eSearch Widget not working for Flex 2.4

[HarrietMcQuade]

Hi there,

I have recently downloaded flex viewer 2.4, and am trying to use the advanced search widget (eSearch), and it is not working. The icon appears in my web application but once clicked nothing actually happens, I don't even get an error? It worked for a collegue in 2.1 but not for me. Below is my config, can anyone help?

Harriet,

   Your expression for your layer is not proper SQL syntax:

ADDRESS LIKE ('%[value]%')

should be:

upper(ADDRESS) LIKE upper('%[value]%')

[HarrietMcQuade]

Hi, Thanks Richard.

I changed the syntax as per your response, but i dont think the syntax is the problem. My collegue has used the exact same config as i did, but in the 2.1 viewer and it works perfectly. I am not even getting the widget to open at the moment. On click nothing happens, it wont let me go as far to begin a search. I dont even get an error?

[MLowry]

You sure you copied over the whole eSearch widget folder that included the .xml, .swf, and assets folder right? Post you config.xml where you specify the widget as well.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Harriet,

  If you should probably review all the "How to install:" instructions in the ReadMe.txt.

[MarkHorsell]

Have you added it to Properties>Flex Modules ?

[HarrietMcQuade]

Hi Again!

I copied over the entire folder exactly. I have tried typing it all again manually too, and still will not work.

Mark, how do i get to the flex modules?

Thanks

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Harriet,

   That is discussed step by step in the ReadMe.txt under Finalize the install for Uncompiled version.

[MarkHorsell]

Hi,
Its actually very simple. Just right click on properties,then click flex modules and click add, then navigate to the widget you want compiled into your project.

[HarrietMcQuade]

Hi,

Thanks, but I am using the compiled version, not the uncomplied. I have made do with the out of the box search widget for now, so that the website can go live. I really would like to use the eSearch, has it worked for people using 2.4 do you know? The widget jumps as if it is going to open then nothing happens. I use firebug with Firefox, and that shows that nothing is happening either?
