It is possible to use a control file to add a URL to a map attachment as follows:

  1. Create a FluidTopicsControlfile.xml control file with an originURL element.

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <controlFile>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <originId>$FTMAP_ID</originId>
                    <attachments>
                        <attachment>
                            <originId>my_attachment</originId>
                            <originUrl>http://my_target_website.com</originUrl>
                        </attachment>
                     </attachments>
             </resource>
        </resources>
    </controlFile>
    
  2. Compress the FluidTopicsControlFile.xml file in a ZIP archive.

  3. Upload the ZIP archive to Fluid Topics through the source used to publish the attachment.
  • Be careful to add http:// or https:// at the beginning of the URL. Otherwise, Fluid Topics will not be able to resolve the URL properly.
  • There is no need to reupload the document.
