Viewer 3.1 is projected to be out in December and the API team has made big changes with relates and a built in feature attribute widget that may seriously change this widget.

Eeks - Rhett - I meant DIDemploy your suggestions and I'm liking how it's coming together...!

Robert - my head hurts :). Thanks for the update.

FYI: one thing I noticed with the fixed datagrid is if I'm hovering and click on row #3 in the table for example, and then try to open the attachment for that record in the popup, I can't get to that popup record because right when I move my mouse over the records above #3, it dynamically opens up the other row popus? Clear as mud?

Thanks again to you both.

Actually I did understand that. I will add it to my list.

displayed when you click on the search graphic on the map.

selection (which is the default).

Hi Robert, I'm having a similar issue, however I cannot up grade to your latest version due to the many changes that I've incorporated. My issue is with the popup that is produced when clicking on a result graphic. For some reason it's displaying two close buttons and a title bar. I want to remove the title bar and the plain X close button. I've tried editing the InfoWindowSkin with no luck. Do you have any suggestions?

Marc,

The close button you have indicated in your graphic comes from the ContentNavigator component. I don't do anything with the PopUpRendererSkin.mxml in my eSearch any more. I let esri handle all of it.

Robert, I had a feeling that was the case, I'll just have to disable it. Thanks for your quick reply.
