Simon,    Try using: <field name='maximo_production."EARTH\GIS".%GIS_NurseryFlat.nORth_itemnum' visible="true" gridfield="true"/> BTW using quotes is not really a good DBA practice. I am aware this is not a good practice, and in fact I did not do it. The table in question is actually a view in my Maximo database (IBM asset management system). When I look at that view from any non GIS client, I do not see the "EARTH\gis." But when I publish it as a service, the REST endpoint adds the user name it is using, to access the view, to the field name as part of the join. I have tried bringing the view into my GIS database as a cross-instance view. In this case, I do not get the "EARTH\gis" but the join does not work within the flex viewer. I will post again with whether the above worked. ... View more

Simon,    So I just tested on a new machine that has never had App Builder and did the app builder install and then followed the steps you used (which are exactly what you should be doing) and the only message I get is this: "Custom Widget Imported Successfully" and it shows the binoculars and Enhanced SearchWidget. An Idea on the Attachments issue can you include OBJECTID in your fields list and test again? Is it still there after you close and re-open the appbuilder? One thign I was wodnering is could it be because your esearch swf file is called searchwidgeta nd so attempts to override the existing widget where as your edraw swf is called edarwwidgeta nd so is in addition to the existing draw widget? I have not had chance to tryt he objectID fix but will report back when I do so there is record of how it worked. ... View more

Simon,    Number two really concerns me... What are the steps you are taking to add the eSearch widget to your AppBuilder? Number one, are you looking for the attachments in the popup window? because that is where they will be. Steps to add to appbuilder: 1. Click Settings 2. Click Show Advanced Settings 3. Click Manage Custom Widgets 4. Click Add 5. Navigate to ...\eSearch\For_AppBuilder3.0, Click eSearch.zip then click Open. 6. Click Yes when asked if I want to replace existing search widget (even the first time I added it) 7. Click Yes when asked if I want to update all my applications If I click cancel in step 6, i get the following error: "Custom widget import failed: Process cancelled by user" I have also tried clicking no in step 7 but get the same results (widget conflicts) This does not happen with any of your other widgets. What it does is move your wiodget into the Esri search widget folder. Then when I re-open appuilder, the app builder replace the swf with the esri version but does not update the xml to the esri one. As for attachments, I have been looking in the popup but to no avail. ... View more

Thank you for the fixes to my config file. You do great work as always. However, I was still having issues and couldn't figure the other error messgae you pointed out about my viewer overall. I am hacving problems with installing your widget via appbuilder. It asks to overwrite the existing search widget, then then I re-open app builder it reverts back to the Esri search widget but tries to use your config file. So I rebuilt my viewer from scrtach but this time loaded your widget using the compiled version and manually added OUTSIDE of appbuilder the old fashioned way. It works fine except I still don't see attachments in the pop ups. So I still have 2 issues: 1. No attachments 2. Conflicts when attempting to install via appbuilder I know how to work around 2, but wanted to let you know just in case it wasn't just my setup that this was occuring with. Any suggestions on what might be going on with 1? ... View more

Robert, I am having an issue with your 3.0 widget crashing on me. I have a viewer with a bunch of expressions setup. Here are the occasion when it crashes although not consistently: When clicking the relate button for a record with no related record after closing the data grid, the whole flexviewer acts odd, in my most recnet test all my widgets got renamed search conducting a search without clearing the previous search sometimes the data grid doesn't list results, you have to open and close it a couple times Also, I cannot get attachments to work. It says this layer does not support attachments or says nothing at all! I am not sure what is going on however I did have an issue installing it into the app buidler. It asks me to overwrite the existing search widget, then when close appbuilder and re-open, the viewer with the esearch widget has reverted back tot he Esri search widget and the esearch is not listed in manage custom widgets. I have to re-install it into the appbuilder. I downloaded on 6/19/12 My flex viewer: http://gis2.threeriversparkdistrict.org/swan/xings_dev Currently, the only point with a related record is crossing ID 182 My config file for esearch: <configuration> <layers>   <layer>    <definitionexpression/>    <enableexport>true</enableexport>    <name>Trail Crossings</name>    <url>http://gis.threeriversparkdistrict.org/arcgis/rest/services/WebEditing/WebEdit_xings_071012/MapServer/0</url>    <expressions>     <expression alias="Crossing ID" textsearchlabel="Search by crossing ID...">      <value prompt="Example: 123">CrossingID = '[value]'</value>     </expression>     <expression alias="County" textsearchlabel="Select crossing in or not in a county">      <value prompt="IN or NOT IN County" userlist="IN,NOT IN">County [value]</value>      <value prompt="Which County?" field="County" usedomain="true" fromsubtype="true">('[value]')</value>     </expression>     <expression alias="City" textsearchlabel="Select crossing in or not in a City">      <value prompt="IN or NOT IN City" userlist="IN,NOT IN">City [value]</value>      <value prompt="Which City?" field="City" usedomain="true" fromsubtype="true">('[value]')</value>     </expression>     <expression alias="ADT and Lanes" textsearchlabel="Show me all crossings with 4 or 5 lanes and an ADT in excess of">      <value prompt="Enter AADT value -1, so 8999 for 9000">NumLns in ( '4' , '5' ) and AADT &gt;

THANKS! I will look into the coded values option and see if it might work.. Again, thank you for all the work you have done. -matt We have a similar situation. What we do is maintain a mast list of the oded values in a spreadsheet, then we have a python script that runs once a week (or manually if needed) to update the domain. ... View more

Simon,     I believe this is already possible in the current version... Try setting the : <zoomscale usegeometry="false">10000</zoomscale> for the layer that is being searched in the SearchWidget.xml. Let me know if that does not work and I will look into it. That did it thank you!!! ... View more

Robert, Thank you for fixing the bug, very much appreciated. I have another question or possibly an enhancement request. I have an access database that is a front end for a table in my geodatabase. The table is only editable via access. It is joined to a feature class. I added a web component to the form to display a flex app. I have it setup so that it runs a query against the esearch widget depending upon which asset has been picked on the form. So if asset 87 is picked the web component within the form builds the following URL: http://gis2/swan/application25/index.html?config=config-engineering.xml&search=87 and then displays the web app from within Access on the form itself. It works very nicely, however, it would be nice if I could controlt he zoom. Per your documentation, the widget zooms to the extent of the results. Would you be willing to add a parameter such that the zoom level could be included in the URL or would this be easy to do my self? I have a basic understanding of Flex. ... View more
