Hyperlink widget

NinaRihn — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 14:53:51 GMT

is there such a thing as a widget I can put in the widget container that you can click to simply open and external file or website? I currently have my "help" as a static image widget, but if I want to place the widget icon with the other icons, the user has to click it to open the Help widget, then click the help widget again to open the actual Help html file.

Thank you!! that is awesome and exactly what I need. I noticed on your sample view of the application yours was a dropdown list of links, which would be really nice or something else I want to do. How can I make that happen? Otherwise, I can live with individual icons.. thanks, as always for your great widgets and presence in the forums..

Nina,

An example of how to configure that is in the download. It is called config-link.xml.

Don't forget to mark the thread as answered as indicated in my previous post.
