Web AppBuilder 1.2 Search/Geocoder widget color/style question

[AdamGebhart]

Can anybody tell me how to either a) change the color of; or b) change the opacity of the highlight/fill color for the selected result in the Search/Geocoder widget?  I don't mean how the results appear in the Search widget results list, rather how the feature appears in the map when I select it from the results list and the map zooms to the feature.  In case it matters my searches are all for polygons.

I can open the Inspector Window in Firefox and see:

But I don't see where I can change these settings.  Are they inherited from the ArcGIS API for Javascript?  If so, can I override the color or opacity?

Benjamin,

   The 2.3 version here:

Works fine in 2.4.

Hi Robert -  it looks like there's been some fairly significant changes to the Search's widget.js between version 2.5 and 2.6.   I'm no longer able to add a highlight graphic by calling the jsonUtils as part of the _convertConfig function here:

var convertedSource = {
 featureLayer: flayer,
 outFields: ["*"],
 searchFields: fNames,
 displayField: source.displayField || "",
 exactMatch: !!source.exactMatch,
 name: jimuUtils.stripHTML(source.name || ""),
 placeholder: jimuUtils.stripHTML(source.placeholder || ""),
 maxSuggestions: source.maxSuggestions || 6,
 maxResults: source.maxResults || 6,
 zoomScale: source.zoomScale || 50000,
 infoTemplate: template,
 useMapExtent: !!source.searchInCurrentMapExtent,
 _featureLayerId: source.layerId,
 highlightSymbol: jsonUtils.fromJson(source.highlightSymbol) //to add highlight symbol from json config
 };‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Line 15 equating to about line 327 in the original.  Also, I've noticed where in 2.6 the 'show,hide' callback has been completely commented out, seemingly preventing the graphic to persist after infoWindow close

// this.own(
 // on(this.map.infoWindow, 'show,hide', lang.hitch(this, function() {
 // if (this.searchDijit &&
 // this.map.infoWindow.getSelectedFeature() ===
 // this.searchDijit.highlightGraphic) {
 // this.searchDijit.clearGraphics();
 // query('li', this.searchResultsNode).removeClass('result-item-selected');
 // }
 // }))
 // );‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

around 181-190 in the original.  In 2.5 I had previously commented out just the

this.searchDijit.clearGraphics();‍

portion in order to persist the graphic on screen.  If you have ideas on where to now add highlight changes that would be great-

Thanks

David

David,

   Strange I tested the 2.3 version of the code: https://community.esri.com/thread/165739#comment-663892 

in WAB 2.6 and it still worked fine.

[DavidColey]

Huh, ok. So are you saying you overwrote the current 2.6's Search widget.js with a 2.3 version that contains the changes (json.utils in the declare, highlight property added, symbology json in the config)?  Or did you apply the same changes to the 2.6 version?  I'm finding I can't exactly do that because of the changes in the 2.6 version . . .  

I suppose I could just try adding the 2.5 version with the changes?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

David,

   I applied the same changes to 2.6. I am not sure about any additional changes you are making but the one I outline all work fine for 2.6

[DavidColey]

Ok thanks. At this point I'm just looking at the highlight change as well.  I'll keep looking . . . 

[DavidColey]

OK I believe I figured it out at least for the moment:

1: If you import a 2.5 (or 2.3, 2.4) project that has the changes for highlight color and/or graphic persist after infoWindow close, those changes are honored in 2.6.

2. If you add the 2.5 (or 2.3, 2.4) Search's widget.js containing the changes and your config contains the correct json symbology, the changes are honored in 2.6.

BUT: if you start a new app at 2.6, the (breaking) changes to the 2.6 Search widget.js file are such that the highlight symbol for the source will not change simply by adding the jsonUtils define and then adding highlightSymbol property to the _convertedSource var.  Doesn't work, at least for me.

It's me again.  Have you tried the same changes you listed in the older posts in 2.7 or 2.8?  I haven't been able to get them to take in either version.  I ended up copying and pasting the Search widget.js from 2.4 to get the update to work. 

I see your post from 11/17/17 indicates the same changes worked in 2.6.  I didn't download 2.5 or 2.6 so I don't know if there was a modification to (Search) widget.js between 2.5-6 and 2.7 or not.

Adam,

   You want to look at this thread: https://community.esri.com/thread/205898-wab26-search-widget-js-highlight-symbol-changes-from-25 

[AdamGebhart]

Thank you very much.  I hadn't seen that.
