Change user submitted url to button on frontend

ljenish · 2025-02-11T18:49:13.065Z

Hi,
I have set up forms for users to submit links/urls
I am using REGEX to validate the links/urls and have made the links/urls clickable on the frontend.
My question is:
I do not want the full url/link on the front end.
What would be the best way to convert (conditional, state, workflow?) a valid link into a button on the front end?

It sounds like you’re saving the URL to the database. In that case, you can reference it in an expression in either of the following places to enable what you envision:

“Link” element’s Destination URL property

“Open an external website” action’s Destination property

Thank you, david
Yes, a simple solution.
I have immersed myself in Bubble and made significant headway, but occasionally, I find myself stumped on tasks that usually end up being solved with relatively simple solutions. I must stop overthinking …
