Hi, James

yes, you can do it now.
Just create any text field and click on Validation link.
You will see ‘URL’ option. Check it and MTH will assume that all data in this column are URL’s and will link it.

I am not understanding your suggestion. I have a database of names and data. I want certain names to be a link to an outside page. In this case, click on a certain name, and be taken to a page with that person’s wartime diary.

I went back to Form Builder and clicked on Validate and URL and submitted. I don’t see any change, except if I click on that name I get a “can’t find”. I would expect to see a box in which I can type the path of the link and then attach that path to a name. Each name would have a different path, but not all names would have links.

Oh, I see now, James.

My suggestion was to use URL validation, it just checks if you enter valid URL in text field.

What you need is to make links from text in data cells.
I’m not sure how it should looks like for you.
For example, we may want to create new Field Type called URL.
And on the form it will be looks like ‘Enter name of the link’ and ‘Enter URL’ and in database it will be looks like proper link, where name linked to entered URL.

We will think about it little bit and implement it for you.
Thanks!

I would like for the name that has a link, to be underlined, and perhaps a different color (but that’s not necessary). No other column as it is already getting very wide and requires a lot of scrolling.

When a viewer sees a name that is underlined, he would know that he could click on that name and be taken to a different page outside on a different website.

Seems if I checked Validate and URL, it would open up a new box in which I would enter the URL. Close the box and it becomes an attached hidden link for that particular name.

I don’t expect you to redo your software just for me. I appreciate the consideration, and can live without this feature.

Hi, James

Yes, it will be underlined for sure.
I’ve understand you and we will do it.
I can’t give you estimate, because we really have a long list of features to implement very soon.
Users from DabbleDB requires some importent things to do.
But I can promisse you that we will not forget about this feature and will implement once will get any chance.
Thanks!
