Web Address Field Validation Needed was created by Spiralmind
Hello, I found that if I create a web address field and they enter in site.com vs site.com it is a dead link.
Is there a way to force them to add http:// with validation or add it if missing. Otherwise I'll add it to the instructions.
Thank you

http:// is already added by the web address field. How are you displaying the web address field? Normal HTML output of the field properly processes it and adds http:// as needed if missing.

Indeed you are correct. However I am outputting this in a Custom HTML field like this.
It is adding my domain to the URL string in front of their entry if I don't add the http://
So it's like this where birds.com is the entry.

In that case you'll need to add your own custom validation to ensure they provide a URL with http://. You can do this using the "Authorized input" parameter under Parameters > Validation. Set to "Custom PERL regular expression" and then you can supply your own REGEXP for validating the field. If not familiar with REGEXP I suggest the below site to help get started.

What's odd is your system is adding it but only if I use the standard method to show it. So it must be adding the http:// but does not translate to my substitutions?

The http:// is added by the HTML processing of the web address field on display if it's missing. When using [FIELD_NAME] you are using the stored database value so it's not going to have any of that processing.
