Can't Post
|
|
Hi,
I would like to create a listing field of type checkbox. The values are a name with a hyperlink on it.
I configured the field like:
Project (1234567 <a href="project1234567.html">Projectdescription 1234567</a>,9876543 <a href="project9876543.html">Projectdescription 9876543</a>)
The hyperlink do not show up in the page.
Is there any way to to this?
Thanks, Joep

Hi Joep,
Thanks for the post!
If I'm followin you correctly you have created a new listings field but the contents of this listings field are not showing up in your published files. Is this correct? If so have you already done the following:
- Added the listings field placeholder (lfieldX) to your template files.
- Re-published your listings.
If not you may want to give these possibilities a try and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask. :)
Cheers,

Thanks for your reply.
The contents do show up. However, the link has been removed.
Please paste in the value in my first post on your demosite and you will understand what I mean.
Thanks, Joep

Hi Joep
Thanks for the update!
I think I see what's happening there. When you create a new drop down in your system, the values you tell it to display are appearing in a drop down menu like this:
<select>
<option>Option 1</option>
</select>
The problem is that if you put a whole URL in there, only the link text gets used. Everything in the <a> tag gets stripped out.
As an example, if I hade <a href="www.interactivetools.com">Click here</a> as the selected option, only "Click Here" would be passed through.
What you want to do is set this drop down up so that only the URL is an option. Then on your template you would turn it into a link like this:
<a href="$lfield16$">
Does that make sense? Let me know what you think  .

Thanks for your reply.
I understand your solution. However, then only a link is possible.
For example:
I would like to get this:
Project A <a href="http://www.somedomain.com/project x">Click here for details</a>
Your suggestion can only result in (correct me if I am wrong):
<a href="http://www.somedomain.com/project x">http://www.somedomain.com/project x</a>

Hi there.
You are correct. My link would end up with the URL being your link text. If you wanted to also be able to specify the link text, you would need to create a new field in your system so that you ended up with something like this:
<a href="$lfield16$">$lfield17$</a>
Does that make sense? Let me know if you need more details on how to set that all up .

Hmmm. That would not be a good idea (from a maintainability point of view).
I think this cannot be done in a non-ugly way.
Thanks anyway.
