Hello,
I installed CCK on my drupal sites. I would like to have a field include a url link. I added a text field and added a web address into that field. It doesn't work as a link though. I could enable full html but my users might not know how to enter html into a drupal entry form. So, is there another way to do this? I did enable almost all the CCK modules that came with the CCK module download. Are there others, maybe that are packaged separately?
Thanks,
Bruce

You don't need full HTML.
You don't need full HTML. You can use filtered HTML as an input format. web addresses will automatically be turned to links.
To further clarify
When you create the field in CCK, you are given the option to select the default input format. This should be set to "Filtered HTML". It sounds like you left it set to "Plain Text". The "Filtered HTML" input format automatically converts web site addresses into hyperlinks.
Also, if you field is specifically a link, you can use the CCK Link module. This will allow you to do some other need things, like add a title to the link, and display the title instead of the link, in other words, the CCK Link field can output like this:
<a href="http://www.mylink.com" title="My Link">My Link</a>instead ofhttp://www.mylink.comTony
