Clickable link / URL user field type

Contribute Feature

AI-generated summary

Clickable link / URL user field type is a desired feature for user profiles. Currently, URLs in custom user fields are not clickable, as shown in an example by Vaping_Community. JammyDodger mentioned a theme component that achieves this, but a native ‘link’ field type in custom user fields is preferred. Julian R also suggested this idea in another topic. Vaping_Community expressed interest in a dedicated user field type, having previously used custom theme code that was broken by an Ember update.

A user field type of link / URL that shows as a clickable link on user card, profile etc

As you can see, the URL’s are not clickable

We do have the Custom Profile Link theme component, though the idea of adding a ‘link’ field type to the custom user fields themselves was also raised in that topic the other day too:

Thanks for your quick reply!

Ha! That’s interesting as I viewed that thread but only scrolled back up a little way, in fact I stopped just before those 2 posts :joy:

I used to use custom theme code to make the links clickable but then Ember updated and I had to scrap all the code

A dedicated user field type would be awesome for this if it’s at all possible
