Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part II

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

All,

   I am pleased to announce the next release of my eSearch Widget.

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5d4995ccdb99429185dfd8d8fb2a513e

Version 2.5.1.7 - 4/19/2012
* Added ability to search (flat/standalone/no geometry) tables.
* This time all Zooming uses the same scaling (popup, datagrid, widget results, zoom to all).
* Added Relates icon/button to datagrids so that you can click on it in the datagrid to
  open relates choice dialog.
* Move all skins to a skins package for cleaner organization.
* Links that are not associated with a field now work.
* Ability to disable the relates tab in the fixed widget is now configurable.

Awesome, thanks! I also wanted to ask if it's possible to add all fields to the grid when using the <fields all="true" /> option.  I have found myself working with data sources that have many fields and being able to throw them all in the grid without formatting them would be cool....although I guess I'd want to limit the amount of fields in the Search results.  Perhaps I am being a bit lazy.

Thanks,
Adam Z

Adam,

   Serveral people have asked about this posibility and I continue to say no. As a matter of best practice you should not just return all your fields as this is likely unneeded and not optimal.

Hello Robert.

I am using eSearch 3.0 to do my site's searches and everything is working fine but he grid reults table is not showing totally rectangular as it used to in the 2.5 application.  I mean the top bar "Search Results" and the bottom bar " Export to CSV Export to TXT are both showing narrower than the middle part of the table.

Thanks for your help

Jorge

Jorge,

   Wow, I have not seen that one before... Can you share your eSearchWidget.xml file?

[JORGELAGOS2]

HERE IT IS FIRST THE CODE FROM THE MAIN config.xml

<widgetcontainer layout="float">
<widgetgroup label="Search" icon="assets/images/i_search.png">
<widget label="Mile Posts" left="50" top="420" icon="assets/images/i_pin2.png" config="widgets/eSearch/Mile_Posts.xml" url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>
<widget label="Land" left="300" top="420" icon="assets/images/i_draw_poly.png" config="widgets/eSearch/Land.xml" url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>
</widgetgroup>

HERE IS THE CODE FOR lands.xml

Jorge,

   It is highly unlikely that to configuration you provided me would have produced the result you have in your screen shot with out the widgets source code having been modified...

[JORGELAGOS2]

Hello Robert, thanks for the help but I can assure you we haven't change the swf code. Could the problem be something with the field length on our data.  I am probably asking too much but could you try to test some data with long field lengths and see what you get?

Thanks

Jorge

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Jorge,

   The reason I mention a possible code change on your part was there is nothing in your lands.xml that specifies any more than 2 grid fields and in the image you have LOTS of fields displayed?...

[JORGELAGOS2]

Sorry Robert for misleading you but I delete many fields from the actual code to make it more readable. Below I include all the fields

Jorge,

   I just tried one of my map service layer and defined 54 gridfields without issue in the datagrid...? Are you saying that you have a text field that has it length at 255 or greater and it has data that is that big as well? If so why don't you try and eliminate that field from your list and see what happens. Sure would be nice if I could test against your data.
