i am using a hack for myspace link in postbit to link to their page. how it works is you make a extra profile field and the user puts in there myspace id and in there postbit it will show. most of the url is already there and they are just tacking on the end to complete it. it displays like ......

"myspace id - my user id that i entered"

the problem im having is no matter how i explain it most users put the whole url.

what i would like to do is put in a code that user puts in there whole url and in the custom profile field and it shows a link that shows just

"myspace"

here is what i am using now.

<if condition="$post['field67']"><div>MySpace ID: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/$post[field67]" target="_blank">$post[field67]</a></div></if>

thanks in advance

You do not want users putting in a url. You will lose control that way and open it up for them to put in any url. Is the myspace id their username or is it a number?

You can also limit the characters allowed in the field so they will not be able to enter the whole url. Perhaps that will be enough of a hint to them.
