web links display

web links display was created by raniko
Hi. Based on my review of other posts, I don't think its possible to display web links on profiles in a tab based on the "author" like you can for articles, but I figured i would ask.

I know I can create cb fields to accomplish this, but it would be helpful to know if there is a module or a tab that can accomplish this as well. I expect to have users posting links periodically and creating fields would get cumbersome after awhile.

Thanks!

Only way is to add multiple web address fields. Aside from that am not aware of any other solution. Next release of CB Query Field maybe able to do it as it'll be able to output multiple rows of a SELECT query and you could query Joomlas database for the weblinks (I assume you're currently using Joomlas weblinks component?).

Yup, currently using weblinks component. I'm trying to create an alternate method using cb fields now... Is there any way to shorten the cb webaddress field display? The links I am trying to allow users to add are deep links, so they tend to be long. I'd love to have the ability to either: 1) add text that would then link to the correct url or 2) only show a certain a number of characters of the link when displayed on the profile. Are either of these currently possible?

Thanks.

1) add text that would then link to the correct url

This is very doable. Please edit your Web Address fields and set the parameter "Type" to "Hypertext and URL".

2) only show a certain a number of characters of the link when displayed on the profile

You could use the "Max Length" parameter while editing a Web Address field.

If you still want to use Weblinks you could use the new release of CB Query Field with the below configuration and it'll display on profile all their weblinks on a user by user basis.

Query: SELECT `title`, `url` FROM `#__weblinks` WHERE `created_by` = [user_id]
Output: Multiple Rows
Row:
<div><a href="[column_url]">[column_title]</a></div>
