This is the default output format of the Website url field:

<a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">{FIELDTEXT}</a>


If you want a custom anchor text, replace the second {FIELDTEXT} with your text:

<a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">Visit Website</a>

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:

<a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank">{JR_SOMEFIELD}</a>


Or you can use an image as link anchor:

<a href="{FIELDTEXT}" target="_blank"><img src="images/mylink.gif"></a>

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