I though I had come across this once before but can't quite seem to find it. I had added an extra field in the member registration where they can add their website, but it doesn't hyperlink, even if you add the http:// and also when you view the member profile, viewmember.php the url isn't hyperlinked as well. Like I said I thought I found the answer to this but can't find it Since I'm advertising that companies can link from our site to theirs it would definitely be nice if it was a hyperlink. Thanks
What I did is in the user registration settings, you have 3 blank fields where you can input another field for them to fill out, and I put "website" in one and made it view able for them to fill out.
The extra fields in the user account information was never designed to be used for HTML, it was only designed to accept straight text, therefore any html will be stripped out. In addition, to have a link in any web page (not just 68 Classifieds), the text for the link has to be within an anchor tag (e.g. "<a href=....>link text</a>") which is obviously not going to be produced simply because you put an url in a text field. You could modify the template page that you are going to show the extra field in using the built in Smarty link url modifier if the extra field is available to the template.
Ok . Let us suppose you allow extras2 to be filled in within the user registration. You can put this in your viewlisting template for example. <a href="{$extra2}">{$extra2}</a> However, be aware if they enter rubbish during registration and not HTML: http://www.their-domain.com or some legitimate form of a url it is going to fail and make invalid links coming from your site. You will then be into quite a lot of testing to let the registrant know that his url is incorrectly input. It can be done but you will need to do quite a bit of other coding to make those test in the userjoin.php file.
