CommunityZero® Help
This field is designed to store a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). When configuring hyperlink fields, it is important to consider both the common and field specific properties that are available for use. The field specific properties are defined below.
Note: All
field types have
common field properties which are
described separately.
This set of properties is used specifically for configuring hyperlink fields.
Language
The language drop-down menu only appears if multilingual support has been enabled for the site. It is used in conjunction with the default value. Select a language from the drop-down menu and complete the field (note that this field is not required). The text entered for the field will appear in the database tool when the respective community display language has been selected. Select another language and complete the field if multilingual support is desired.
Note: If
the default value is completed in only one language, the text entered
will be displayed for each language the community supports.
Default Value
Specify a default value if the new record form should begin with a suggested value in this field. Ensure the default value matches the field type and content validation settings.
Input Width
Enter a number that represents the desired width or space provided to enter content for this field on the form (i.e. enter 50 for 50 pixels).
Destination
Select the desired behaviour for users clicking on a hyperlink in this field:
Same window in current frame will leave the bottom gray bar in view.
Same window no frames uses the full current window.
New browser window opens a new browser window leaving the current page in the background.
Custom pop-up window allows maximum flexibility of the new window option by specifying window properties in the field below.
Custom Pop-up Properties
If "custom pop-up window" was selected, specify the desired custom window properties. Each variable is followed by an equal sign and options are delimited by a comma. Window height and width are pixel values (do not specify units). Other options are given a 1 or 0 to indicate if the property is enabled. Options include: toolbar, location (address bar), directories (secondary toolbars), status (bottom status bar), menuBar (text-based menu), scrollBars and resizable. Copy and paste the examples below to ensure the syntax is correct.
Example: 400 * 600 pop-up window with scroll bars
height=400, width=600, scrollBars=1
Example: 300 * 400 resizable pop-up window with a menu bar
height=300, width=400, resizable=1, menuBar=1
Example: 400 * 600 pop-up window with toolbar and address bar
height=400, width=600, toolbar=1, location=1
