Enhanced Search Widget Setup - URL

[ionarawilson1]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the enhanced search widget in Flash Builder, but I have some questions. The first and main question so far is:

In the Enhanced Search Widget URL Search Configuration it says:

To use this capability all you have to do is use a URL like this:
http://gislap134/FlexViewer2.1/index.html?search=R1&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true

So, my question is: where do I use this URL?




Is this a URL of a GIS Service with a layer? Where do I put this url? In the main configuration file,there is a URL for the search widget. Instead of url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf",

should I use my own layer service with these search parameters (http://gislap134/FlexViewer2.1/index.html?search=R1&slayer=0&exprnum=0&showdatagrid=true)


Thank you for any help!

Cool! If I want to use the search widget URL, do I change the URL on the config file?

Thank  you so much for creating this widget and helping me with the questions! This is an awesome widget!!

Ionara,

   The Flex Viewer is a web based application and is brought up in the users choice of web browsers using a specific url http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.0/index.html The enhanced search widget use additional information attached to this url to perform a search (i.e. http://gis.calhouncounty.org/FlexViewer3.0/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml&search=2&slayer=4&exprnum=1). You add these additional url paramaters to the url when you provide the link to your viewer to end user (i.e. from a hyperlink  in an email or a link (anchor) in a html page).
