Dave,   It is as simple as: REACH_Num = [value] The single quotes tell the underlying data base that you are attempting to search for a string. So no single quotes means a number or something else. It's always the simple things that get you. I spent an hour yesterday trying to fix an error, and it was just a missing set of quotes. Argh! Thanks for your help, Robert! David Allen ... View more

I'm trying to do a search that invoves an integer field. The expression is: REACH_Num = '[value]' But that's not working. Do I need to convert REACH_Num from an integer to text, and if so how is that done? Is it something like the upper() function? David Allen ... View more

Wow, you are absolutely amazing.  Your dedication is much appreciated and I will look forward to the new version. And I second that! As I learn more about Flex coding, I gain a greater appreciation for your efforts! David Allen ... View more

David,    Nope no tolerance setting for them. As you can see on my preview site there isn't an issue with point or line selection. http://gis.calhouncounty.org/IdentExample/index.html?config=config-eSearch.xml Are you trying to select points using point or line? if so you are HIGHLY unlikely to click in the precise location to get a result. Yep - point on point selection. That must be why it's not working. I think I can transfer the point location of headstones to a polygon showing the burial site and then it will work with a point selection. ... View more

Is there a search sensitivity for the Graphic Selection "Select by Point" or "Select by Line"? I've got the rectangle and polygon selections working great, but even if I zoom way in I can't get the point or line to select anything. ... View more

David,    The enhanced search widget displays results in the widget results, the info popup and a floating data grid if you configure it for that. So the gridfield only attribute says don't display it in the info popup or widget results, only the floating data grid. That certainly makes sense. I haven't configured everything so I haven't seen the data grid yet. What about sorting the results, though? ... View more

Robert - here's another question. Can you explain what the field attribute setting gridfield and gridfieldonly do? I'm seeting gridfield to true and false on different fields, but they all still show up in both the search results display and the pop-up box. I've tried setting gridfieldonly to true, and then the field doesn't show up in either the search results or the pop-up box. Am I using these correctly?             <fields all="false">              <field name="First_name" alias="First name" gridfield="false"/>              <field name="Middle_nam" alias="Middle name" gridfield="true"/>                 <field name="Last_name" alias="Last name" gridfield="true"/>                 <field name="B_month" alias="Birth - Month" gridfield="true"/>                 <field name="B_day" alias="Birth - Day" gridfield="true"/>                 <field name="B_year" alias="Birth - Year" gridfield="true"/>                 <field name="D_month" alias="Death - Month" gridfield="false"/>                 <field name="D_day" alias="Death - Day" gridfield="false"/>                 <field name="D_year" alias="Death - Year" gridfield="false"/>                 <field name="Comment" alias="Comment" gridfield="false"/>                 <field name="Comment_2" alias="Comment" gridfield="false"/>                 <field name="age" alias="Age at time of death" gridfieldonly="true"/>             </fields> ...

OK - rookie question ... I've gotten everything working, but I want to order the results of the queries. So I added the Order By command to the end of my query like this:        <expression alias="Last name" textsearchlabel="Search for last name [ Example: Fuller ]:">upper(Last_name) like upper('%[value]%') ORDER BY "First_name"</expression>             The query runs without errors, but the output isn't ordered by the first name. Any tips here? David Allen ... View more

David,    that is what I was afraid of... The info popup that you want to have the alias for is not part of the identifyWidget code it is part of the FlexViewer base code. Hey - that's cool. I cover that in my instructions, so users should figure out what to do. ... View more

David,     Can you provide me with a screen shot of what you are wanting aliased? I think want you are asking for is not actually part of this widget but I need to be sure. Sure - shown here is the identify window. This is a sewer map, so I have a hyperlink to the plan. In the popup, it shows the path to the tiff image. It would be better if this said "Click here to see the plan". I've also got a field that hold the path to the profile, but I can ony build one hyperlink. David ... View more

No - I'm not seeing the hyperlink alias. I'm in the identify tool, not the datagrid. My next map will be using the datagrid, so I'll see how that works. David, Version 2.2 is the latest is that the one you are using? Also you are talking about the link in the datagrid right? ... View more

Actually, I don't see the alias for the URL. Is there a more current version with that in there? Anyway, I'm getting TONS of use out of this widget!!! ... View more

Robert - great job on the widget and thanks for sharing. I initially had issues when I installed, but reading all these posts eventually showed all the necessary fixes. Is it possible to put an FAQ on the download site? It seems customary that everyone throw in a "wish list" item, so here's mine. It would be great if there was an alias name for the hyperlink. Instead of users seeing the web link, they'd see something like "Click here to see the plans". Oh - and multiple hyperlink fields would be good, too. Thanks again! ... View more
