alias for url in Query Result popup?

HunterCarver — Tue, 08 Mar 2016 20:47:31 GMT

I'm trying to adjust the config_Query.json to use alias text instead of the full url link. The in screen pop-up puts a "More_Info" text instead of showing the actual url but clicking it still takes you to the url. I would like for the Query result to be the same.

"popup": {

"title": "${WellName}",

"fields": [

{

"name": "API",

"alias": "API",

"specialType": "none"

{

"name": "CurrentOperatorName",

"alias": "Operator",

"specialType": "none"

{

"name": "Web_Link",

"alias": "Web_Link",

"specialType": "link"

SOMETHING EQUIVALENT TO ALIAS HERE TO SHOW INSTEAD OF THE URL

}

]

So that it looks like this...

Hunter,

Obviously you have found that this is not a configurable option currently but you can male the code change to handle this by using the WAB Dev version and modifying the Widget.js file _createQueryResultItem function:

you would change the displayValue on line 4:

          else if(specialType === 'link'){
            if(displayValue && typeof displayValue === 'string'){
              fieldValueInWidget = '<a href="' + displayValue +
              '" target="_blank">' + displayValue + '</a>';
              fieldValueInPopup = fieldValueInWidget;
            }
          }

To get this alias from the widgets configuration json though you will have to make a couple more changes as will for that instead of using displayValue you can instead use fieldAlias.
