How to configure

This feature will work as as described above without any modification needed.
However, to display websites in a pop up overlaying the Map this can be set via the Map Stylesheet.

Navigate to the Stylesheets page, found under the Administration Settings menu.
Find the correct Stylesheet from the list and click Edit.

You must modify the JSON data found above the line /** LINE REQUIRED - CSS BELOW **/.

Here is an example of a customised Stylesheet for the url markers.

To make updates to the URL Marker behaviour the section url_markers will need to be added into the stylesheet JSON section. You can take a copy of the above section, which is displaying the default values.

To update the behaviour of the URL Markers when accessed via a physical kiosk device you can edit popup and qrcode values found under kiosk. Setting the popup option to true, and setting the qrcode option to false.

This will now open URL links in the popup window. Please note that not all website will allow this page to load, so it is advised that this is only used for links that are under your control/domain.

To modify how a users desktop experience is handled you can modify the values in the user section.
Setting popup to true and open_new_tab to false will load the URL as a popup overlaying the Map.
Setting the new_tab_button option to true will display a button in the top right of the pop up allowing the user to then open the URL in a new tab manually.
