Hi,

I have a field (simple dropdown), with the url's of suppliers. But I would like to have them shown "clickable"on the frontend. I tried to store them in the options field as HTML, but that didn't work.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Regards,

Eric

Hi Eric,

You can just add some jQuery to your website's template to do this. There is an example at this link here:

This isn't achievable directly with just using SEBLOD. You'll need to add that code to your template.

Hi Jrmo,

Thanks for your reply. It made me clear that I did not put the problem in the right words.I have on the backend this field, a simple dropdown, where the options are in plain text the urls of suppliers. 

Now I would like to show the chosen option as a clickable url on the frontend, not as plain text.

My wish is not to have to write the complete url in each article, therefor I chose this field.
Imho the script in the template is not the right solution for it wil generate a dropdownlist on the frontend.

Regards,

Eric

Hi,

if you would like to have this clickable url in the content view you can use Html typography and put something like this into it

<a href="/*value*">*value*</a>
