 * Hi
 * Is there no way to have URL validation implemented?
 * I have a custom field for category taxonomy and selected website as field type.
 * However, on the UI there is no validation that it is an URL.

 * Did you check the additional field options when you select the text field as 
   a ‘website’ field?
 * There are quite a few (require www, remove www, etc.) as evidenced from this

 * Are none of them working for you as intended, or did you want Pods to ‘test’ 
   the URL for you?

 * No they are not, when I try to edit the category and add something in the field,
   it does not validate www.
 * There is no UI Validation on the text fields for the advanced format selected.
 * Recreate:
    Create a pods for category Create a custom field with advanced www
   Go to a category note the field has no validation

 * I did just test this with our current version of Pods 2.5.2.
 * I get the pop-up ‘Please enter a URL’ for one where I left the http:// off and
   where I chose http:// but remove www. I also had it add the www when I left it
   off when I changed the formatting to require www if no sub-domain listed.

   issue now, thanks.
