[rt-users] Include another custom field in a custom field link ?

[David]

Hi,

In RT 3.8.2 (We'll be upgrading to 3.8.6 pretty soon), you can
configure a custom field be link to an URL.

For instance, you can put http://domain.com/__CustomField__ and it
will link to http://domain.com/the custom field's value.
Now, what I'm trying to do is that I have two different custom fields
that would build the URL.

So, I would like to include a second custom field in the URL:
http://domain.com/first custom fieldsecond custom field

However, after several trials and errors, I still can't figure out how
I can include another custom field.

Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks,

- David

 Could anyone point me in the right direction ?

1) Don't do that.
2) Use 3 fields. 1  2 store values, 3 is a combination of the two
generated by a scrip,
which has the Link values to set.
3) Create a custom CustomField Type, where you define how it is rendered
4) Use 2 normal fields for the values, and the ShowBasics EndOfList callback
to render the link. (You could even remove SeeCustomField for the parts).
