Will Diaz	Thursday 16 March 2006 2:56:51 pm I have a variable called event_details, which has the following value: Event Name: Such and Such Event Date: March 21st, 2006 Event Website: www.domain.com Currently, the code display the variable with the following line: {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.event_details} Now, what I need to do is to take that URL and turn it into a hyperlink on the fly, like so: <a href="http://www.domain.com">www.domain.com</a> How can this be accomplished?

This is the php code you need to make your text a clickable link: $click_text = preg_replace( "#(^Event.Website:\n)(.)#sm", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">\\2</a>", $your_attribute ); HTH Sascha
