[EP-tech] Re: How to make related URLs appear as text links and not bare URLs?

Thanks, Seb.

In eprint_fields.pl, there is this stanza:

{
>             'name' => 'related_url',
>             'type' => 'compound',
>             'multiple' => 1,
>             'render_value' => 'EPrints::Extras::render_related_url',
>             'fields' => [
>                           {

>                             'type' => 'url',

Is the above what I need to tweak?

While somewhat outdated, this still applies:

Also check EPrints::Extras::render_related_url() which seems to do something similar to what you want.
