[Chameleon] Link on Query result

[Delfos, Jacob]

Make sure the link is as you want it. E.g. relative to the query folder,
(e.g. '../../whatever.mpg') or absolute (e.g.
'http://yourserver/whatever.mpg'). Whether it is postgis or shapefile
makes no difference.

	If i'm using Postgis instead of shapefiles what can i do??
	
	i've added a column with links with this structure <A
HREF='fileToLinkTo.mpg' TARGET=#>Click to view movie</A> 
	
	
	
	but when i click on the link i go to ---->
http://localhost/chameleon/widgets/Query/mylink and not to 
	http://mylink
	
	
	Jennifer,
	
	If you are using shapefiles, you should be able to put the links
in the attributes.
	The attribute would be a string, of the form:
	
	
	
	<A HREF='fileToLinkTo.mpg' TARGET=#>Click to view movie</A>
	
	If you are using excel, you can use the concatenate function to
have a fixed beginning of the string, vary the link and the name, and
have a fixed ending. Concatenate them, and place it in one cell, then
save to DBF. That is the easiest way to automate it.
	
	
	
	This should work, because we did it ourselves too.
	
	regards,
	
	Jacob

	Subject: [Chameleon] widget within a widget
	
	Hello-
	
	Thank you, Paul, for the tips.  I'll try to better explain what
it is
	
	I want to do.
	
	I would like to be able to offer a link to another website from
within
	
	the pop-up query window.  (E.g. A user would select the query
tool,
	click on a point, which has standard attributes displayed in the
query
	
	window but is also associated with an online movie or an online
	database.)  But I would like the link to appear associated with
the
	
	query result or layer to which it applies (perhaps in an
additional
	result cell or in the same bar as the layer title).  Ideally,
clicking
	
	on this link in the query window will open the specified URL in
	another browser window.
	
	
	Since widgets can't really be embedded within one another, I am
	guessing the Query widget will need to be further modified.  A
	
	colleague of mine and I modified it already to show a photo in
the
	bottom of the query window, the title of which is specified in
the dbf
	
	file for the layer.  My first thought was to somehow build on
this
	functionality (using the dbf to hold the URLs), but it appears
to be a
	
	much more complicated task.
	
	Several colleagues are helping me to figure this one out and we
would
	
	really appreciate any direction you could offer.  Thank you
much!
	
	Jennifer Zeisloft
