    Hi i was wondering if there is a feature or extention were you can extend the properties of a field to accept variables. for instance i have a field were a url is placed and i would like to show the value from another field and the value links to the url

    Or some kind of computed field that kan be manipulated

    THanx

    I am not sure this will give you what you’re looking for, but the String Combine field works by taking values from other fields and formatting them into a display value.

    Hi
    I was looking at that but what i would like to do is to combine a value from the schoolname with the value of the schoolwebsite(url) and make that clickable. So from the perspective of the link field it would mean you would need two field ofcourse 1 would be the url but it would need a second entry that could be filled by just a static text or nothing or use the value of anothers fields entry

    how i think it should look like
    Field 1 – title=School name -> fieldname=school_name -> value=teamdoragon
    fiedl 2 – title=School Url -> fieldname=shool_url -> linktext=$shool_name -> linkurl=http://www.teamdoragon.nl

    That would mean the linktext can be a static text, or a variable, or nothing then you just display the link

    or maybe using a computed field could be used to combine values and html then displaying that field per entry in a list

    The String Combine type field can’t be used to combine two values like that, currently it can only be used to put strings together, not actually build a clickable link.

    This is, however, something you can fairly easily do in a custom template if you’ve got some coding skills.
