Echoing collection fields within HTML

Helpdesk Website Builder

Is there a way to echo the custom collection fields within HTML?

For example, if I have a field containing a URL, I would ideally like to be able to echo that in some form such as:

<a href="{*Field Name*}">Click here</a>

I would be using this in the Collection Item template so when you view the record I can be returning specific fields in the HTML where needed.

Any thoughts/advice is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Hi! This is not yet possible. There is a feature request for this: Extend the functionality of the dynamic data (collections)

P.S. I’ve seen that you have added your input to the feature request

I’ve gotten round it at the moment by using JS.

  1. I echo the field as a text item.
  2. Add a class to the element
  3. Set visibility to hidden
  4. Create an element I want to affect with the data
  5. Add a class
  6. Add relevant JS to make the magic happen

This solves the issue for me temporarily but that’s a whole load of pain vs maybe a nice “WordPress style” shortcode option for the future.
