Hi,
i imported a huge list of companies for internal evaluation in a node type, and created a table view. Everything works fine, besides the formatting of the web-url field of those companies.

I tried everything offered within the views configuration of the field, but the exteranl links always get rendered as internal links:
For example, I checked "Output this as a link" and entered in "Link Path" the offered token [field_homepage_value]

The result is
http://www.mywebsite/www.company_A

instead of
http://www.company_A

I have no clue how i can get rid of my own domain path in the link.
Any suggestions ?

Cheers
Bernd

Are they really cck link fields?

Anyway, if you input http://www.foo.com it will link as external site. Thats how the l/url function of drupal works.

nope, its a text field. Didn't think about this when importing the cs. 700 nodes and i am happy to have managed that at all.

Just found out that when adding http:// to the field content (which is, stupid people, only www.abc.de ... in most cases), the links then work as expected.

Now i will have to figure out some sql-magic to add the http:// to all the url fields through phpmyadmin.

But thanx for taking care!
