HTML column type in custom meta-data.

mukoan · 07-13-2010, 07:35 AM

This is a re-post as the original kinda got lost in an un-related thread:

When creating custom columns in the meta-data, is it possible to have a "html" column type? Specifically I'd like to have a column which is an html link to info about a series for example, (but it could be anything... say author info, wiki link etc). And when I click on that link, it automatically loads it up in my default web browser.

I can create a text based column easy enough with the above info... but I'd like to be able to click on a url and it opens in a browser. Perhaps there is a form of syntax I could use in text based column types, (although I tried standard html, i.e. <a href="bla">link</a> ... but that didn't work)?

Just wondering,
mk.

No, none of the custom column types will allow for clickable links.
