I am creating a channel that requires the user to enter a complete URL. However, when this field is outputted in the template, it is automatically turned into an HTML link if the field begins with http://.
This is a problem as now I will have to instruct the users to avoid entering the http://, and it would prevent them from easily specifying between http and https, or even other protocols.
Is this a bug or intended, and if intended, how do I disable it?
Thank you!
Eric

Hi Eric,
Mostly likely you need to disable the Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links option. If that doesn’t work, let me know what version and build of EE you’re using.
