Applying Hyperlink to Gallery Label

(1) Share

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to apply a different hyperlink for every item within a given gallery? Ideally the title of the gallery item would be dynamically inserted into the link being searched to locate a specific document.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

If you have the hyperlink on each item of your data source, then you can certainly do that. I can think of two ways how you can implement this. One way is to use the Launch function in the OnSelect property of your label, and when someone clicks it, you launch the URL that is associated with the item; you may want to make the label to look like a link if you want. Another way is to use an HtmlText control, on which you can define the text that you want to show as a HTML link (<a...>) tag, composing the html text to use both the text you want to display and the URL you want to link. The app below shows both alternatives:

I'm also attaching the app shown below. To open it, save it locally, then go to https://create.powerapps.com, then select Open, Browse, and find the app that you saved.

Hope this helps!

This is very helpful, thank you!

If the data is updated to include additional entries, is there a way to edit links based on a formula for new entries or is this outside the scope of powerapps' functionality? Perhaps you can advise an alternate method of doing something like this.

Once again, thank you for your help

If you can compose the link based on some information that is already in the record, then you may be able to use a formula for that. For example, if the item has an id, and the link uses that id, you can use something like Concatenate("https://my.company.com/items/", id) to create the link.

If that is not the case, then you will have to add an additional column to your data source to create the link, and you can edit it in PowerApps itself - for example, if you are using an edit form, you can add this new field in the form.

Hope this helps!

You can even use a Button control. How this works is:
You have a single line of text called "url" in SharePoint list to store the URL.
Use a button control in the Gallery.
Set "OnSelect" property of button to "Launch(thisItem.url)"
Set the "Visible" property of button to "If(IsBlank(ThisItem.url),false,true)"

The visible property will show button only in record where the url is present and is hidden for records where url is absent as shown below
I hope this Solution helps. Happy PowerApping 🙂
