XF 1.3 custom profile fields / how to make it into a Link ?

[erich37]

Hello,

I have created a "User Profile / Custom Field" named "Website" and another field named "E-mail".
These fields are not "linked", but normal text.

How can I make these fields, so that they will appear as click-able Links ?



Many thanks!

does anyone have an idea of how to do this ?

See the "value display HTML" option. You can use that to adjust the output appearance.

thanks, I figured out the correct code via this thread:

Is it correct to use the code like this ?

<a href="{$value}" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{$value}</a>

What would I need to enter into the field "value display HTML" in order to make a "custom field" click-able which is displaying an "E-mail-address" ?



Thanks again!

For an email, the href value should be "mailto:{$value}".

Note that it's important that you use the email/URL value match requirement for these fields.

can I keep the "nofollow" for the E-mail-address, so that search-engines will not index the "E-mail-address" ?

<a href="mailto:{$value}" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{$value}</a>

I guess I will have to skip the "target="_blank" when using it for an "E-mail address" ?

<a href="mailto:{$value}" rel="nofollow">{$value}</a>

Nofollow doesn't make sense on a mailto link - the email address itself would still be "indexed" regardless.
