Problem:

The user wants to use a URL value contained in an ACF URL field within a Toolset View to create a link with the post title.

Solution:

Create a custom shortcode to retrieve the URL value from the ACF field.
Use the custom shortcode within the Toolset View to generate the link.
Here's an example of a custom shortcode implementation:

add_shortcode('get_url_by_field', 'get_url_by_field_fn');
function get_url_by_field_fn( $atts ) {
    $data = shortcode_atts( array(
        'field' => ''
    ), $atts );

    if(!empty($atts['field']) && $atts['field'] === 'durl') {
        $url = get_field('durl');
        if($url) {
            return esc_url($url); // Always escape and validate URLs
        }
    }
}

Usage within the Toolset View:

<p style="font-weight:bold; font-size: 1.3em; margin-bottom: 0;">
    <a href="[get_url_by_field field='durl']">[wpv-post-title]</a>
</p>

This shortcode retrieves the URL value from the ACF field named 'durl' and generates a link with the post title. Make sure to replace 'durl' with the actual name of your ACF URL field.
