Question

Show a column in a view with a clickable label for a URL

I have read around on the forum, but have been unable to find a solution that works.

 

I have a custom field: "GE - Frame.io URL" that is attached to a custom form on my projects.

 

In my projects view, I want to display the URL with a label (Go to Frame.io), but whatever I try it is not clickable.

 

Here's my code (that I borrowed from here😞

displayname=link
link.url=customDataLabelsAsString(GE - Frame.io URL)
valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:GE - Frame.io URL}),"","Go To Frame")
valueformat=HTML

 

Any tips?

Hi

 

That code is correct and works in my instance.

 

Is the custom field you have setup a single line or paragraph text field? If you are using a formatted text field to store the URL you will likely find that this wont work.

 

Other things to check are:

  • Is the URL definitley correct
  • Are there any special/hidden characters in the text mode you have copied

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best Regards,

Rich.

    This is an old thread, but I have a question. I'm attempting to do something similar with a calculated field which concatenates a URL. The code above doesn't work for this, but it has worked with a field which is a single line text field. 

     

    Assuming/guessing that calculated fields don't allow for this?

    link.url=customDataLabelsAsString({DE:GE - Frame.io URL})
    valueexpression=IF(ISBLANK({DE:GE - Frame.io URL}),"","Go To Frame")
    valueformat=HTML
    textmode=true

    Give this a try. Hope this helps.

      Still does not work unfortunately.

       

      I get:

       

      As pr. @richard_le_ comments, I double-checked the custom field settings:

       

      All seems okay (also checked the HTML code, there's no <a>). Maybe there's some limitation on my instance?

      Hello bskard,

       

      Did you find any solution for this?

       

      Unfortunately all I have tried does also not work on our instance...

       

      May I ask on which cluster your instance is running? (Setup -> System -> Customer Info)

       

      Thanks in advance.

      Regards
      Lars
