WIP: Components: Text Propery as Button's Custom URL doesn't work on front end

Bugs

Browser: Chrome 133.0.6943.126
OS: Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon
URL: https://lia.2sinn.dev/
Video: https://youtu.be/TlKZ7KipWRU

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Build a card with a heading, some text and a button
  2. Make a component out of it
  3. Connect a text property to the button url (Custom URL > URL > Connect property here)
  4. Put a URL into the text property
  5. Try on front end

When connecting a text property to a Custom URL on a Button element in a Component, nothing one puts into that text property will be fed into the “a” tag of that button on the Front End, meaning the links won’t work.

That’s my bug for today :slight_smile: Hope you can find a fix. Thanks!

Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for your report!

The property should be a type link and you must connect it directly to the “link type”. Then it should work as expected. Can you try this, please?

Once the link property is properly connected, you can choose the link type:

However, I agree it isn’t clear if you do not directly use the link type, since the UI let’s you connect a text property. Either that should work, too, or the option shouldn’t be there.

Best regards,

Yes! That did it! Thanks, much appreciated.

Great! I will create an improvement task to avoid confusion in the future. As I said, from my point of view, it should either work or not be possible at all.
