How can I create an auto-link with [entry.FIELD_NAME1]+[entry.FIELD_NAME2]

[Rohit_Agarwal]

If I am creating a confiform field definition and selecting the definition type as 'autolink'

Basically I want to create a link with a prefix value and a dynamically added value to a field within the entry.

How do I achieve this concat ability?

do not bother too much with the autolink field definition type. If it is any other field definition type that I can use and present the resultant as a link on the entry. That should be fine.

To understand with an example:

Let us say, an entry in the form is: Facebook username: usernameXYZ

then it should create a link:

www.facebook.com/usernameXYZ

at least create the above link as the field value. If possible have a label for it: Facebook Profile(hyperlink or anchor tag).

Regards,

Rohit

I figured a way to do it. Through the [entry.FIELD_NAME] URL pattern. works like a charm!

No worries on late responses!

Add ConfiForms Field Definition of autolink to you form and configure the pattern parameter the way you want, mixing together static data with references to fields through [entry.field_name] notations to form a valid URL
