Description
Link works great to create a link in a directory I am publishing.
A link stored as 'www.domain.org.uk' appears as:
<a href="http://www.domain.org.uk">http://www.domain.org.uk</a>
What is the best way to remove the 'http://' in the link text? - ie:
<a href="http://www.domain.org.uk">www.domain.org.uk</a>
Thanks

You can override the link theme. This is the original theme function for the basic "url" link:
/*** Theme function for 'url' text field formatter.
*/
function theme_link_formatter_url($element) {
return $element['#item']['url'] ? l($element['#item']['display_url'], $element['#item']['url'], $element['#item']) : '';
}
I put this function within my theme's template.php file:
function THEMENAME_link_formatter_url($element) {$trimmed_url = substr($element['#item']['display_url'], 7);
return $element['#item']['url'] ? l($trimmed_url, $element['#item']['url'], $element['#item']) : '';
}
replacing THEMENAME with your theme's name.
Good luck,
Jason

Thanks very much for this - it set me on the right path. In the end I used the following because of the way I have my title and url (static title set to [field_website-url]) set up and to allow for https urls:
/* Overriding Link module to remove 'http://' in link */
/**
* <a href="http://www.domain.org.uk">www.domain.org.uk</a>
* instead of:
* <a href="http://www.domain.org.uk">http://www.domain.org.uk</a>
*/
function THEMENAME_link_formatter_default($element) {
// check if title has http or https in it
$cleaned_title = preg_replace('/^http(s)?:\/\//i', '', $element['#item']['display_title']);
// Display a normal link if both title and URL are available.
if (!empty($element['#item']['display_title']) && !empty($element['#item']['url'])) {
return l($cleaned_title, $element['#item']['url'], $element['#item']);
}
// If only a title, display the title.
elseif (!empty($element['#item']['display_title'])) {
return check_plain($cleaned_title);
}
}
