CMV Geocoder widget - adding a location symbol

Question

Is there a geocoderOption to have a symbol dropped on the map for a location searched for with the CMV Geocoder widget?

Answer 1

Trae,

Here's how I accomplished this for a client:

define([
 'esri/symbols/PictureMarkerSymbol'
], function (PictureMarkerSymbol) {
 return {
 map: true,
 mapRightClickMenu: true,
 expanded: true,
 collapsible: false,
 geocoderOptions: {
 autoComplete: true,
 zoomScale: 500,
 maxLocations: 20,
 highlightLocation: true,
 symbol: new PictureMarkerSymbol({
 angle: 15,
 xoffset: -12,
 yoffset: 24,
 type: 'esriPMS',
 url: 'http://static.arcgis.com/images/Symbols/Basic/RedFlag.png',
 contentType: 'image/png',
 width: 18,
 height: 18
 }),
 arcgisGeocoder: {
 placeholder: 'Search for an Address'
 }
 }
 };
});

This was done in the separate geocoder.js config file in a common folder shared by all applications. You'll need to merge this with your own configuration settings.
