Roberts Custom WAB Widgets
For your eSearch Widget 2.0.1.4, is there a way to have the search results window not cover up the feature that was searched for? Example, I search for a meter and the results window opens covering up the meter the user needs to see.
The initial results displayed here:
Then I click inside the grey box where the red X is located and get this:
This is after I moved the Enhanced Search Box. Is there a way to change the default behavior so the Enhanced Search Box does not cover up the feature that was searched for?
Also, is there a way to get the Layer Name to display inside the gray box where the red X is?
The eSearch Widget works great, but I am thinking from the end user standpoint where the less clicks the better.
Tapas,
The second part I got it with your help. Thanks.
For the first part, I did what you suggested and the Enhanced Search Window still blocks the selected feature. I add the Robert's Pop Up Widget to the Header Widget Bar. Before I used the eSearch I opened the Pop Up. Here is what I see:
Hi Tim,
I am glad you got the 2nd part solved!
To solve the 1st part, let's try a simple example.
http://www.tapasdas.com/Maps/Phones/app191/
This is using Enhanced Search Widget 2.0.1.4, and Popup Panel Widget 2.0.1 within the Foldable Template of WAB 2.0
Open the By Shape Tab.
Engage the Rectangle Tool.
Lasso a School represented by a green circle.
Click on the result.
The popup window opens right next to the selected School.
Zoom to the selected School
Change the Basemap to Imagery.
The popup is obstructing the view.
This is a problem!
The solution is to open the Popup Panel Widget.
Notice how the Popup information immediately shows up in the Popup Panel.
To get a better view of the School, first disengage any active drawing tools under the By Shape Tab.
Now you will be able to pan around the map.
Drag the map so you can see the entire School.
Move the Enhanced Search Widget out of the way by dragging the header to get a better view of the School.
This is how it works for point features.
Next, try selecting a polygon feature.
Open the By Value Tab.
Set Search Layer = ZIP Codes
Accept the default ZIPCODE = 85007
Press Search
Click on the Result
The attributes are displayed inside the Popup Panel.
This comes very handy when you need to display a long list of attributes.
The graphic is not obstructed.
Notice, you cannot move the Popup Panel in this configuration.
To get more flexibility, use the Launchpad Theme.

In this theme you can freely move and resize the widgets.
I am selecting a City - a Polygon feature.
The long list of attributes are displayed in the Popup Panel.
You get an unobstructed view of the City boundary.
Hello Robert,
I had a couple questions and hoping you could help out if you get the time. I'm using your latest enhanced search widget. I have my date field using the "Short Day Long Time" format and I have "Use UTC" unchecked. However, when results come back, the date is correct but the time is always 4 hours earlier than it should be.
Below are screenshots for this. The 1st one shows you the 2 dates in the raw SQL format. Below that are the results for those same 2 records. You can see for both results, the time is 4 hours earlier than the correct times in the SQL table. This tells me that the esearch widget is trying to use UTC.
Is this a known bug or is there a workaround that you know of so that I can show the correct times and not use UTC?
Additionally, in the 4th screenshot below, the date format in the attribute table does not match the format of the dates in the results window (2nd screenshot). It's only showing the date & not the time. Do you know how I can configure the attribute table to show the date/time in the same format as the results format?
Thank you in advance,
Mike
