[#5604] Web Address Validation

[#5604] Web Address Validation was created by cbnewbie01
Dear support team,

I'd like to require user input to conform to [xx].linkedin.com/in/[anyvalue]. The default parameters don't seem to support that and I cannot find any guidance on this forum either.

Your guidance on how I could accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

Best!

P.S. I also understand from another post about 5 months ago that all urls are defaulted to http but an option between http and https may be provided in future releases. Would you have an update for this? Thanks again!

Currently the web address field only supports HTTP. You can not toggle back and forth and it'll strip out whatever scheme the URL is currently providing. For what you're wanting you may want to use a text field with a layout that'll turn it into a link. Example Profile Value Layout as follows.

[cb:if FIELD_NAME!=""]<a href="[FIELD_NAME]">[FIELD_NAME]</a>[/cb:if]

If you still want to use the web address field, but only validate that URL you can use the below validation on your field.

Authorized input: Custom PERL regular expression
Perl Regular Expression: ^(http|https)://(www\.|)linkedin\.com/in/.+$

Hi, Kyle,

Thank you for the response!

I tried the validation (^(http|https)://(www\.|)linkedin\.com/in/.+$) you suggested but CB still allows any url to be entered. What do you think might be the issue?

Best regards.

Are you trying it on a Text field or a Web Address field? If Web Address field try a text field. Please ensure you've also updated to latest CB 2.0.12 release.
