Enhanced Search Widget for FlexViewer 2.1

RobertScheitlin__GISP

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.

Phillip,

Well for that you will need a resize handler.

//Add this function
            private function mapResizeHandler(evt:Event):void
            {
                if(myfloatdg){
                    myfloatdg.y = map.height + Number(ViewerContainer.getInstance().mapManager.top) - myfloatdg.height;
                    myfloatdg.x = 0;
                }
            }
//Add this to the init function
map.addEventListener(ExtentEvent.EXTENT_CHANGE, mapResizeHandler);

Awesome, thank you , Robert!

Hello Robert, this is off the current thread post but I would like to ask if there is any way to run my searches so they are not case sensitive, I would like not to have to type my searches in all caps. I am using 2.3.x version

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Victor,

There are several examples of non case sensitive search expressions in the provided SearchWidget.xml.

upper(ZONING_CODE) = upper('[value]')

Robert, I am still using version 2.1 of your enhanced search. I was going to try to add the ability to do the multiple feature select to it. If I took a look at your 2.3.2.2 version, think it would help me do this?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shawn,

There has been a lot of code changes since 2.1... You might figure it out.

ShawnKraft1

lol yeah it sucks that this is changing so much. Its good but bad. Seems I can't stay with a version for very long before I have to update to the new version and re-build everything which, should not have to happen in order to update.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shawn,

For things to get better and bugs to be fixed we have to move forward though.

ShawnKraft1

Yep I understand. If I update to 2.3 will my 2.1 stuff work?

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Shawn,

I don't remember all the pitfalls you might encounter (if any) but it would be worth it to get back up to date.

Hi Robert,

Have a you got any plans of linking the Point Buffer Widget with the eSearch widget. My users to do the following:

Click on Map to create buffer
Use the Search Widget to select the layer to search.
Click button to apply Graphical Search (from buffer created)
Return results

Cheers

Halil

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Halil,

Version 2.3.3 now works with the Point Buffer Widget's buffer graphics. When Flex Viewer 2.4 comes out I have plans for even better integration between my widgets.

HalilSiddique

Robert,

Perfect, thanks lot.

One thing of note that i have noticed is that both widgets need to be opened, for the buffer point widget to be active.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

There is a new version of the eSearch Available.

Version 2.3.4 - 07/19/2011
* Added a child widget that allows you to have a fixed position datagrid instead of the floating datagrid.
* Added the Enhanced Search Widget Fixed Datagrid Setup.pdf to help with the setup.

Robert,

Me again

...

I have got a search on Planning Applications, and want to hyperlink one of the fields (KEYVAL), but cant seem to get it to work, I get no option to click a link or click on a button to take me to the url.

Heres part of the code

  <layer>
   <definitionexpression></definitionexpression>
   <enableexport>true</enableexport>
            <name>Planning Apps</name>
            <url>http://baltimore/ArcGIS/rest/services/ATLAS_Plan/ATLAS_Plan_Dynamic/MapServer/17</url&gt;
            <expressions>
             <expression alias="Planning Applications" textsearchlabel="Enter Planning Application Number [ Example: 03/00981/FUL ]:">UNISDELIVE.UFRM_DCAPPL_POLY.REFVAL LIKE ('[value]%')</expression>
            </expressions>
            <graphicalsearchlabel>Use one of the graphical search tools to select Planning Application</graphicalsearchlabel>
   <spatialsearchlayer>true</spatialsearchlayer>
   <titlefield>UNISDELIVE.UFRM_DCAPPL_POLY.REFVAL</titlefield>
            <linkfield linkprefix="" linksuffix=""></linkfield>
            <fields all="false">
    <field name="UNISDELIVE.UFRM_DCAPPL_POLY.REFVAL" gridfield="true"/>
     <field name="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.DCAPPTYP" gridfield="true"/>
    <field name="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.DCSTAT" gridfield="true"/>
    <field name="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.DATEAPRECV" gridfield="true" dateformat="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
    <field name="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.ALTREF" gridfield="true"/>
    <field name="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.KEYVAL" gridfield="false" hyperlinkgridfield="false" hyperlinkaliastext="UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.KEYVAL" linkprefix="http://planning.southend.gov.uk/PublicAccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=" linksuffix=""/>
   </fields> 
   <linkfield linkprefix="http://planning.southend.gov.uk/PublicAccess/tdc/DcApplication/application_detailview.aspx?caseno=" linksuffix="">UNI73LIVE.PLAN_APPS.KEYVAL</linkfield>
   <icon isfield="true" iconsuffix="" iconprefix=""/>
   <zoomscale usegeometry="false">5000</zoomscale>
        </layer>

Where am I going wrong?

Also when doing a search how to I get only certain fields to show in the search area, and other fields on the map tip?

Cheers

Halil

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Halil,

The issue is that you tell my code that there is no link field and then a couple of line latter you say there is one, that is not going to work.

<layer>   
<definitionexpression></definitionexpression>

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Halil,

For the second part of your question the option you have is what is displayed only in the grid using the gridfieldonly="true"

GeoffTaylor1

I have run into a bug with the results showing in the grid function. It seems that even if there is a <null> location in the database the location still has a link appear.

here is an example of the code i am working with

<field name="SURVEYS" alias="Surveys" hyperlinkgridfield="true" hyperlinkaliastext="View Surveys" linkprefix="http://maps.clemson.edu/culandmanagementv2/" linksuffix="" gridfieldonly="false"/>

The table fields in the database complete the url and if there is a table field titled <null> a link still shows up with the linkprefix: ex: http://maps.clemson.edu/culandmanagementv2/<null>

CaitlinBernier

Hi Robert,

I have been away from my Flex Viewer development for a while but have now returned. I am setting up a new eSearch for addresses. When you run the search, you get results but there is no text in the results window, nor is there text in the grid or in the popup. The locations are showing up but I cannot see the attributes at all. It is very odd. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? The other site I have set up with the same version of the eSearch widget works fine. Hmmm.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Caitlin Bernier

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Caitlin,

Sounds like you do not have the fields configured correctly the widget. Depending on how old a version of the eSearch widget you were using there has been alot to change in the SearchWidget.xml file. Look at the Enhanced Search Widget XML Configuration.pdf

HalilSiddique

Thanks Robert, Hyperlinks now working.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Geoff,

This will be fixed in version 2.4

EmilyLaMunyon

Hi Robert,

Thanks for this great widget!! I have a question regarding the hyperlink field in the grid table. In the pop-ups I am able to enter a link like this:
<a href="http://surveyor.slco.org/gis/map/Corner_Reports/getImage.cfm?page_id={page_id}.pdf">View Corner Reports</a>.

Is this functionality possible here, and if not, is it something that could be in future releases. It has allowed me to solve a huge issue I had of accessing images from a SQL database.

Thanks!
Emily

EmilyLaMunyon

Never mind. It worked using this:

<field name="page_id" gridfield="true" hyperlinkgridfield="true" hyperlinkaliastext="Corner Reports" linkprefix="http://surveyor.slco.org/gis/map/Corner_Reports/getImage.cfm?page_id=" linksuffix=".pdf"/>

Thanks!

EmilyLaMunyon

Sorry, I have another question.

I have the data grid working great using the compiled version. Is there any plans in the future to have something like a show/hide option for the grid?

Thanks!

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Emily,

If you are speaking of the floating datagrid then there is close button in the upper right corner like most widgets. If you are talking about the new Fixed grid than NO it is developed to always be visible.

EmilyLaMunyon

Thanks for the reply Robert. I was talking about the new fixed grid, I appreciate the information:)

FrankRoberts

Robert, I had a user ask about the text on the transparency slider for the buffer. They didn't know what "Adjust buff alpha" meant... I know you and I know what this means, but I was wondering if you could add this label to the other labels in the config file for a future revision?

Just a thought, thanks again for the wonderful widget!
Frank

RobertScheitlin__GISP

Frank,

Sure that will be done in Version 2.4 of this widget.

RobertScheitlin__GISP

All,

   Version 2.4 for FlexViewer 2.4 is now released.

* Both the compiled and uncompiled version can use the URL Search capability.
No code changes needed!
    See the Enhanced Search Widget URL Search Configuration.pdf
* Links in the results, popUp and Data grid now do not display a link if the link field contains
    a Null or empty string.
* Fixed error when clearing the graphics results and using the fixed data grid.
* Fixed issue with buffer point widget button displaying as enabled after you hover over it, even
    though it is not enabled.
