CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have a client running CiviCRM 2.0 and Drupal 5. They want the URL (Home URL) field available on the user registration form through a CiviCRM profile. However, they don't like the little bit of javascript that autofills "http://" when the user clicks on the element or tabs through it (onfocus). They have experienced some users complaining about getting the "enter a valid URL" error just because they accidentally clicked or tabbed on the field - even though the user did not intend to enter a URL at all.

Dunno if the behavior is the same in 2.1 or not, but here's a bit of Drupal module code with jquery script that will "fix" the accidental onfocus behavior:

function yourmodulename_form_alter($form_id, &$form) {
  if ($form_id == 'user_register') {
    $js = '$(function(){
      $("#edit-submit").click(function () {
        var homeURL = $("#home_URL").val();
        if (homeURL == "http://") {
          $("#home_URL").val("");
        }
      })
    });';
    drupal_add_js($js, 'inline');
  }
}

Yeah, kind of hacky, but seemed like a reasonable quickfix to a non-critical issue.
