not sexy, but a url field would be a useful field type. One that comes with built in validation etc.

Something you could smash out before breakfast 🙂

just a thought.

Hello Elliot,

I’m after a URL field too. Is it possible to add validation to text field at the moment – to make sure URL syntax is correct?

Thanks,
Dasha

This exists already…

https://github.com/Jeradin/acf-website-field

It could use a bit of tweaking… like better standardized output and the ability to add a class and maybe caption to the link but, using the “output as array” option can solve your problem in the short term…

In fact I just might just fork this and make a URL field.
