Need URL to open in Current window

Keithzammit

Hey Guys,

SUPER URGENT question! I have a project where the client would like the map to have a number of links at the top and these links would take the user to another site with another map. Now it's important that the current session closes. I am currently using the link available from the (title and Links) option in the viewer but clicking on these just opens a new window and leaves the current one open! Any ideas?

I also found the code in the config/application.xml file which takes care of these links:

<HelpLinks>
    <HelpLink>
      <Url>http://www.newurl.com</Url&gt;
      <DisplayText>newUrl</DisplayText>
    </HelpLink>
  </HelpLinks>

Maybe I can modify that to make it target the same window it's in?

You can change this by modifying the map layout that you are using. You need to find the correct layout xaml by looking in the .../config/layouts folder. In your layout xaml there should be a section for the HelpLinks. The line you need to search for will be <HyperlinkButton NavigateUri="{Binding Url}" TargetName="_blank" Foreground="{StaticResource AccentTextColorBrush}" >. You need to change TargetName="_blank" to TargetName="_self".

Each layout is dirrefernt so i can't tell you which line it will be in the xaml. if you can't find it just let me know which layout you are using and i will take a look at that specific layout.

Hope that helps..
