Problems with html coding and url field

    Hello,

    have in my custom template integrates a URL field, but in the post the link is not actice. is not that the point of a URL field, that the link in the output is active then?
    I mean I'd already asked this question once, but can not even find the topic ... :)

    So at the moment I have to activate links manually. To do this, I turn to the post editor to "Visual", and suddenly some of the formatting which I have stored in the custom template disappeared. I´m missing div´s, breaks and returns, and occasionally I also have a space where I do not want to have.

    Gravity Forms forcing me to activate links manually, and if I do that, my code is destroyed. with one new post a week is not really bad, but I have bigger things before.

    Where is the magic button to fix this problem?
    Or have you fix it in 1.6 Version?

    Thanks,

    Westendeb

  2. If you are using a custom field in a template, you should modify the template to hyperlink the URL. Otherwise it's just text.

    Can you post the code in your template that is displaying this field for you? It might just need a small modification. You will not have to do this manually for each post. We need to make a change so it happens automatically every time.

    Hi,

    here the Code, the URL field see bottom, "{Backlink Website:28} ":

    <h1>{Titel of your Story / Report:9}</h1><h2>{Provinz:33}, {Tourist Route / Area:32}, {Date:37}</h2>
    {Main Article / Report / Post:11}

    <div style="margin-bottom:10px; margin-top: 10px; border-bottom: 1px #CCCCCC dotted;"></div>

    <h5>{This story was provided to us by:27} {Name of your company, establishment or person:2}, 
    {Backlink Website:28}</h5>

    Thanks,

  4. It's hard to tell looking at the format here, but I believe you want to change the bottom line to this:

    [html]
    <a href="{Backlink Website:28}">{Backlink Website:28}</a>

    That will link the text.
