In table views there is currently no way to have a column that shows the full url as a link. The attached patch adds such a formatter.

Not sure why this issue wasn't ever closed, link module has supported "Plain, as text URL" since 2.0.

  1. If you look at the patch, the author's intention is to have a linked URL, which is not yet an option (see image)
  2. The output is not truly plain, in any case. New issue opened: http://drupal.org/node/233304

After upgrading to version 5.x-2.1 I found that this feature is still not available. Since I really need it I had to add my changes to the latest version. A new patch is attached.

Not sure why my comment and updated patch isn't shown. Trying again:

Ah, maybe a more appropriate label for the formatter would be "URL, as link" then? "Plain" indicates plain text, with no HTML.

Absolutely, much better!

+1 for replacing check_plain() in "plain" with

l(check_plain($item['url']), check_url($item['url']));

I doubt that the current plain formatter is of any use for anyone. If someone needs such an useless formatter, then it can be implemented in a custom module.

@sun:
l() already passes the $text to check_plain(). Thus, your code should be similar to

l($item['url'], check_url($item['url']));

Updated patch attached.

Breaking the current plain formatter is not a good option. I'm the one getting support requests ;)

The current plain formatter is quite helpful in many situations where you're parsing data and just want URLs, no wrapping tags.

I renamed to "URL, as link" and ported a version for use in 6 as well. It'll be included in 2.2.
