Store a Textile URL in a custom field

amordecosmos · 2006-12-09 23:24:59

I want to have a “related link” in my sidebar and store the URL in Textile form in a custom field.

If I put the following in my form:

<h3>Related Link</h3>
<a href="<txp:custom_field name="RelatedLink" />">Site</a>

it works correctly. But the label is a generic Link

I would rather have put

"The Philadelphia Story":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/ in my custom field and

<h3>Related Link</h3>
<txp:custom_field name="RelatedLink" />

in my form but this will show up on the page as: "The Philadelphia Story":http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032904/

Any love? (rei_custom_field doesn’t work either, btw)

Use two custom fields?

<a href="<txp:custom_field name="RelatedLink" />"><txp:custom_field name="RelatedLinkText" /></a>

Well, wow.

Thank you, Wet, for showing that plug-in, it worked great. (And, implicitly, thank you Mary for the plug-in.)

Els, there is a large dent in my forehead where I slapped it in a “D’oh”-like fashion. Thanks for that solution, too.
