Thumbnails in pop up window

[TimHayes]

I am trying to get a thumbnail of a hyperlinked photo to show up in the pop-up window when you click on a point. All works great, hyperlink is there and when I click on it the photo shows up in a separate tab, except no thumbnail view appears, in its place is an empty icon which you can click on to open the photo in a separate tab. Here is the xml code I used:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <fields>GPS_Pt_Loc,Material,Color,Diameter,Depth_Belo,HYPERLINK</fields>
    <titlefield>Material</titlefield>
    <links>
     <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="img" icon=""
          linkalias="" linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
     <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="text" icon=""
          linkalias="Show Image..." linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
    </links>
    <multiimagefield linkprefix="" linksuffix="" nexttooltip="Next" prevtooltip="Prev"></multiimagefield>
    <layername>Exposed_Pipes_GPS_Test</layername>
    <datefields></datefields> <!-- field in milliseconds -->
    <zoomscale>2500</zoomscale>
    <csvseparator>,</csvseparator>
    <labels>
     <csvdefaultname>Related Records</csvdefaultname>
  <exportbtnlabel>Export...</exportbtnlabel>
  <export2csvoptionlabel>Export to CSV...</export2csvoptionlabel>
  <export2txtoptionlabel>Export to Txt...</export2txtoptionlabel>
    </labels>
</configuration>

Timothy,

   Why do you have the link in there twice?

<links>
    <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="img" icon=""
        linkalias="" linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
    <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="text" icon=""
        linkalias="Show Image..." linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
</links>

And what does the content of one of your HYPERLINK fields look like?

Timothy,

<links>
    <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="img" icon=""
        linkalias="" linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
    <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="text" icon=""
        linkalias="Show Image..." linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
</links>

And what does the content of one of your HYPERLINK fields look like?

I have two fields, one with just the Photo name (photox.jpg) for which I used this code:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <fields>GPS_Pt_Loc,Material,Color,Diameter,Depth_Belo,Photo_1</fields>
    <titlefield>Material</titlefield>
    <links>
     <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="img" icon=""
          linkalias="Show Image..." linkprefix="\\myservername\driveletter\folder\subfolder\" linksuffix="">Photo_1</linkfield>
    </links>
    <multiimagefield linkprefix="" linksuffix="" nexttooltip="Next" prevtooltip="Prev"></multiimagefield>
    <layername>Exposed_Pipes_GPS_Test</layername>
    <datefields></datefields> <!-- field in milliseconds -->
    <zoomscale>2500</zoomscale>
    <csvseparator>,</csvseparator>
    <labels>
     <csvdefaultname>Related Records</csvdefaultname>
  <exportbtnlabel>Export...</exportbtnlabel>
  <export2csvoptionlabel>Export to CSV...</export2csvoptionlabel>
  <export2txtoptionlabel>Export to Txt...</export2txtoptionlabel>
    </labels>
</configuration>



For Hyperlink field, the values are \\myservername\driveletter\folder\subfolder\photox.jpg

Here is the xml file for this approach:


<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<configuration>
    <fields>GPS_Pt_Loc,Material,Color,Diameter,Depth_Belo,HYPERLINK</fields>
    <titlefield>Material</titlefield>
    <links>
     <linkfield icon_or_text_or_img="img" icon=""
          linkalias="Show Image..." linkprefix="" linksuffix="">HYPERLINK</linkfield>
    </links>
    <multiimagefield linkprefix="" linksuffix="" nexttooltip="Next" prevtooltip="Prev"></multiimagefield>
    <layername>Exposed_Pipes_GPS_Test</layername>
    <datefields></datefields> <!-- field in milliseconds -->
    <zoomscale>2500</zoomscale>
    <csvseparator>,</csvseparator>
    <labels>
     <csvdefaultname>Related Records</csvdefaultname>
  <exportbtnlabel>Export...</exportbtnlabel>
  <export2csvoptionlabel>Export to CSV...</export2csvoptionlabel>
  <export2txtoptionlabel>Export to Txt...</export2txtoptionlabel>
    </labels>
</configuration>

Timothy,

   I have noted many times in the past to people on these forums UNC paths are for INTRANET use and not intended for INTERNET use. You should setup a virtual directory to your UNC path that way you can use and ACTUAL URL in the field instead.
