I am trying to create a link that uses a label instead of the full text of the link. I can create one with a static value ('URLdisp' => '[Doc]' , but I want the value to change depending on the value returned from the table.

I need a link that looks like this [PH2001]

But points to
"http://somewhere.elswhere.com/phtech/index.php/PH_Caller_Codes#PH2001"

Here is what I tried, among many other attempts:

#I really do not understand the syntax intent here. This returns way too long a link.

Code:

$opts['fdd']['caller_code'] = array(
'name'     => 'Caller Code'
, 'select'   => 'T'
, 'maxlen'   => 200
, 'sort'     => true
, 'sql'      => 'CONCAT(\'somwhere.elsewhere.com/phtech/index.php/PH_Caller_Codes#\',caller_code)'
, 'URL'      => 'http://$link'               
, 'URLdisp'  => $link
, 'URLtarget' => '_blank'
);



I could use static link, like 'URLdisp' => '[Doc]', if I could display the name of the "caller_code" next to it, but I also cannot figure out how to display the same column twice, once with its valu and once as a link.

Thanks for any help!!

I did figure out how to include a column value a second time, and use a static link.

PH1001 | [DOC] |

I'd still like to know how to make [PH1001] show as the label rather than [DOC]. Then I would not need a second column for the link

Abandon the built-in URL capability and use only CONCAT to create the desired A HREF tag. Search the forum for CONCAT to locate other examples.
