URL Types

  • Relative URLS must match the format of a URL path, relative to the document root, for example /about or /categories/new#first.
  • Absolute URLS must match a full absolute url, prefixed with protocol and containing a domain name, for example https://www.example.com/ or https://example.com/about.
  • Mailto Protocol must be an email address prefixed by mailto:.
  • Tel Protocol must be a phone number prefixed by tel:.

Templating with an Advanced URL Field

In a Twig template, the field is rendered directly, without any other additional inner properties. See the following example, where myURL is an Advanced URL field on the entry:

<a href="{{ entry.myURL }}">My Link</a>
