Hi I did a search and followed the instructions found on this post. http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/90244/

Basically I have a weblog with a custom field called curriculum_vitae. I use the upload manager in the admin console to upload and place a url in the custom field.

On my template I’m using the code found below to display the link.

{if curriculum_vitae != ""}
        <a href="http://{curriculum_vitae}">View Curriculum Vitae</a>
{/if}

The problem is that when I click on the link I get the following link

http://www.mywebsite.com/ee/cra/http://mywebsite.com/ee/uploads/documents/sampledoc.pdf

So basically it looks like the url is getting called twice which throws out a 404 error.

My upload directory is set to http://mywebsite.com/ee/uploads/documents. Also the link in the custom web field after uploading a file looks like this ==> https://ellislab.com/asset/images/ent-partner-work/sampledoc.pdf

Is there a simple solution to this problem? Thanks in advance.

Make sure the formatting of the custom field is set to “None”, and also that you have “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?” set to “No” in CP > Admin > Weblog Administration > Weblog Management > Edit Weblog.

awesome. The setting of the custom field to “none” did the trick.

Thank you!
