I’m running 2.2.2

All my fields are being returned on my comment results page except for “url”. It’s as if there is a control panel setting blocking the return of that type of field only. Any suggestions?

I guess this is only the member url. Not their personal website.

Hi, thefifthlion. When you say you’re wanting the url variable to be seen, where are you using it?
http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/comment/entries.html#var_url is the page in the docs for it.

Sue,

Just wanted to say thanks for all your helpful advice since I’ve signed up!

Basically I wanted to attached the members url to their screename so it would link to their site. But the url isn’t being passed via {url} for some reason. Have a look. When I use firebug it shows as an empty href.

thefifthlion,

Do you mind posting the template code where you are wanting to use {url}, that will give us some context and we can help you sort it out.

Thanks!

I’ve logged in as another member to post an entry and entered a url but when I view the comment on the url is not passed. I thought there might be a “external linking” = off in the control panel or channels somewhere? Thanks for your help.

{url_as_author} - give that a try and see if it works.

where should I use this in the? {url_as_author}

I’m getting the following html returned back which obviosly is an error:

pastemployee” class=“bluegreen”>pastemployee
September 02, 2011

below are the locations where I added {url_as_author}
—————————

<label for="url">URL:</label> <input type="text" name="{url_as_author}" value="{url_as_author}" size="50" /><br >

<div><h3><a href="http://{url_as_author}" class="bluegreen">{name}</a></h3>

got {url} to work, sorry for the confusion

Glad you were able to figure out what the problem was. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
