Clickable links to external site

billthecat 04 May, 2012
Hi, I want to allow my users to submit click-able links to external sites. I'm using ChronoForm with a text field and URL validation to submit, and then ChronoConnectivity lists the URLs.
At first I only set the List View Fields to 'cf_created' and 'cf_url', which works but doesn't make the URL click-able and ends up running over the page when a URL is too long. So I thought I could use the Custom Listing Settings by putting in the Body section:
<a href="{cf_url}">{cf_created}</a>
This didn't do anything at all, so I tried just putting the plain text "record", with the same results. I then updated the header and footer sections to say "This is the header" and "This is the footer", but neither of them made any difference in the frontend.

Am I missing a setting somewhere?
I'm using Joomla 2.5.4, ChronoForms 4.0 RC3.3, and ChronoConnectivity 4.0 RC2

Hi billthecat ,

Have you turned 'Auto Listing' to No on the FrontEnd List Settings | General tab? If not then the Header and Body settings are ignored.
