[SOLVED] CB URL field placeholder was created by AlanJones

Is there some way to add a placeholder text for a URL field?
For example if I wanted a google map url field, but didn't want the long url to display but rather the words "Google Map" with a link.

Thanks!

Yes, if you're using CB 2.x edit your web address field then under Parameters > Display set "Placeholder Value" as needed.

Thanks - It doesn't seem to be working. I'm using J 3.4 and CB 2.0.7

You can see it here: interiorshots.accessipd.com/profile-view/userprofile/Test%20User%2044
I have the title "Google Map" in the placeholder value

Ah, you're wanting to provide hyperlink text. That's not what a Placeholder does or is. The Placeholder adds the edit input placeholder attribute to the input. The hyperlink text can only be supplied by the user directly when you've set the web address field parameter "Web Address Type" to "Hypertext and URL". The alternative is to force a different display for the field, which below usage worked in my tests as long as "Web Address Type" is set to "URL Only".

Parameters > Layout > Profile Value Layout

Code:

[cb:if cb_webaddress=""][value][/cb:if]
[cb:if cb_webaddress!=""]<a href="[cb_webaddress]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Map</a>[/cb:if]

Replace cb_webaddress with the name of your field.

Perfect! Thank you!
I just added http:// ahead of [cb_webaddress... without it the link became an internal link.
Works perfectly.
