Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am working on a directory site that will allow users to post a link directly to their website. My plan is to allow them to create a post but only grab details from two fields. Title of the post would be the text in the link, and URL in a custom URL field would be the link link location. By doing this I am allowing user submitted posts to be displayed as standard text links. Is this possible to do? When I create a view and display the post title, I see the option for a dynamic link but my custom URL field is not an option. Thanks

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

What is the link to your site?
Currently in development

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

To create a dynamic link like this, you can use the Toolset's 'Button' block in the view's loop.

It will allow you to select the post's title for the 'Dynamic Button Text' and the URL type custom field value for the 'Dynamic Button URL'.

Using the block's style settings, you can make it appear like a regular link rather than a button.

regards,
Waqar
