Hi Forum , is it possible to make clickable URL/link when entered to Custom fields ?
example: TEST URL: https://xenforo.com/community
So https://xenforo.com/community would be hyperlink

Problem is though you can't always assume a URL will be prefixed with http:// (it might be https://) and you can't always assume that www. will work. Adding either of these things technically make it a completely different URL. Also your method won't stop people from adding the http:// or www. again. So that will really break things.

You can't have it all ways. If you want it to be a URL it must be asserted as a valid URL or expect it to be broken.

I checked it and it makes no difference if you use http:// or https:// . And also it works with www. and without www. The problem is, as you say, that when someone adds a http:// (who would do that ? ), then it breaks it.

Yes, we can't have it all ways. I wish it could be easy to use and displayed in message user info but without being too long.
So, I think I will go with your way then, but I won't display the url, so the message user info doesn't look ugly.

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

and by having value match requirement url.

I apologise it should be:

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

{$valueUrl} would be used if it was, for example, some sort of parameter that should go inside a URL. Otherwise the {$value} should be used instead.

That was very helpful! Now, could I use an icon instead of text for the link?

Right now I have this - The member's home page is showing a globe icon on the left, but the Custom Field entry I added IMDB and Music site), are only showing text. Could we show icons?



Thanks!

You'd really need to edit the template directly to do that. (Perhaps not inserting the fields automatically, but manually.)

Thank you Mike, I'll vote to keep my sanity for now...

Hi. I've tried using this code to create a hyperlink:

<a href={$value}>Go to Study Program</a>

But this is the result I get:

http://www.mooclab.club/resources/financial-accounting-ii.50/field?field=mooc>Go to Study Program

Any suggestions as to why it's not working?
Thanks for your help

You need quotes around the value:

<a href="{$value}">Go to Study Program</a>

Hi.
I've added the quotes:

<a href="{$value}">Go to Study Program</a>

But I still get this:

http://www.mooclab.club/resources/financial-accounting-ii.50/field?field=mooc">Go to Study Program

I can't see anything obviously wrong.

Have you got more details about the field, its configuration, and where it is displayed?

 

[NinaMcI]

It's a resource field dispayed "Above Resource Description" in a Single-line text box with Value Match Requirements:URL

 

[NinaMcI]

If I copy & paste the link, this is what I get:

http://www.mooclab.club/<a href=

Resource fields are automatically linked, they don't need anything in the value display HTML.

 

[NinaMcI]

But do you know how to create a hyperlink in resource fields so I can display the text that I choose which links to a page?

I've found a way using a Rich Text Box instead of URL. Thanks for your help
