Making fields with URLs clickable

[lmiller]

How do I make fields, other than the Website field become a click-able URL? I use a text field, that is auto-populated, to create a URL that can be clicked, to open up a different page, preferably in a new tab/window like the existing website link does

show your field on detailview.php as

 'customCode' => '<a href="{$fields.name.value}">{$fields.name.value}</a>'

where is that php file located at? i see a file named view.detail.php in /modules/accounts/views is that right?

Nevermind, I found it, it was locade in /custom/modules/Accounts/metadata/detailviewdefs.php

Once I added the code

 'customCode' => '<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q={$bean->gtd_term_c}" target="_blank">Google Search</a>' 
  

under the section for the field that I wanted it to work for, I did a quick repair and rebuild and everything was up and running correctly.

How about making this styled as the buttons? I really appreciated this answer and it showed me something I've been looking for for a while, but in looking at the file referenced above and trying to adapt one of the previous buttons to make a Google search of the full name it doesn't work.

when you write 'customCode' => 'here goes html what ever you want'

to reference the value of some field you use smarty tags {$fields.nameOfField.value} and it's value will be printed.

I am trying to do something similar, but my php skills are non-existent. I need to add a prefix on to the website tab to complete the URL.
Am using Version 6.1.1 CE (Build 5512) and have found the following reference on the detailviewdefs.php file.

array (
'name' => 'website',
'type' => 'link',
'label' => 'LBL_WEBSITE',
'displayParams' =>
array (
'link_target' => '_blank',
),
),

but have no idea where to put the custom code in. The prefix that I want to use would be something like e.g. 'www.example.com/search/show.php?id='

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks. Sandy
