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.

Is there a way to open another widget from the ESearch popup using either a link or image?

Thanks

All,

   Yet another new release.

Version 3.1.1 - 12/19/2012
* Updated some code for API Version 3.1
* Added Token Element to layers and tables
* Fixed some bugs with layer zoom settings.
* Removed geometryservice from eSearchWidget.xml as it gets this from the main config.xml now.
* Added some error trapping to URL Searches using improper parameters
* Changed the URL Search parameter to esearch (was search) as esri is now using search for their
  purposes and it was conflicting with mine.

Great widget, Robert! Thanks for all your work.

Quick question: Does the uniquevalsfromfield tag for populating a drop down list only work against Server 10.x? I can't get it to work against 9.3.1.

Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,

   I was not aware that it was not working against 9.3.1... Is your service public so I can test to see what the issue is?

[RyanCoghlin]

The service isn't public, so we can't do that. But maybe I just haven't configured it properly:

<expression alias="NAME" textsearchlabel="Search by Street Name:">
[INDENT]<values>
[INDENT][/INDENT]<value prompt="Example: Centre St S" isvaluerequired="true" uniquevalsfromfield="NAME">upper(NAME) LIKE upper('%[value]%')</value>
</values>[/INDENT]
</expression>

The layer url tag is correct and the layer does have a field called NAME.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Ryan,

  So what is it do or not doing? Do you get the gathering unique values indicator with the count message?

Also not a real big deal but if you use the uniquevalsfromfield than your sql would look like this instead:

<expression alias="NAME" textsearchlabel="Search by Street Name:">[INDENT]<values><value  prompt="Example: Centre St S" isvaluerequired="true"  uniquevalsfromfield="NAME">NAME = '[value]'</value>
</values>
[/INDENT]
</expression>

So what is it do or not doing? Do you get the gathering unique values indicator with the count message?

I briefly get the unique values indicator with the count message, although the count never moves from '0 of 0'. Then I get an empty drop down.

If I remove the uniquevalsfromfield="NAME" and just do a free form search on the layer, it does work.

Ryan,

  OK, I will have to find a 9.3.1 server to test against than. I'll keep you updated.

[RyanCoghlin]

Robert,

Thanks for looking in to this. I was expecting the answer to be that 'it only works with 10', so I appreciate the time you're taking to investigate.
