Links in select fields

Hello,

I have post a message in the feature request forum but I delete it because maybe there is already a solution to my problem.

I wish to have a select list field (or any other select fields : checkbox, single list multiple...) with a different link for each value.

I have tried this in the field element but it doesn't work as I want :
When I go to the item form, the list displays all values but with html tags (<a href="...">) and it's not beautiful nor handy to choose the value we want, because of these very long html tags.
Anyway, when I submit the item, the value display the link correctly.

Is it possible to remove these html tags and URL in the list of the select field, to only have the values ?

I also tried the Link list field, but it's not exactly what I want because of the html list structure and the multiple checkbox.

Thank for your answer.

In select list field,
Fields elements should be
1::link-1.com">Value 1%% 2::link-2.org">Value 2

Pretext of the value: <a href="
Posttext of the value:

Thank you for your reply.

I have thought about prefix and suffix, it works to not display html tags.
But to have different link for each value, I have to put the url link in the value like this :

1::www.link.com">Value1%%

I wish to only have Value1, no html tags nor url in the select list.

I infer that this feature isn't feasible at the time being.
Is it possible to implement this field parameter (or maybe a new field type explicitly for that) on a next release ?

Thank you for your answer.

I found a solution to my problem, but it's not very handly.

In item.php (of my template) I put this code :

It works, but I have to fix a "value" in array (term + url) for each term in the source code.
It will be more handly if this function exist in the field parameters.

So you propose that the FLEXIcontent "indexable" fields

select, mulitple-select, checkbox, checkboximage, radio, radioimage

to also support linking?

About your solution it is good, except that you need edit the template if you add more values to the field,

also performance impact it is none
unless hundreds of values assigned to each item and you have a category view with hundreds of items per page

Yes, it's exactly that ! It will be very very very nice !

It's my problem at the time being : I have to create a lot of links, and edit the item.php every time, and the source code will become very very long...

If we can add link (and why not item ID too) to each values of "selection type field" (checkbox, select list...) it give me life easier, really, and I think this new feature will be very nice for multiple reasons

Thank in advance.

Hello,
the links must be fixed ones and reusable?
so that item editor will select from these without being allowed to enter links of his/her own?

or can the item editor write the links, in this case maybe it could be comfortable to use the weblink or the extended-weblink field?

Hello,

In my case it's only to put an url on a value field (and possibly to change it when I want).

Example for select list multiple or checkbox (or others) :
1::value1::link1%% 2::value2::link2%% etc.

So only the field manager (administrators and those who is allowed to edit fields) can edit these links in field parameters.

I have a type template which display many field values (by selectionning it with list multiple, checkbox...), and I simply wish that some values could be a link to an item or an external url.

Hello,

I wish to know if this feature is in the TODO list for a next release of Flexicontent.
I still think this feature would be very handy for multiple purposes.
Thank you.
