Can anyone tell me where to find a Step by Step tutorial on how to use this module. I have spent over 4 hrs researching for the answerer.

I have a table view with 3 fields name, phone# and web address. I have tried several different combinations.
The closest I gotten is to have the the URL show up as hyper link in the edit screen.
Can anyone tell me the correct combinations of options that would make the table field a hyper link?

I promise when I get this figured out I will document it for everyone.

Regards
Ron
PS I shore I making it harder than it really is

Displaying the link's target in a Views field would be great.

Actually it's quite easy one you learn how!

It in two parts in the cck part make shore that you unclick the tokens check box.
on the views side you need to select the default option.
I am in the process of writing a detailed step by slept guide.

But that doesn't work, or at least I can't get it to. For example, check out http://honeypot.net/bookmarks/17 . Now, view the RSS feed for that page. Each link is to a node on my site, not to the site I'm trying to link. Tokens are unchecked. I've configured the view with default options.

Is there something else I can try?

I not understanding exactly what you trying to do? I cant find a RSS feed?
Give me a step by step explanation of what you are trying to do.

Export the view code so i can see exactly what your are trying to to.

My exported view is attached.

1) Say that I create a Bookmark node with title "Slashdot.org" and url http://slashdot.org/. That node's URL on my site is http://honeypot.net/slashdot-0.

2) If I display the Bookmarks view in my browser at http://honeypot.net/bookmarks, I get a nice grid layout of my links. This works almost exactly as I'd like. If I click the "Slashdot.org" link, it opens a new window to http://slashdot.org/. I like this very much.

3) If I display the RSS view in my browser at http://honeypot.net/bookmarks/%2A/feed, the problem appears. "Slashdot.org" is displayed as a link to the Bookmark node on my site (at http://honeypot.net/slashdot-0) and not to the remote site (at http://slashdot.org/).

This is a problem because that feed is almost unusable with something like Firefox's "Live Bookmarks" folders. Instead of a folder of links to my favorite sites, I end up with a folder of links to my own site. Although I can visit that Bookmark node and click the link to the site I really wanted to go to, this is awkward and requires twice two separate page loads and an extra manual action each time I want to go to a bookmarked page. This is the problem I'm trying to address.

This sums up the problem that I have, too.

CCK in Drupal 5 doesn't have the ability to modify RSS feeds. The best way to accomplish this in Drupal 5 is to use Contemplate module to change the output of the RSS feeds so that they display the link URL. Then make an RSS feed of the node teasers so that the contemplate template will be used.

In D6, this is much easier since CCK now lets you choose the output of each field for RSS feeds also.

Makes sense. Thanks for passing that on!

There was also a bug concerning links in Views. See this issue: http://drupal.org/node/213548

Since this support request is finished, I'm closing out.
