ArcGIS Viewer for Flex 3.4 Header Controller Locatoroptions

EamonnDoyle — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 14:08:03 GMT

Hi

I am trying to modify the HeaderControllerWidget.xml to search http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer only for locations in Ireland by using the

<locatoroptions>
<sourcecountry>IRL</sourcecountry>
</locatoroptions>

However a search on say Dublin in http://showcase.esri-ireland.ie/builtflexviewers/GeoCode/ still considers and returns candidates outside Ireland. Can anyone advice on what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks

Eamonn

Eamonn,

Your xml should look like this for the geocoder portion:

<configuration>
    <geocoder>
        <url>http://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer</url>
        <locatoroptions>
            <sourcecountry>IRL</sourcecountry>
        </locatoroptions>
    </geocoder>

Thanks for your suggestion. Looks like I had some incorrect XML. However even when corrected I don't get the expected results as the screenshot shows.

Eamonn,

Not sure what is going wrong for you... Here is screenshot of mine with that exact XML change to the header widget

Thanks Robert

I had upgraded a 3.3 Viewer, when I start with a 3.4 Viewer things work as expected.

Eamonn,

Strange as I did all my testing in a 3.3 viewer and got it to work fine.

Eamonn:

When you say "you upgraded a 3.3 viewer", do you mean that you had widgets working with the FlexViewer 3.3 compiled version and you just copied your config files from the 3.3 viewer to a newer FlexViewer 3.4 compiled version?

I ask because I have found that performing this type of upgrade often times does not work. I need to resort to manually modifying the new 3.4 widgets to match the older version widgets. This in itself is sometimes tricky as there could be changes to the config files that you also need to account for where the widget was enhanced or the config was changed to make the widget more user friendly.
