"@jb510" or not (custom field validation?). </p> <p>I've got a similar scenario with facebook/foursquare/Flickr URLs, where I'd like to automatically pull their ID out of the full URL. For example given: <a href="https://foursquare.com/v/foursquare-hq/4ab7e57cf964a5205f7b20e3" rel="nofollow">https://foursquare.com/v/foursquare-hq/4ab7e57cf964a5205f7b20e3</a> . I'd like to just store Venue ID and then later generate several links that use it and FourSquare's API. Maybe it's beter just to require the user to pull their ID out of the URL in most cases, but still wondering if GF has any tools to accommodate such a thing. </p>
