Clickable VATSIM/IVAO link

[topher2880]

Just touching up my pilots list page and wanted to be able to click on Vatsim (mainly) or ivao ID on pilot profile to bring up their flight histories on relevant stats page.. 

<td>
<div align="center">
<a href="<?php echo url('https://vatstats.net/flights/?pilot='.$pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID');?>">
<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); ?>
</a></td>

 

This is displaying their vatsim ID correctly as a clickable link, however its bringing up "http://www.susiairvirtual.com/index.php/https://vatstats.net/flights/?pilot=1" rather than the vatstats page, and its also using the pilot Id rather than vatsim ID.. 

This is a 2 second job for somone who knows the keywords to use, however im not that guy... can someone please help with which $variable to use for the single line posted above to get it to create the correct link address

 

much appreciated

Hi topher2880,

Try this code, it should work.

<td>
<div align="center">
<a href="https://vatstats.net/flights/?pilot=<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID');?>">
<?php echo PilotData::GetFieldValue($pilot->pilotid, 'VATSIM ID'); ?>
</a></td>

Cheers,

He will also need to make a custom profile field in admin.

Hi mate

the custom profile field is called VATSIM ID, so it came up, if i changed the field, i would need to change this text also. Thanks to both of you for your help.
