Save a clickable URL in to database

[sawan]

Hi Everyone, I checked this in the forums and there is not repeat of the same query. I am trying to save a URL that can then be visible for a user to click on and open the page. If i save to text field it will not show as clickable when the data is visble in a field or RG.

I just want to be able to store urls and then have them in an RG and clickable, is this possible or with a plugin?

Most grateful for any guidance.

You need to attach a workflow with the text/button element you use.

What I would like is to save a url via an input and then display it in an RG as clickable text for someone else to click. if I add buttons to every URL i want to save this is quite time consuming and only something an admin would be able to do rather than a user of the app.

Saving a URL as text is the way to go.

It is when the text is displayed that you need to do something.

If you display a text you’ll have the option to make it recognized as a link :

If you use a button, then you’ll need a workflow and “go to” action.

Save it in database as text.

@sawan

then display it in an RG as clickable text

Display the dynamic text (URL user added)

@sawan

clickable text for someone else to click

Add the workflow on this text → on click → open external website → Parent group’s URL

Thanks for all the guidance, I found another way, using the rich text editor allows you to just save the URL as I paste it, it then appears clickable in the RG. Teamwork was great we all shared solutions.
