Hello,

Is it possible to have a field that can add <a href</a> in back end? I have a field where I ask user to input web address for medical publications that I would like to change to an actual link in the content and Intro view.

Many thanks

Fernand

Hi

You can just use Typo -> html option in your view  

<a href="/$cck->getValue('some_field');">$cck->getValue('some_field_again');</a>


or use beforestore field from Codepack plugins to alter the value before it is stored.

I tried but it did not work. Should I copy and paste the code you provided in it's entirety or should I change some of it?

You should change field names to match your fields.

Thanks Klas. Almost working but the issue now is that it is adding my site domain right before the external link that was inputted.

www.mysite.com/https://externalsite.com
