Reduced hyperlink in metadata

Johnny Labrador

Good afternoon friends.

I would like to request your help. A client requires links to be stored in the metadata, but requests that it be the short link not full.

For example: Full link: community.m-files.com/.../

Reduced link: https://community.m-files.com/

The reduced link should be shown but when clicked it should take us to the page that shows the full one.

Another option is to show the name of the object in the metadata as a hyperlink but when clicked it takes us to the web page of the first link.

I'd appreciate your help.

    So you want the value that's displayed to be different to the link that's followed?

    M-Files doesn't support that natively, unfortunately.

    One option might be to use a link-shortening service like bit.ly; you could have some code that reacts when objects are saved, checks any metadata that are hyperlinks, checks whether they start with "">https://bit.ly" and, if not, use their API to shorten them.
