Can I change the way a url is evaluated?

All Topics → → Can I change the way a url is evaluated?

Hi there, first of all I must say I’m extremely impressed with how flexible and powerful FP is!

I noticed that the ‘website’ field checks whether the user entered http:// in front of the url and returns if they didn’t. Modern browsers hide http:// from the address bar, so this is very user unfriendly if you ask them to copy the url from their browser.

Is there a way I can change this behavior and would you consider changing this in an update for everyone?

We've actually already made this change for the next release. Here's the change we made in formidable/pro/classes/models/FrmProEntryMeta.php. Go down to line 175 and add the text in red.

        if($field->type == 'website' or $field->type == 'url' or $field->type == 'image'){
            if(trim($value) == 'http://'){
                $_POST['item_meta'][$field->id] = $value = '';
            }else{    
                $value = esc_url_raw( $value );
		        $_POST['item_meta'][$field->id] = $value = preg_match('/^(https?|ftps?|mailto|news|irc|gopher|nntp|feed|telnet):/is', $value) ? $value : 'http://'. $value;
	        }
		}

        //Don't validate the format if field is blank
        if ($value == '' or is_array($value)) return $errors;

Thanks, it works now. Beautiful!
