View source for Changing output format of Website url field

If you want to change the output format, click on <span style="color: red">[Click here for  Advanced Options]</span> and advanced field options will slide down.


This is the default output format of the Website url field:
<pre><a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">{FIELDTEXT}</a></pre>


If you want a custom anchor text, replace the second {FIELDTEXT} with your text:
<pre><a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">Visit Website</a></pre>

That is useful if the url's will be very long, so a custom anchor text will prevent the url from breaking the layout.


You can also use the value of some other custom field as the anchor text, replace the second {FIELDTEXT} with the name of that other custom field, like this:
<pre><a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">{JR_SOMEFIELD}</a></pre>


Or you can use an image as link anchor:
<pre><a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank"><img src="images/mylink.gif"></a></pre>

The image should go into the Joomla's "images" folder in the root.
