You would edit your form, edit the Post Body field that is on your form and then configure the Content Template.</p> <p>If the Content Template on the Post Body field isn't already checked and being used, then you most have implemented it in your theme itself. </p> <p>How did you get it working to begin with? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hyperlinked-links#post-14437 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 20:04:07 +0000 Toppolino 14437@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Ouch I appreciate the help but this is way above my head I'm afraid... :)</p> <p>I have no idea where to find this Content Template, also how to edit the field variable sounds quite mysterious... I am trying to search the forum via google to shed some light on my ignorance, little luck so far..... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hyperlinked-links#post-14433 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:53:57 +0000 Carl Hancock 14433@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If you are using the Content Template then you would edit the Content Template and wrap the field variable that outputs the value in a link like this:</p> <p><code>&lt;a href=&quot;{the field variable}&quot;&gt;{the field variable}&lt;/a&gt;</code></p> <p>It won't look exactly like that, the variable will be different as it is dynamic. But you'd use the same variable for the HREF and the link text. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hyperlinked-links#post-14430 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:31:12 +0000 Toppolino 14430@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I did not touch the theme code so I believe I output via the Content Template functionality... in this case how do I wrap the field variable in a link ...??</p> <p>I mean I would like the visitors to enter the links in the posts and these get automatically published (with clickable links), no intervention no editing from the admin.</p> <p>Thank you so much Carl for the prompt help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hyperlinked-links#post-14429 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 19:21:49 +0000 Carl Hancock 14429@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Only the value is stored as the custom field. Not HTML. The reason why the Website field is hyperlinked in the admin is because the admin turns it into a hyperlink, the data is stored as just a URL.</p> <p>How are you outputting the custom field value in your post? Via the Content Template functionality or via your theme template?</p> <p>If you are using the Content Template then you need to wrap the field variable in a link and output the field variable again as part of the HREF.</p> <p>If you have custom code in your theme to display the custom field then you need to edit your theme and wrap the custom field output in a link and output the custom field twice.. as the HREF and then the link text itself.</p> <p>All that is stored is the website address so you have to turn it into a hyperlink if thats how you want it displayed. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hyperlinked-links#post-14427 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:51:45 +0000 Toppolino 14427@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am testing G Forms, I have a simple Post Field forms where I show up the default fields plus a Custom Field which I want to display the user's website. In the Field Properties&gt;Field Type I chose Website. </p> <p>The form shows up OK and the user can enter the website URL in the field (which also when displayed starts with http://, which is nice).</p> <p>Problem is when the post is displayed the <a href="http://www.whatever.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.whatever.com</a> site is not hyperlinked, you can't click on it.</p> <p>I need to be sure that the links entered are clickable, how can I do that please?? </p>
