[SOLVED] Automatically make URL on profile page active link

13 years 3 weeks ago - 13 years 3 weeks ago #159862 by gregwsmi
I've created a field for my users to add their website's address. Is there a way for me to make the field 'active' automatically?
That is to say, if the user enters "www.examplewebsite.com" in the "cb_websiteaddress" field, that URL will become an active link when displayed in their profile.

Thanks for any help,
Greg

PS - I could have sworn I posted this question 5 days ago but, my MyTopics page doesn't show it and neither does a browse through the forum. I do have lapses sometimes...

The web address field already does this, but you need to ensure within CB configuration on the general tab that "Web site Links" is set to "Yes".

Thanks for your help. The 'web address' you refer to – is this a preset field (if so, I can't find it) or is this an option I can apply to a field of my own creation?
I do have "Web site links" set to "Yes".
Thanks,
Greg

Web address fields can be created from Field Management, it is a field type provided by CB.

Now I see it!
It looks like I'll have to go back and recreate that field and repopulate the entries for 20+ users but, at least I know what the answer is now.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards,
Greg
