I have a variable called event_details, which has the following value:

Event Name:
Such and Such

Event Date:
March 21st, 2006

Event Website:
www.domain.com

Currently, the code display the variable with the following line:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.event_details}

Now, what I need to do is to take that URL and turn it into a hyperlink on the fly, like so:

<a href="http://www.domain.com">www.domain.com</a>

How can this be accomplished?

Hi will,

What kind of datatype is your 'event_details' attribute ?

Text block ?

Check to make sure that the website field is a URL - then it should be displayed as a link by default.

The URL attribute allows you to enter text and the URL, then delivers the content as a standard link.

I guess your attribute is a textfield...

I would write a template operator that parses the text.
This is the php code you need to make your text a clickable link:

$click_text = preg_replace( "#(^Event.*Website:\n)(.*)#sm", "\\1<a href=\"http://\\2\">\\2</a>", $your_attribute );
