Adding Links

TimMarquardt — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 21:12:39 GMT

It appears that the functionality for adding links (under the Attributes tab) is not working. I enter a URL and every link opens a new browser tab opening to a blank page. Any help??

Thanks !

Tim,

When you click "Add New Link" the first thing that you are specifying is the text that will appear in the link, next you double click on the "Double click to edit link URL" and this is where you enter the URL. Hope this helps.

I'm totally piggy backing off this thread but wanted to ask a related question...

It's easy to add links and easy to add them in the WAB Developer edition. But, can you change the font style of these links? Particularly just putting in an underline (or changing the color)?

"links":[
    {
      "url": "http://www.arcgis.com",
      "label": "ArcGIS Online"
    }
  ],

This is in the config.json file.

Adrian,

sure just add this css rule to your chosen themes common.css file:

.jimu-link:link, .jimu-link:visited {

text-decoration: underline;

}

Robert,

You're the best. I'll try this out tomorrow. Thanks!

Edit: Worked like a charm! Thanks again Robert.
