Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part III

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

All,

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

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Bo,

   Back in 2.5 I had a PopUpRendererSkin.mxml included in the eSearch skins folder so that I could correct/add to it. In the more recent versions I have been able to just work with the API's PopUpRendererSkin without modification so it is no longer included in my widget. You will have to add it for the API source code. There are a dozen or more threads about how to go about doing this, so I won't re-write it here.

In the configurePopUpInfo function, is there a way to access and loop through the fields configured in the xml similarly to how it's doing it with the links?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Andrew,

   I suppose you could pass in the queryFields (with is an xmllist) just like I pass in the lyrQLinks (an Array).

[AndrewHayden1]

Thanks Robert,

I might be going about this wrong.  I'm not clear, where are you passing the fields to the popup?

[daveespinosa-aguilar]

really loving this extended search widget. we've solved all our riddles for it so far except one: after a successful query has been completed, the resulting rows are not showing as selected features in the map. ideas? -dave

Andrew,

   I don't have to send the fields to the popup... The popup renders its contents from the graphics attributes and my eSearch graphics have all the fields that are configured for the search layer based on the query task result. As you can see in the configurePopUpInfo function I choose to display an attribute of the graphic that I created called "content__pu__sr" which is large string as the popups description and an attribute called "title__pu__sr" as the popups title. The popup replaces these curly brace field names with actual field values when it renders. Probably does not get you any closer to what you are after but maybe it helps explain what is going on in the code.

Dave,
  
    Can you zoom your map out to the world extent and see if the graphics are in the arm-pit of Africa (i.e.at 0,0)? If so can you share your eSearchWidget.xml and let me know the WKID of your data.

when zoomed out to world extent, graphics are not appearing anywhere (including the arm-pit of Africa) after successful query.
content of extended search widget xml (one layer) below.
coordinate system of the service being used (GISID) below.

grateful for your assistance with this,

Dave,

1. So are you using esri basemaps or are you only using your own data (including basemaps)?


2. Did you find your graphics at 0,0?


3. Is your data a joined to a database view?

Dave,

2. Did you find your graphics at 0,0?


3. Is your data a joined to a database view?

1. we are using our own data
2. we did not find the graphics at 0,0
3. our data is joined to a database view, yes.
