Martin Ulrich	Friday 10 November 2006 3:11:00 pm Are you really sure? Did you check if all datatyps fields of your class the checkbox "required" is unchecked? URL datatype has only one single field "location", (3.8.6) mmh sepp _______________________ http://artenic.de ARTENIC - Publishing mit allen Mitteln!

This issue is that I do not want the 'Text' (description) field to be required, and it seems these requirements are inseparable. > URL datatype has only one single field "location", (3.8.6) It has two fields, URL and Text: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_8/reference/datatypes/url Matthew http://carroll.org.uk
Martin Ulrich	Saturday 11 November 2006 4:14:28 am sorry ! I m not so professional :) But I think is not a description, it is the Linktext <a http ..>Linktext</a> If the problem is on backendsite perhaps is possible to modify \standard\templates\content\datatype\edit\ezurl.tpl ? input a standardvalue there and set to "hidden" but I want give another wrong hint. gr.

Marco Zinn	Saturday 11 November 2006 6:03:27 am I experienced this, too, after upgrading a site to 3.8.3. Earlier (3.4), the URL datatype did not require a Text for the hyperlink. The output template created a nice Link using the URL as text, if none was entered. I fear, that this input validation is done somewhere in the PHP code of the ezurl datatype, so one would have to hack this code to allow empty "hyperlink texts" again :( I suggest to file a bug report, as this at least is breaking backwards compatibilty and is annoying in most cases, too.
