I’m trying to allow my client to enter up to 5 links so I have the following code:

<ul id="links">
 <li>{link_1}</li>
 <li>{link_2}</li>
 <li>{link_3}</li>
 <li>{link_4}</li>
 <li>{link_5}</li>
</ul>

Questions

1. Whats the simplest way to set this up for my client so all they have to do is type the word in the field like “google” , highlight the words and add a link so it will link to “http://google.com”?  Is there a field type specifically for links so nothing will be added but the anchor?

2. The code above works for displaying the links, but not all of the links will be added all the time but I’ll still be left with blank list items. If there is no link in #4 or #5, how do I stop it from displaying the <li> </li> for both of those fields?

1. I don’t think there is something like an autocompleting URL field available, but you can use something like JCO URL to make sure they add a valid URL.

2. It’s pretty easy actually:

{if link_4}<li>{link_4}</li>{/if}
