How to Change the Search Box Placeholder Text for the Viewer for HTML5

Overview:
By default, all HTML5 viewers will use translation strings in the Mapping.en-US.json.js file found in in the viewer's Locales directory (usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Html5Viewer\Resources\Locales).  It is possible to configure a HTML5 viewer to use a different locale file so it will display different text than the default “Search…” in the global search box.

Solution:

Instructions

1. Browse to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Html5Viewer\Resources\Locales and make a copy of Mapping.en-US.json.js.  Make a note of the name
2. Optionally move your copy to the Sites folder for the target site, or to a folder accessible for web hosting.
3. Edit the new file and search for:

   "language-search-placeholder": "Search...",

   and replace "Search..." with the text you would like to appear in your viewer. 
4. Save the file.
5. Browse to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Latitude Geographics\Geocortex Essentials\Default\REST Elements\Sites\[YOURSITENAME]\Viewers\[YOURVIEWERNAME]\VirtualDirectory\Resources\Config\Default and edit the Desktop.json.js file.
6. Configure the uri for your updated locale file by editing the following section:

   "id": "Mapping",
            "uri": "Resources/Compiled/Mapping.js",
            "locales": [
              {
                "locale": "en-US",
                "uri": "Resources/Locales/[NEW FILE NAME FROM STEP 2].json.js"
              }         
   ]

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for Tablet.json.js and Handheld.json.js.
8. Save and load viewer in browser.
