How to make an extra field a link

[Eric Barnes +]

If you create an extra field that allows a url to be entered then this will hopefully help explain how to do it.

Step 1 - Create the extra field in administration and then write down or remember the field id.

Step 2 - Open the viewlisting.tpl template file and locate:

{foreach from=$extrafields item=extras}
<tr>
    <td><strong>{$extras.title}:</strong></td>
    <td>
        {if isset($extras.value)}
            {foreach key=key item=item from=$extras.value}
                {$item}<br />
            {foreachelse}
                {$extras.value}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    </td>
</tr>
{/foreach}

Next replace it with this:

{foreach from=$extrafields item=extras}
<tr>
    <td><strong>{$extras.title}:</strong></td>
    <td>
        {if isset($extras.value)}
            {foreach key=key item=item from=$extras.value}
                {if $extras.fID==1} {* 1 is the id you got from step 1 *}
                {$item|linkurl:30}
                {else}
                {$item}<br />
                {/if}
            {foreachelse}
                {$extras.value}
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
    </td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
