All Here is my next widget in the FlexViewer 2.1 series

Special thanks to Erwan Caradec for contributing to this code.

The Enhanced Search Widget extends the standard search widget with a floating data grid and a new spatial query w/buffering.

Robert,

I am still getting an error when trying to use these two tags "usedomains" and "fromsubtype". Any help would be greatly appreciated. I using the same rest endpoint specified in previous post. I am using the latest 2.5 eSearch widget and have updated my compiler with the latest version of the Flex API.

Error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Ken,

The issue is that you are specifying the subtype field and I need the field name that contains the domain.

Robert,

Thank you I have gotten past that error and understand it better now. The query is still not working as expected. Here is the new config. I wanted to implement a multi field search but I think in previous posts you have mentioned this is not possible. So for example select PROPTYPE then based on the PROPTYPE select AGREAGE from the subtype. To get around this I thought I would just use a definitionexpression. Here is the code I have so far. I apologize for my ignorance hopefully this will help someone else in the future.

Error:
[RPC Fault faultstring="Unable to complete operation" faultCode="400" faultDetail="Unable to complete Query operation."]

<layer>
<definitionexpression>PROPTYPE = 2</definitionexpression>

Robert,

I figured it out, because I am using a coded value domain of type Short Integer, the single quotes around [value] were what was causing the problem with the search. If it were text then it would work. Thank you again for all your help it is greatly appreciated.

Does not work with Coded Value Domain on Short Integer field:
<expression alias="Available Land Agriculture" textsearchlabel="Search Available Land Agriculture by Acreage..." field="ACREAGEDOM" usedomain="true" fromsubtype="true">ACREAGEDOM = '[value]'</expression>

Works with Coded Value Domain on Short Integer field:
<expression alias="Available Land Agriculture" textsearchlabel="Search Available Land Agriculture by Acreage..." field="ACREAGEDOM" usedomain="true" fromsubtype="true">ACREAGEDOM = [value]</expression>

Robert,

Is it possible to have more than one linkfield or specify multiple linkfields?

<linkfield linkaliastext="Brochure Link: Get More Info">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
<linkfield linkaliastext="Auditor Link: Get More Info">AUDHYPLNK</linkfield>

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎12-05-2011

Ken,

No there is no support for multiple link fields. Some people have extended the code themselves to add this ability, so it is possible.

KenCarrier · ‎12-05-2011

Robert,

I think I might have found a possible bug. In the attached screen shot you will notice that the datagrid is showing the subtype number instead of the description. In the other windows the subtype description is used instead of the number. Hope this helps.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎12-05-2011

Ken,

That is fixed in Version 2.5.0.1 (now Available).

Thanks Robert!
