How can I do the following:

A user has a Url address from a website for instance facebook.com/username

I would like to create a field where the user only input their 'username' or members id and it automatically added the facebook.com (for this instance)

in other words:

user enter: 1830

URL address: websiteaddress.com/1830

note: this web address is totally different from our website. Is just a field that will be populated by user and be display just the same way that name, lat name, etc. is display. I just need to add automatically the web address before what the input on the filed.


Thank you,

Jesus

Create a normal text field, integer field, or whatever type of field you need for them to supply a value. Then use a delimiter field with substitutions to construct the actual output. Example delimiter fields as follows.
Code:
<a href="http://www.website.com/[cb_myfield]">http://www.website.com/[cb_myfield]</a>

And to open in a new window
<a href=" www.facebook.com/ [cb_fbid]" target="_blank"> www.facebook.com/ [cb_fbid]</a>

With cb_fbid being the name of the cb field you created to supply a value
