    In article I have a field "lapozhato" (single line text) where is the URL link like "www.../index.htm".

    I am using the following code:
    href="{{$gimme->article->lapozhato}}"

    but the result isn't what I need. I know that $gimme command returns the full current site path.

    Thank you!

    Dear Newscoop Support!

    Did I forget something? Or my problem is not clear enough? Or there is no solution? Or you don't know the answer?

    I will try to explain it again.

    I have 1 publication with weekly issues. In every issue there is one artice where is the date, the number, picture of cover AND a link to flip-page version of that issue.

    What command to use in template to get the link on html page?


    Thank you!

    Dear Newscoop user,

    The solution you chose for displaying a link is very good. Create a new text
    field in the article type, e.g. "my_link". In the template engine you would
    write:
    <a href="{{ $gimme->article->my_link }}">

    This may cause a problem though when the field was empty. To make sure you
    display the link only when there's text in there use the following code:
    {{ if $campsite->article->my_link != "" }}
    <a href="{{ $gimme->article->my_link }}">
    {{ /if }}

    Hi:

    Actually the code should be:

    <p>{{ if $gimme->article->custom_field != "" }}
<a href="{{ $gimme->article->custom_field }}">{{ $gimme->article->custom_field }}</a>
{{ /if }}</p>



    right?

    Here I am again. The solution you gave to me is ok, but that is not what I need. I reread my first post and it is not decribing my problem clear. So I try it again.

    My web site is news.csaladikor.rs. In article there is single line text named "custom_field" with following contents: www.optimusns.com
    If I use <a href="{{ $gimme->article->custom_field }}">link</a> my generated link will be news.csaladikor.rs/www.optimusns.com. But I want the link to be www.optimusns.com. And it must be "dinamic", because I have an article with advert picture with link to that site.

    I hope that my problem is more understandable now. :) Thank you!

    I find the solution!

    You just need to add http:// in front of {{ $gimme->article->custom_field }}

    <a href="http://{{ $gimme->article->custom_field }}">

    Thx
