Clickable FusionMap Markers

[Zeddicus]

I have downloaded the FusionMaps Trial and so far like what I can accomplish. Is there a way to include the map marker with the link for that entity? If a user sees the marker they will try to click on it and right now it does nothing.

 

 

 

Thank You .

Yes - you can define link for each marker using link attribute.

[Zeddicus]

Duhh...I had the link in the wrong place instead of ...Thank you for your help.

Where specifically in the .xml is the link attribute for a marker?

 

 

 

Thank you.

[Zeddicus]

Hello Celeste,

 

 

 

I placed the link inside the application/marker tag with the following line: link='JavaScript:community(810,"va")'.

 

The complete line will be marker id='810' shapeId='myCutomeShape' link='JavaScript:community(810,"va")'

 

:)Hope this helps.

Thanks for assistance....I'm still doing something wrong. If I want to actually put another page on the url as a link, any idea how that is supposed to look? I've gotten various errors from invalid xml data to the old reliable error in loading data.

 

 

 

I need for my marker to go to another page on the site. There's only about 4 places in the gui area that you can edit those lines. I guess I just haven't found the right one yet

 

 

 

This is what is NOT working:

 

marker id="RTMI' shapeId='circle' link='http://url.com/pagename.html' /

Oops.......forgot that sometimes "testing maps" don't always work. Got the markers linking now

Please be more specific with a sample string.

I tried to insert the link attribute ...this is the line code: _{<application>}

_{<marker id='1' shapeId='1' link='http://phpmytvtms.it' />} this doesn't work

I have images for marker type....

please give me a little support.

This should work. Can you send the XML at attachment?

[eudosia]

Here it is my code in Italy.xml file.

Thanks

It does seem to work - I just tried your XML and clicked on the marker. It takes to the defined URL.

[eudosia]

Yes, now It'working.

Hello,

 

 

 

I'm having the same issue with a map I'm working on. Trying to test with my first link located on the map at Little Rock AK. The cursor changes, but no link. I've attached the XML for your convenience.

 

 

 

Thanks,

Hi,

The link seems to work fine and it opened the given url.

Just so you know, the link was not working when running on my computer (Mac OS 10.5). I tested the link from my web server and it (finally) worked. Is that how it's supposed to happen? I'm not that familiar with Flash so a little input would be helpful. Thanks.

When running Flash files from local file system, a security layer disallows JS links. But when running from server, the same is activated.
