That works!
The showprofile.tpl code now reads:
{if $useredit}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_1}
{/if}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_2}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_3}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_4}
{$CUSTOM_FIELD_5}Now where can I change the definition of $CUSTOM_FIELD_1 so it displays as a link instead of text when the profile is viewed? I want to leave it as text in the profile edit screen. This is just like the Homepage field attributes.
I tried
Your DB Link but the {$CUSTOM_FIELD_1} has both label & the URL info and does not provide the correct link.
