eSearch Widget not working for Flex 2.4

HarrietMcQuade · ‎08-25-2011

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,

Yep a lot of people are using this widget in 2.4 as well as my live preview site that is in 2.4. If you are using the compiled version than per the instructions all you would have to do is copy the eSearch folder to the widgets folder in your flex viewer deployment and add this xml to your main config.xml:

<widget label="Enhanced Search" left="60" top="400"
                icon="assets/images/i_search.png"
                config="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.xml"
                url="widgets/eSearch/SearchWidget.swf"/>

A mistake that many people make is that Flex is a case sensitive language so you have to copy the folder exactly as in the instructions (i.e. eSearch).
