I created a Map Web Part in Sharepoint.  I uploaded three shapefiles to my SQL Server 2008 using the Spatial Data Assistant from MapIt.  I then made a connection to my SQL server through the Web Map Part and added the layers to my map so that my data overlaid on my basemap in Sharepoint.  In my sewers layer attribute table, I have a link column, which is eventually going to link to drawings, but for now, I am simply trying to get it to link to our company website.   The desired end result is to click the sewer within the ArcGIS Map Web Part in Sharepoint, then have the popup appear, then they can click on the link.  How do I get my ???Link??? field to actually be an active hyperlink so that when a user clicks a sewer, the pop up appears, and they can then click on the link, which will open a new window with the link content?

I have attached my desired result (minus the active hyperlink).
Thanks

Hi,

I don't have an answer to your question but would like to have the same functionality. Did you find a solution to this?  Also, I would like to know what control you have used to get that pop up? Is that a InfoWindow?

Thanks!

Hello,
again no answer!
I also would like to have an Hyperlink in the SharePoint Pop-Up window.
Can please someone from ESRI tell us if this is even possible? I know Hyperlinks work for Data that comes from SharePoint but with a Layer from ArcGIS WMS???
Thanks for any help!

Well for the way that your doing it I would almost create a new field that would contain the URL, I don't know the web part that your looking at so I can't say much there but if the Shapefile has its attributes shared via a List than you should be able to access that in a Web Part

Beginning with Esri Maps for SharePoint 3.0, we're moving away from the Silverlight-based ArcGIS Map Web Part and focusing on the JavaScript-based Esri Maps Web Part. The Esri Maps Web Part now supports hyperlinks in pop-ups. Please let me know if you have additional questions on this.

Hi Katy - Ok, so let's say I used one of the default webapp templates for arcgisonline and uploaded the "app" to my arcgisonline account (so it's "ESRI hosted" vs. being on our own servers) - could I insert functioning hyperlinks into the popups in this scenario? Specifically I would like to point them to SharePoint file locations so a client could click on one of their reports and view - is that possible? Or do I have to load all of these pdfs to the cloud as documents?

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

So in your scenario, you're talking about doing everything from the ArcGIS Online side of things. At that point, any SharePoint file location is simply a hyperlink, and as long as your clients have permissions to view those pages in SharePoint, they'll open up the same as any other web link.

The origins of this particular thread date back to when our Esri Maps for SharePoint (formerly ArcGIS for SharePoint) product did not support hyperlinks in pop-ups.

Hope that helps,

Katy

Ah - that explains it, some of what I was reading in various threads etc. must be referring to those earlier times/pop-ups - thanks for the info! That's exactly what I needed to know.
