Implemented Custom fields marked as URL should be links

[AndyB]

It would be a nice feature to make custom user fields marked as URL to be links in the member_view page under information.

You can do this via the "value display HTML" option with more flexibility.

Thank you, Mike. Works perfect!

Glad to have found this, it was bugging me for a while. I did run into one slight issue when trying to set it up.

I'm not sure why Value Display HTML: <a href="{$valueURL}">{$value}</a> does not work but making it <a href="{$value}">{$value}</a> does.
When I had it setup like in the picture it was trying to append the $valueURL to the forum web address.

$valueURL is URL encoded. It's really for partial URLs (query strings, etc).
