Hi,

wafelfrietjes.mascomm.be/verkooppunten-professionnals/item/49-mister-pop

On this page I added a website url in the K2 extra fields. I entered www.misterpop.nl but when I click on it goes to www.wafelfrietjes.be/www.misterpop.nl .
How can I fix this? This doesn't happen when I add http:// in front of the url but I don't want to fix it everytime our customer enters a links without the "http://".

Thanks,

Michiel

Hello,

This is how links work in HTML.
Links without http:// are treated as relative links.

any chance of forcing k2 to generate external links even if we won't add http:// to the extra field link box?

what i'm trying to do here is this... add www.test.com to a link type extra field and show www.test.com linked in frontend, instead of mydomain.com/www.test.com

I tried to mess around with administrator\components\com_k2\models\extrafield.php cause i thought that this file is the one that generates the links, but with no luck

You can use a text extrafield and in your template overrides force a http:// in front of the link if it is not present.
You can use PHP's str_replace() and/or preg_replace functions.
