Popups with multiple hyperlinks

AshleyPeters · ‎09-13-2011

I'm relatively new to Flex Viewer and I'm having a problem when I manipulate the compiled code for the Popups. I'd like to have multiple hyperlinks available. Here's my code:

<configuration>
 <title>{Name}</title>
 <description>
 <![CDATA[The {NameLookup} (FW Acquisition #{AcqNum}) was acquired on {Date}. The tract is located in {County} and consists of {PDFAcres} acres. More tract info: <a href="{TractInfoL}" target='_blank'>Click Here</a> Hunting Regulations: <a href="{HuntingReg}" target='_blank'>Click Here</a> Info on adjacent State Park or WMA: <a href="{PartOfLink}" target='_blank'>Click Here</a> ]]>
 </description>
 <fields>
<field name="Name"/>
 <field name="NameLookup"/>
 <field name="AcqNum"/>
 <field name="Date"/>
 <field name="County"/>
 <field name="PDFAcres"/>
 <field name="TractInfoL"/>
 <field name="HuntingReg"/>
 <field name="PartOfLink"/>
 </fields>
<linkfield>TractInfoL</linkfield>
<linkfield>HuntingReg</linkfield>
<linkfield>PartOfLink</linkfield>
</configuration>

Everything seems to be working okay, but my links are not cutting off where they should. Instead of just 'click here' being the link, it follows through until the next <a href>. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Ashley,

If you are going to manually insert the html hyperlinks your self as you are doing then there is no need to list the linkfield in the xml as well.

<configuration>
    <title>{Name}</title>
    <description>
        <![CDATA[The <b>{NameLookup}</b> (FW Acquisition  #{AcqNum}) was acquired on {Date}. The tract is located in {County} and  consists of {PDFAcres} acres. <br><br><br>More tract  info: <a href="{TractInfoL}" target='_blank'><font><font  color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>Hunting Regulations:  <a href="{HuntingReg}" target='_blank'><font><font  color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>Info on adjacent State  Park or WMA: <a href="{PartOfLink}"  target='_blank'><font><font color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>]]>

Robert,

I removed the linkfields and that did not solve the problem.

Ashley,

OK, I think I see your syntax issue:

<configuration>
    <title>{Name}</title>
    <description>
        <![CDATA[The <b>{NameLookup}</b> (FW Acquisition  #{AcqNum}) was acquired on {Date}. The tract is located in {County} and  consists of {PDFAcres} acres. <br><br><br>More tract  info: <a href="{TractInfoL}" target='_blank'><font  color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>Hunting Regulations:  <a href="{HuntingReg}" target='_blank'><font  color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>Info on adjacent State  Park or WMA: <a href="{PartOfLink}"  target='_blank'><font color="0xFFFFFF">Click  Here</font></a><br><br>]]>
    </description>
    <fields>
    <field name="Name"/>
        <field name="NameLookup"/>
        <field name="AcqNum"/>
        <field name="Date"/>
        <field name="County"/>
        <field name="PDFAcres"/>
        <field name="TractInfoL"/>
        <field name="HuntingReg"/>
        <field name="PartOfLink"/>
    </fields>
</configuration>

Thanks Robert! That solved the problem.

On a similar note, not all of the cells in the link columns are filled in in the MXD. For example, hunting is not allowed on Coldwater Mtn in Calhoun County so that link doesn't need to show for that property.

Is there a way to show only the links that are applicable to a given property?
