eSearch - graphic input only option not returning symbols

Hi everyone -

I have 3 layers in my eSearch.xml with <symbols> set at the bottom of the .xml, and no <symbology> set for the individual layers. It seems like something is a little buggy. The first layer in my list selects fine (purple - good pix), but the other layers do not have the same highlighted color, even though they populate the datagrid, and show the popup (bad pix) etc.

Interestingly everything works fine for the textinput option, it's just for the graphical input that something is awry. Any ideas?

I'm using eSearch,3.014f - last modified on 11/15/2012.

thanks, meg

Anybody out there with the same issue? Robert, Rhett, Santa? Thanks in advance.

Meg, i can not reproduce this issue, but am using the latest version. I only have the </symbols> set at the end (no symbology for individual layers) and all my searches produce the same highlight/outline regardless of text or graphic search.

Is there a reason you can't update? Robert has addressed some of the symbology issues with spatial search a couple versions back.

Thanks for the reply Rhett. I had seen the post about the previous spatial searches, was just wondering if this was a known issue for the graphical input as well. I'll upgrade to the latest and greatest as soon as I can, was just looking for a quick fix/idea if someone had the same result.

On another note, have you ever noticed odd behaviour re: the <titlefield> parameter? If I delete the <titlefield> entry entirely, or if I leave it blank <titlefield></titlefield> I get Error#1069. But if I put in a fake field name like <titlefield>XXXX</titlefield> - poof, error gone.

Regardless, I'll upgrade soon. Thanks again for your response. I learn a ton from these postings.

Don't remember for sure, but if I remember correctly, the issue was if there wasn't symbology set for each layer.

You may be able to copy your desired symbology to the bottom of each layer as a work around.

   <symbology>
    <simplefillsymbol color="0x00FFFF" alpha="0">
     <outline color="0x00FFFF" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
    </simplefillsymbol>
    </symbology>
  </layer>

Meg,

You definitely need to update as I have addressed many of the symbology issues graphical and spatial. I will look into the titlefield issue, but that field as it stands right now is a required field that is why you get the error, but I will look into changing that.

I am using 3.0.16 and do not get the error. However if I delete the titlefield or leave it blank, I ALWAYS get a search return with no values. So, no error, but no valid search either.

I also have this set <popupsdisabled>true</popupsdisabled>

which might be why you get an error and I don't (titlefield is for the popups)

Meg,

Here is the code fix for the titlefield issue:

Code change in the eSearchWidget.mxml

            private function createSearchResults(feats:Array, queryFields:XMLList, queryRelates:Array = null, initiator:String = null):ArrayCollection
            {
                var a:int;
                if(qFeatLayer.layerDetails){
                    layerDetails = qFeatLayer.layerDetails;
                }else{
                    layerDetails = qFeatLayer.tableDetails;
                }
                var fields:XMLList = qFeatLayer ? queryFields.field : null;
                
                var result:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
                if (!queryTitleField){
                    queryTitleField = layerDetails.displayField;
                }
