Thanks for the reply, unfortunately the url stays the same, it drops the http:// from the cb web address field even if I add it.
I can see this as I have to display the url at the moment to get the functionality as close as possible, however the image gives a 404 error as it adds the external address to the sites address as previously stated.
Hmm, I have two buttons. 1 is external website that the user puts the url into. The other is auto actioned and prefilled linking to users profile. These show on profile and lists, with no problems.
Just a suggestion to use a custom html field maybe.
CB removes the HTTP/HTTPS for a URL when using a web address field. It does this so you don't end up with mixed content when someone shares an HTTP URL on your HTTPS site. We add it in when the field is displayed. Your issue is you're outputting the raw database stored value and not the formatted value, which is why it's missing HTTP. You can add this manually to your href by adding http:// before the substitution or use the formatted substitution below.
[cb:userfield field="FIELD_NAME" /]

I guessed it would be a simple fix, just didn't think that it would be that easy, went for the addition of the http:// before the substitution, tried the formatted substitution below but that didn't work, must be still doing something wrong there, however will go with the option that works. Thanks
