Hi, I just wondered if anyone else had either done this, or may know how it could be achieved? We would like to be able to add a clickable field to the user profile but at present the only options are really for text, and even if a URL is entered it isn’t rendered as a hyperlink, thus, you can’t click it. I’m not sure if the profile functionality can be enhanced through the use of a plugin or whether this is something that could perhaps be added to the main code base? A topic is running on what we are hoping to achieve here. In an ideal scenario I suppose there would be a URL Field field type available in the drop down menu, which, at the very least would just turn the provided text into a hyperlink. The icing covered, cherry on the top, version of this sticky bun feature would be to perhaps allow both text and a url to be entered so that it could be more readable on the profile page, thus; My Readable Link instead of Our games added to our profile - #15 by ben - Ask - GameDev.tv for example.. Any thoughts?
