I have a custom field in a weblog publish screen where the user can enter in a link to a website.

If the user enters the “www.” as part of the data then EE automatically builds a link on the front end output.

Example:
User enters: facebook.com then the output is: facebook.com
User enters: http://www.facebook.com then the output is: www.facebook.com

Is this just a setting somewhere in EE that I am missing?
If not, how do I override this?

thanks

Yes, it’s a setting: Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?
