Custom field - display as hyperlink

[ChocolateLover]

I downloaded this fantastic package a few days ago and I'm having a go at modifying it.

I'm working in Contacts. I've added a custom field (website) to both the EditView and DetailView and the content of the field is being saved successfully in EditView and displayed in DetailsView.

I'd like to change the way that the contents of the field are displayed and display the field as it is displayed in the Accounts module - that is remove the http:// if it exists (remove_redundant_http) and display as a hyperlink (<A title='http://{WEBSITE}' href='http://{WEBSITE}' target="_blank" class="tabDetailViewDFLink">{WEBSITE}</A>).

I think I can work out the changes, but I'm not sure where the custom fields are processed?

Any help would be greatfully received.

I couldn't find any documentation on customising forms and custom fields, other than what you can do in Studio. If any documentaion exists can someone point me in the right direction please.

Thanks.

Waiting with bated breath to hear the answer to this one as well - we are doing the same thing and need the same change.

This came up in the similar threads area.

Not sure why I didn't see it when I searched.

Basically edit the Modules/ModuleName/DetailView.html file with <A title='http://{WEBSITE}' href='http://{WEBSITE}' target="_blank" class="tabDetailViewDFLink">{WEBSITE}</A> assuming the name of your field was website.

To remove the http:// from the data try copying the remove_redundant_http function from the Accounts module to the Contacts module and add
$this->remove_redundant_http();
to the end of
function fill_in_additional_list_fields()
and
function fill_in_additional_detail_fields()

I decided not to use the field so I haven't tested this.
