Individual layer symbology problem with eSearch widget 3.010

[AndrewEdmonds]

Hey everyone.

I know I must have a simple syntax error, but I just can't figure it out.  I am running Robert Scheitlin's excellent eSearch widget on a beta site, here.  The widget is labeled "Search HPO Data" and is the first icon - the red arrow - in the toolbar.

The widget is working fine, except the individual layer symbology is not displaying.  I have followed Robert's XML Configuration PDF and thought that I placed the <symbols> code in the correct places for this to work.

My file has another <symbols> code at the end, which makes the red arrow appear for all search types.  If I comment this out, I get a syntax error message: "A problem occurred while parsing the configuration file widgets/eSearch/eSearchWidget_AllLayers.xml
Error #1085"

If you look at the second tool in the toolbar ("Searches"), you'll see the icons that should display.  The image files are all in the correct folder.

What did I get wrong?
--ASE.

Andrew,

   Well your issue is that you were trying to use the xml for all layers symbology in an individual layer.

It should look like this assuming the layer is a polygon:

[AndrewEdmonds]

Thanks, Robert.  Of course that makes sense.  I am still having an issue, though.

I made sure to only reference one symbology type within the layer, and removed the other references.  Now, instead of displaying my expected icon (NRsearch-45.png), I get pink circles -- which I don't see any code for creating.

[RobertScheitlin__GISP · Accepted solution]

Andrew,

   You need to pay a little closer attention... You are still using symbols as the parent element and what I have instructed you to use in the last post of mine and in the documentation is symbology. Fix that and you should be good.

[AndrewEdmonds]

Yup, it's working.  Thanks again.

By the way, is the pink circle symbology buried somewhere as the default if one has incorrect code like I had?  Where did it come from?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Andrew,

   That pink symbology is nothing that comes from my code.
