TOPIC: HTML code in SQL mapped field

HTML code in SQL mapped field 13 years 8 months ago #14570

I absolutely love the SQL mapping feature in RS Forms Pro!! I am using it to make article submissions idiot-proof and display in uniform format. I have noticed that when I am entering html tags in the mapping field it gets stripped. I wonder if this is done by Joomla or a RS Forms and would like to know if there is a way to include html tags in the mapped field. I have been employing a workaround by putting html-code in hidden fields and contructing my mapped article field like that.
For example, I would like for the user to input a weblink address, but would like it to be displayed as a "click here" link in the article. Since the mapped field does not allow me to enter:
<a href="{Web Link:value}" target="_blank">click here</a>
I have been doing this:
{Web Link Start:value}{Web Link:value}{Web Link End:value}
where
{Web Link Start:value}=<a href=" (hidden field - default value)
{Web Link:value}=user input of web link
{Web Link End:value}=" target="_blank">click here</a> (hidden field - default value)

It works, but I was wodering if there is a more elegant way to achieve this?!
