Glenn,

What version are you seeing the double field behavior issue in? I just tested in version 2.5.1.7 and did not see the behavior you are describing.

I'm converting to eSearch Widget 2.9.0 and switching my "Links" over to the new format. The previous version allowed hiding the linked URL address by including "includeinresults="false" in the link section. I don't see mention of it in the new documentation. Is it still supported?

ronaldmcfarlane · ‎06-07-2012

Found the answer to my previous question about link field display. New Problem: The format for tables appear to be the same as before (2.5.1.7f) however my table doesn't show up in the drop-down list, just my spatial layers. Obviously there is some change I am missing. Below is the table script:
<tables>
<table>
   <definitionexpression></definitionexpression>
   <enableexport>true</enableexport>
   <name>Cmer_Ims_tbl</name>

Ronald,

No the table structure is the same as the new layer structure

i.e.

<expressions>
                <expression alias="Agree with incident" textsearchlabel="Search Incidents that are agreed to:">
                    <values>
                        <value prompt="Example: True" field="agree_with_incident" usedomain="true">agree_with_incident = [value]</value>
                    </values>
                </expression>
                <expression alias="Incident date" textsearchlabel="Search Incidents on or after date:">
                    <values>
                        <value prompt="Example: 2012/04/16">datetime >= '[value] 00:00:00'</value>
                    </values>
                </expression>
            </expressions>

I see that I neglected to update the example in the documentation and I need to update the code for table links to the new structure as well.

Robert,
Thanks for the great widget.

My question: Is it possible that spreadsheets have auto hide function?
For example: when I do not use eSearch - The table is hidden; When used search - Table popoup to go ...

I use the latest version FV2.5compiled

Thank You
Edin Z.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎06-12-2012

Edin,

There are two flavors of the DataGrid a Fixed version (which it seems you are reffering to) and a float version that is movable and closeable. You should look at the floating datagrid. I will not be adding a autohide feature to the Fixed Datagrid.

Robert,

My question is related to SearchWidgetFixedDG...

I thought to use more space for the application, with the option autohide I got it.

OK, anyway Thanks for your reply.

Loaded the 3.0 version. With Tables having the same structure as Layers (in the xml), the widget would not open. If I disable tables, the widget works fine (Layers only active). If I use the old format for Tables, the widget opens, but the tables are not present in the widget. Is 3.0 a recompiled version of 2.9.0? Thanks for the help.

RobertScheitlin__GISP · ‎06-15-2012

Ronald,

The 3.0 version is the 2.9.0 version with the table links fixed. Have you looked at the example SearchWidget.xml that comes in the download? Are you using the compiled version?
