Hyperlink in search result

RudieWatzig — Wed, 12 Mar 2014 18:25:49 GMT

Hello, I hope I am posting in the correct forum.

I am very very new to the FLEX api, and I have a very simple question. Actually, there are about 3 things I need to figure out, but I will do one at a time.

I am using the Application Builder version 3.6. I would like to get my search widget to display the result as a hyperlink, not just plain text. See attached photo for example:
[ATTACH=CONFIG]32156[/ATTACH]

I imagine I Will have to change this option in my config file somehow?

            <textsearchlabel>Select by attribute</textsearchlabel>
            <titlefield>Name</titlefield>
            <fields>
                <field name="Name" alias="Name"/>
                <field name="Link" alias="Link"/>
            </fields>
            <orderbyfields>Name ASC</orderbyfields>
        </layer>
    </layers>
</configuration>

Thanks for your help.

Rudie,

You need to use the linkfield tag in your layers:

<linkfield alias="More Information">Link</linkfield>

See the help here:

Thank you. Like I said, I'm just figuring this stuff out TODAY. It worked.
