Image and Links in Pop-ups Help

Jesse,

The description tag would just be added to what you have like this:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
  <title>{ElementName}</title>
  <description>
        <![CDATA[<a href='{CamLink}'><u>Link to Site Records</u></a> ]]>
  </description>
  <fields>
        <field name="ElementName" visible="true"/>
        <field name="CamLink" alias="Click for Camera" visible="true"/>
  </fields>
  
  <medias>
    <!-- <media type="image" caption="link" imagesource="{CamLink}" imagelink="{CamLink}"/> -->
  </medias>

</configuration>

You might want to use description tag as follows:

<description>
          <![CDATA[<a href='{doc_url}'><u>Link to Site Records</u></a> ]]>
  </description>

This is what i am looking for.. Just not sure where to put what you have here.. for now the CamLink field is where my url is stored and it works fine...

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
  <title>{ElementName}</title>
  <fields>
        <field name="ElementName" visible="true"/>
    <field name="CamLink" alias="Click for Camera" visible="true"/>
    
  </fields>
  
  <medias>
    <!-- <media type="image" caption="link" imagesource="{CamLink}" imagelink="{CamLink}"/> -->
  </medias>
  

  
</configuration>

Robert,
Now I undersdtand 🙂 Thank you for your help!

Adrian,

What I am talking about doesn't have anything to do with code. What I am Saying is in ArcMap you would add a field to the featureclass that currently has the Raster Field and make it type Text and then populate the field for each feature using the URL for the location of the image that you want to show. Once that is done and you re-publish the map service and clear the REST cache then you can setup the PopUp using that field.

Robert,

Can you give me some code example?

Adrian

Adrian,

Each feature will have a different URL in the field that you add to the featureclass.

Adrian,

OK but if I use URL I will have the same image to layer objects. I want have different image for all objects in layer. Can I do something to solution this problem?

Adrian

Adrian,

Rater fields are not supported by the REST API and thus not supported by the Flex API. You will have to have a field that has a URL to the image.

Hello!

When i started my app i can't see popup window at all.
I don't know Where my mistake?

Robert:
Thanks for the info.

Larry,

A quick Google of "UNC paths and the web" will give you a clue as most results returned deal with errors or bugs or the such.

So you can setup a virtual directory to a specific server and folder that will allow you to access the data in those folders just the way you would the UNC.

So for example //Server1/Folder1/Folder2/image2.jpg
would look like
http://webserver/Folder1/Folder2/image2.jpg
The above is web friendly.

As you might be able to use UNC paths (you should not)... You should setup a virtual directory (if IIS) that points to the folder, so that you have a true URL to use instead.

Why shouldn't one use UNC's? Also, I understand how to create a virtual directory in IIS, but I do not fully understand how to perform the process you are speaking of. In my case, we have about 20 years of projects: each "year" directory is broken down into folders (project no.); each project no. folder is organized by 10 or so "departmental" folders. In our case we'd ONLY be connecting internally to each "departmental" folder via the UNC path.

Thanks!

Scott:
I am using Windows 7/Internet Explorer 8. I'm not sure if that's the difference or not. Before I built my Flex Application, I was using the Web Mapping Application Wizard available within ArcServer. I'm not sure what changed between the Flex application & ArcServer WMA versions, but in the ArcServer WMA version, I had to use the following UNC path format for the hyperlinks to work:

file:///\\servername\folder1\folder2

Maybe give that a shot. Otherwise, I don't know what else it could possibly be. Good Luck!

ScottSnider

Larry I was able to apply your code to create a link inside my popup based on the UNC. When I deploy this compiled application to Beta it on our GIS server the links will not open when clicked on. I can, however, right click and copy the link and paste it into a tab or window and the path opens the correct file. This behavior exists in IE, Chrome, and Firefox. I even tried applying my site to trusted sites and it still will not work. Thoughts?

Scott

For anyone interested, it IS in fact possible to hyperlink a UNC Path within a popup. It requires a little more configuration, but it does work.

1. You have to use the "<![CDATA[..." <Description> Tag in the popup xml, NOT the <fields> tag
2. You have to make sure the "UNC Path" attribute you are trying to link to follows a format similar to this: \\ServerName\FolderName1\FolderName2\ and so on down the directory structure until you reach the folder you'd like to link to.
3. My description tag format follows this structure (the multiple break tags were added to resemble the tabular field format):

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <title>Information</title> 
       
   <description>
 <![CDATA[<b>Project ID:</b> {PROJID}
<br><br><b>Folder:  </b><a href='{FolderUNC}'><u>Folder</u></a>]]>
   </description>

</configuration>

It may not be the most efficient way to accomplish UNC hyperlinking, but it's pretty easy nonetheless.

Each point has approximately 10 attributes which need to be hyperlinked in the popup. Can anyone give me tips on how to best format the popup?

How do I format the UNC paths in the popup to create a hyperlink? Thanks.

I understand now. What you explained makes complete sense - I just didn't put it all together. Thanks.

Larry,

But it IS a child of the parent layer. What I am speaking of is child parent relationships in XML markup. You have a map service that has (sometimes) multiple sub layers and they are given a sequential number starting from 0 to use a popup for one of those sub layers you have to define a sublayer element in the xml file but the way you were doing it the sub layer had not idea that it was a child of the layer because you terminated the layer as shown below:

<layer label="Projects" type="dynamic" visible="true"  url="http://gis.myserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/MappedProjects2/MapServer"/>
<sublayer id = "0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Points.xml"/>

That slash terminated the layer element and indicated that there was no siblings of the element to come after it so the sublayer was orphaned.

Larry,

You are making the same mistake as most do. The sublayer element has to be a child of the layer element.
<layer label="Projects" type="dynamic" visible="true" url="http://gis.myserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/MappedProjects2/MapServer">
    <sublayer id = "0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Points.xml"/>
</layer>

Then I guess I don't understand how to make a popup work in a dynamic layer if it's NOT a child of a layer. Is that possible? If not, what are the alternatives?

Larry,

You are making the same mistake as most do. The sublayer element has to be a child of the layer element.

<layer label="Projects" type="dynamic" visible="true" url="http://gis.myserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/MappedProjects2/MapServer">
    <sublayer id = "0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Points.xml"/>
</layer>

I can't get the popus to work at all. I published an MXD with 3 layers: point, lines, and polygons.

Below is my config.xml code for the "points (0)" layer placed in the operational layers:

<layer label="Projects" type="dynamic" visible="true"
 url="http://gis.myserver.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/MappedProjects2/MapServer"/>
 <sublayer id = "0" popupconfig="popups/PopUp_Points.xml"/>

Code for my PopUp_Points.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <title>Project Info</title>
 
    <fields>
        <field name="PROJID"/>
        <field name="MANAGR"/>
        </field>
    </fields>
</configuration>

Is this the right code for popups in a dynamic layer? Is it considered a "sublayer" in this set of circumstances? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
