Hyperlink Logo in config.xml?

[AshleyPeters]

Is it possible to make the logo in the config.xml a hyperlink?

Ashley,

   It is possible if you can edit the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml. DO you have the ability to edit the source code?

[AshleyPeters]

Yes, I'm using FlashBuilder.

Ashley,

   OK, then this is what you need to add to the HeaderControllerWidget.mxml:

1. Just add this to the top where the other private vars are:

   private var linkURL:String;



2. In the widgetConfigLoadedHandler funtion add these lines in the if configXML:

                       linkURL = configXML.logolinkurl;


                    if (linkURL)
                    {
                        logoIcon.buttonMode = true;
                        logoIcon.useHandCursor = true;
                        logoIcon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, img_clickHandler);
                    }

3. Then add this new function:

               private function img_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void


            {
                navigateToURL(new URLRequest(linkURL));
            }

Next add this line in the HeaderControllerWidget.xml:

<logolinkurl>http://www.esri.com</logolinkurl>

Don't forget to click the Mark as answer check and to click the top arrow (promote) as shown below:

Hi,

This is really great and very useful. I was wondering would it be possible to add a label to the hyperlink as you hover over the logo with your mouse.
Thanks

Shane,

  Sure all you need to do is add this line to the others:

                    linkURL = configXML.logolinkurl;                     if (linkURL)                     {
                        logoIcon.toolTip = "Blah blah blah";                         logoIcon.buttonMode = true;                         logoIcon.useHandCursor = true;                         logoIcon.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, img_clickHandler);                     }

All,

If you dont have the ability to edit the source code you can always hide the logo and use the static image widget instead:
