webapps. How can I create a link to a page instead of showing the details-view

[MB Arts]

I want my client to define what page a webapp shall point to in list-view, instead of showing the  details view, but I cant figure out how.  I have tried this, but it seams that tags don't work inside links:

<a href="{tag_my_custom_link}">{tag_name}</a>

.. does any one know how to do this?

just put a _nolink on your tag_name.. so it would be

<a href="{tag_my_custom_link}">{tag_name_nolink}</a>

I have tried that, but the problem is that when i use <a href="{tag_my_custom_link}">  the browser will just link to "http://{tag_my_custom_link}"   -  It does not replace the {} text with the custom link that i want it to do...  😕

Use string as field type for your custom link. I think you're using the "link" field type

The problem is the format of your tag.  If your field name in the web app is "My Custom Link" then your tag is {tag_My Custom Link} (note the spaces).

Cedric is right though, make sure the field is a textfield and not a hyperlink field in your web app.  If you use BC's new "Develop" tab up top you can navigate to your web app detail layout in /Layouts/Web Apps/<yourwebapp> and find "list.html".  Then, you can use the toolbox on the right (click the data tab) to insert tags without having to guess.  You can choose your custom field and insert the tag.

Hi Guys. Thanks for your help.

I have found out that, thanks to you, that I used the 'hyperlink' text version. I thought that I used the string version, because I did change it to string. It looks like that you can't change a hyperlink field to string once it is saved. I have now created a new field with text string and deleted the old one.

It works!!!      .. thank you guys
