Enhanced-Search-Widget-for-FlexViewer Part III

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

All,

   Here is a new thread to post questions and discuss the Enhanched Search Widget. The old thread was getting too long.

Bart,

   That is an option in the eSearchWidget.xml and covered in the configuration.pdf.

Set keepgraphicalsearchenabled to false.

Omg, I´m so sorry! I´ve read the pdf many times, but haven´t noticed this tag...

Thank you for "kick"!

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Bart,

   Not a problem. Let me know if I can do anything to make things clearer in the Docs.

Robert,
Thank you for all of your work in keeping the widgets up to date. 

I am in the process of upgrading my flex site to 3.5 and am having a minor issue with the Enhanced Search.  The search runs properly, but the parcels are not highlighting like they do on the Calhoun County example (see attachment).  I have gone through my eSearchWidget.xml file line by line and compared it to the original in the download, and I can't seem to find the field that would turn on this feature.  I also read through the entire configuration pdf document and I couldn't find anything in their either.

Thanks for your help.

Micah

Micah,

   Check that the layer symbology for your parcels layer is actually polygon symbology and not line symbology.

[MicahVan_Maanen]

The parcels are polygons and the geometry type listed in the ArcGIS Services Directory shows esriGeometryPolygon.  Or is there somewhere else I need to look to verify this?

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Micah,

   I am talking about the symbology tag in the layer tag in your eSearchWidget.xml.

<layer>
    ....
            <symbology>
                <simplelinesymbol color="0x448ccb" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
            </symbology>
        </layer>

[MicahVan_Maanen]

Ok, thanks for the clarification.  I don't have any symbology tags for the layer.  The only symbology listed is near the bottom of the eSearchWidget.xml file in a symbols section.

Do I need to use the symbology tags in the layer in order for them to show up?  When I zoom in I can see the symbology fine, it's only when the map is at the full extent that they are not showing up correctly. 

 
</labels>
<symbols>
        <simplefillsymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.3">
            <outline color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />
        </simplefillsymbol>

        <!-- You can have one or the other, either simplemarkersymbol or picturemarkersymbol 
            defined for your point results NOT BOTH. picturemarkersymbol will override 
            simplemarkersymbol if you do not have it commented out. -->

        <simplemarkersymbol style="square" size="12" color="0xff0000" alpha="0.5" 
            xoffset="0" yoffset="0" angle="0"> <outline style="solid" color="0x000000" 
            alpha="1" width="1"/> </simplemarkersymbol>

        <!--  <picturemarkersymbol url="assets/images/i_search.png" height="30" width="30" xoffset="0" yoffset="0" /> -->

        <simplelinesymbol color="0xff0000" alpha="0.8" width="2" />

</symbols>
</configuration>

[RobertScheitlin__GISP]

Micah,

   OK now that explains it. You need to set this

<removeserchlayersminmaxscale>true</removeserchlayersminmaxscale>

In the newer eSearch widgets it respects scale dependency that is set for that layer.

[MicahVan_Maanen]

Robert,
That fixed it!  Thanks!

Have a Merry Christmas!
