All,

   Here is a new thread to post questions and discuss the Enhanched Search Widget. The old thread was getting too long.

Thanh,

   What does your dateformat for that field in your eSearchWidget.xml look like?

<field name="ORIGINSTDATE" alias="Orig Inst Date" gridfield="true" dateformat="MM/DD/YYY" />

That was it.  Thank you so much, Robert!  Have a great day!

Hi!  So I set this up a while ago, looks like I'm using ArcGIS Viewer Version 3.6 and eSearch version Version 3.5.4 - 11/5/2013.  I know you don't support the older versions, but I wanted to ask a question before I go through the trouble of upgrading.

you wrote:

Version 3.6.1 - 12/19/2013

Fixed issue With search layer symbology not showing when using a URL search until a selection was made in the datagrid.

And I wanted to know if that is what my problem is, when doing a search, no symbols show up and the map area is not highlighted in the same way the regular search widget acts.

regular search widget:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34180[/ATTACH]

eSearchWidget:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]34181[/ATTACH]

p WHISLER,

  The symbology not showing up would only be related to that fix if you are talking about a URL search. It would be best to show me the layer configuration in your eSearchWidget.xml for the layer in question.

p whisler,

  So your image showed what looks like a point feature yet in your layers XML you are trying to symbolize a polygon...

            <symbology>
                <simplefillsymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.5">
                    <outline color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
                </simplefillsymbol>                
            </symbology>

Ok, so looking at the documentation, I should use picturemarkersymbol right?  I tried this:

<symbology>                
<picturemarkersymbol url="/assets/images/i_search.png" height="30" width="30" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" />      
</symbology>

and that worked! thanks!!!!

pwhisler,

   there is an extra slash in your url.

<symbology>
    <picturemarkersymbol url="/assets/images/i_search.png" height="30" width="30" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" />
</symbology>

Hi Robert.

When using <uniquevalsfromfield> is it possible to have the "all" (<alloptiontext>) as the first (default) option and then have the rest of your values under that?

I know this can be done when using the <userlist> option.

Thanks.
Julian
