Hello,

I have 2 questions:

1. My apologies if I have choosen wrong forum for my post. I think it is problem of URL fields where drupal uses URL.

How can I add "http://" automatically to the URL field at the begining of Web Link submitting form (and other drupal modules use URL field)? How can I output an error in submitting weblink form if user removes "http://" at URL field?

Drupal Web Links module doesn't open sites if user forgot to input "http://" at the begining at URL field of web-link submission form. Before I had the same problem to customise users profile with home page (URL field) field.

2. How can I limit a number of web-links categories (for example up to 3) that user has selected in web-link submit form?

Thanks,
Roman

Hey Roman, it looks like a few people would like me to address that http:// issue, so I'll try to get that updated sometime in the near future.

As far as permissions goes, there are a number of modules that can regulate user permissions by category--I've used taxonomy_access.module for this in a 4.7 environment and it worked great--and that was on a pretty big site with lots of different moderators/perms.

Unless you mean the max number of categories a person can put a weblink in--that I'm not sure about. But in general, Web Links uses standard taxonomy functions--so you'd want to find a module that works with taxonomy--rather than trying to change those settings for Web Links.

Cheers!

Ok. Need to look at defaulting to http:// in the form. Not that hard just need to create the patch.

Thanks

Actually, Robert, the way I read the OP is that hook_validate needs to use valid_url($url, true).

@Roman: on question 2 above, that would be outside the scope of WL. There may be some other module that could do that.

NancyDru,

I was going to add http:// by default in new entry and add valid_url to the validation form if it wasn't already there. If you want todo be my guest I will get to it at some point.

Thanks
Robert.

6.x head now includes the http:// on the all new links. Working on getting that pushed into 5.x-1.20 on the 5 version.

Thanks
Robert
