How to create a PXDBWeblink field?

I have reviewed the article (https://community.acumatica.com/topic/show?tid=7266&fid=288) that identifies PXDBWeblink as the way to create a custom field with an URL link to click.  I have also reviewed the website field on the customer contact page and the tracking URL field on the packages tab of a shipment.  But, I can’t seem to get it to work.

First, I created a custom field and publish the customization.

Then, I add the field to the screen.

Then in the data class, I changed the PXDBString(256) to PXDBWeblink.

When I publish the customization, the Stock Item screen looks like this.

It doesn’t have the icon to open the URL like the contact website nor is it a hyperlink like the tracking URL of the shipment.

I’m working in a local 2023 R1 instance and will attach the customization package.

You need to change PXTextEdit to PXLinkEdit in the aspx file.

<px:PXLinkEdit ID="edDefContactWebSite" runat="server" DataField="WebSite" CommitChanges="True" ></px:PXLinkEdit>

    @johnw51  Here is the example for your reference. Please find the DAC and .aspx example below.

     

    DAC Field:

    #region WebSite			

			[PXDBWeblink]
			[PXUIField(DisplayName = "Web")]
			public virtual String WebSite { get; set; }
public abstract class webSite : PX.Data.BQL.BqlString.Field<webSite> { }
			#endregion

    .aspx page:

    <px:PXLinkEdit ID="WebSite" runat="server" DataField="WebSite" CommitChanges="True"/>

    Editing the aspx page was the step I was missing.  Thank you.

    Has anyone been able to create a custom field that would bring a user to a file on a locally hosted server?  Basically, I need file explorer to open when clicking the link. Something that looks like this:

     

    \\10.10.4.511\Folder\2_Folder\2024 Folder\File_Name 

     

    I tried the [PXDBWeblink] type and it just tries to open the file path in the default web browser.
