Link Issues in eSearch Widget

[NicholasBarger]

I've read the multiple posts by others experiencing problems with getting Links to appear in the eSearch Widget and I really didn't see any answers other that someone did not compile the XMXL in their project.

At this point I am dealing with the compiled version.  I downloaded Roberts eSearch widget, which works very well, and I have all of my searches working correctly.  My problem is with the links.  I have placed the links in my XML but I cannot get anything to appear in the results window or in the popup.

Any ideas???

Nick,


   I just took a quick glance and sujest that you change your

<titlefield>TAXIDNUM</titlefield>

don't use the TAXIDNUM as the titlefield and also try to use it as a link.

[NicholasBarger]

That didn't work.  I changed the Title field to the owner name.  THis displayed the correct information but did notdisplay the link.

I figured out the problem.

It appears that I had never copied over the new swf files for the updated esearch widget.  I just did this and it works fine now.

Thanks for the help Robert.

Nick,

  Glad you got it. You need to look at your SearchWidget.xml in a web browser and it will tell you that you have a syntax issue or two (needing whitespace between attributes). You also need to put the new link syntax in your other layers as well and delete the old link and icon elements.
