URL Link Text

[Linnane]

Hi,

Using - Version 6.2.1 (Build 6405),
Is there a way to display a peice of text (dynamic or static) as the link text for URL ... All I can get is the URL displayed itself ... looks very untidy and unprofessional (esp with long URLs)

Regards
Linnane.

At which place do you have that link? Screenshot?

Hi,

Its just on the Account overview (see the attached), I'd also have some on the Opportunities. I just used the admin Studio to create the field.

Thanks for getting back to me

You could add 'customCode' definition in custom/modules/<modulename>/metadata/detailviewdefs.php like this:

           array (
            'name' => 'bingmap_c',
            'customCode' => '<a href="{$fields.bingmap_c.value}">The label I want to see</a>',
            'label' => 'LBL_BINGMAP',
...
          ),

Hi,

Thanks again for your reply ...
Its a solution and I'll use it if I can't find anything more generic for all URL's.


Is there anything more generic that I could use ... maybe to use the
Help txt or the Comment txt for all URL's ?

I presume you don't know of any module/plugin that adds something to the studio that I could use?

I think it is the simpliest way to do it.
but you also could try to customize the url field type under directory: includes/SugarFields/Fields/Links/
