Iâve added this field now, take a look and close if youâre happy.
Canât see it @Ben? I am on my mobile at the moment. Where would we see it, under the amend profile presumably?
I found the cause, it wasnât âeditable after sign-upâ. Iâve changed that now, the field is called âPortfolioâ. Work now?
I can see it now yes, thanks⌠minor thing, but the example text appears on the memberâs profile tooâŚ

Its also not a clickable link⌠not on mobile at least�
Any control over position? After the www would be good.
Sorry about the delay to answer,
Thank you for adding it teacher!!
Hey, it seems that it`s still not clickable, do you think that you can make it a link?
Thanks guys, firstly full disclosure I may have deleted all current entries by toggling to a checkbox field 
There is no option on the userâs custom fields for a clickable link, although I think this is a good idea. @discourse can you take this as a suggestion?

No worries on my part as I had only tested it with a Google link, I dont expect it was widely used yet anyway.

@ben, if Discourse are unable to, maybe @sampattuzzi can with a little javascript and cssâŚ

We would like to be able to add a text field which appears on a users profile, but rather than being only text, we would like it to be a hyperlink to the text they enter, e.g a URL 
Or more succinctly⌠a URL field type for User Fields
Canât you simply use a regular text field and prompt the user to add a URL,
e.g. âyour website:â
Yes, but when it is displayed on the profile the text isnt clickable, so it doesnât work.
It would be nice to have the same behaviour as the www profile field.
I agree, I think we need a âclickable linkâ field type here.

I posted on Discourse regarding this and was given what looks to be a really useful link with instructions on how to do this with a plugin and some cssâŚ

I think the above, with a little work, would allow us to enable icons for various social media also, so we could have a Twitter icon, a Facebook icon, all wired up with the relevant URL provided by the member when registering/updating their profile. Additionally, we could have a little game controller icon or something which could be wired to a single portfolio URL. Potentially this might need a bit of expanding as you may want to be able to link to more than one portfolio (games / 3D work etc)⌠just thoughtsâŚ
@Ben / @sampattuzzi - how can we go about testing / implementing this, appreciating you are busy with course creation, but at the same time you are the only ones who can, obviously, update the custom content (stylesheets / plugins). Would be happy to try to put something together and paste it up for you to then pop in (as with the Updated Timestamp) but thatâs a bit clunky when it comes to trying / testing as it relies heavily on your availability. Any thoughts?

No worries.
I canât see that we have enough control to do this unless we self-host, which weâre trying to avoid. @sampattuzzi can you see a way?
Check out my profile to see how a linked version can look. We can change this pretty much any way we like but for now I would say it seems okay. You should get the same on your own profiles too.
