Pop-up in Flex 3.6 - How do you configure a hyperlink to a PDF file?

[DevonHedemark1]

How do I configure a pop-up to include a hyperlink to a PDF?  I use this syntax below in the eSearch widget and it works.

<links>

                <link alias="Open Assessor Map" disablelinksifnull="true">

                    <![CDATA[PDF\{publish_RDDGIS_PCLCOMP_APBOOKPAGE}.PDF]]>

                    <icon><![CDATA[assets/images/w_link.png]]></icon>

</link>

I have searched and can't seem to find an example.  I have looked over the widget help and documentation and do not seee an example of a PDF link.

Devon,

  Popups will automatically add  link if (and only if) the field begins with http or https.So you can not use a UNC path to your pdf. Another way some accomplish this is to add a media with type image and have some generic image such as a adobe pdy icon and then specify the link in the imagelink attribute:

     <medias>
        <media type="image" caption="PDF Link" imagesource="{URL}" imagelink="{URL}"/>
    </medias>

Thanks Robert!  I was starting to figure this was the case but wanted to confirm.  Not sure if I can ask one more question here of should put it in a new thread but here goes:

I just want to remove the thousand separator from one field in the pop-up but can't seem to get the syntax correct.

Here is my pop-up configuration.

<configuration>
    <title>APN: {publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.PIN}</title>
    <fields>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.Parcels.Tempkey" alias="GIS#" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.SITUSADDRESS" alias="Situs Address" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.APT" alias="Unit#" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.OWNERNAME1" alias="Owner Name" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.OWNERADDRESS" alias="Owner Address" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.OWNERCITY"   alias="Owner City" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.OWNERSTATE"   alias="Owner State" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.OWNERZIP"   alias="Owner Zip" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.PCLCOMP.LUGROUP"   alias="Land-Use Group" visible="true"/>
        <field name="publish.RDDGIS.Parcels.ACRES"   alias="Acres" visible="true"/>
    </fields>
    <showattachments>true</showattachments>

</configuration>

I try this with no luck:

<field name="publish.RDDGIS.Parcels.Tempkey" alias="GIS#" visible="true">

<format usethousandseparator ="false"/>

I have been hunting but can't seem to get it right.  You have probably answered these same questions for years.

Devon,

  Sure thing. You are just missing the second "s" in usethousandsseparator
