Adding links within Crowdsource Map fields

[InnisfreeMcKinnon1]

Is there a way for contributors to add a weblink within Crowdsource?

Currently in the beta version the app does search for links in the description and will automatically make them clickable. You can do this in one of two ways:

• Just type out the full URL: http://www.example.com (gets converted to example.com)
• Write out the full html a tag if you want the hyperlink text to be different from the URL <a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">This is a sample link</a> (gets converted to This is a sample link)

This is just a temporary solution while we only have a simple text input. In a future release we plan to give authors the ability to customize the form and input types. One of the input types we plan to add is a rich text editor that includes a link button. Once this is available we will probably remove the auto hyperlinking that we have in the beta and current links will not be clickable.

Great! I can let my students know they can add links that way.
