Extend URL widget features to ease customization of anchor's text.

By default, the URL widget will show the plain URL.
You can specify an attribute to provide a static label too.

With this module, you can use a field for link's inner text using attribute
'text_field'. You can also add a prefix to the link using attribute
'prefix_name'.

Until 13.0 this functionality was separated in modules 'web_widget_url_advanced'
and 'web_widget_prefixed_url'

**Table of contents**

.. contents::
   :local:

Usage
=====

Use `url` widget as you do usually, then add an extra parameter `text_field`
to indicate which field (present in the view already) must be used for the anchor text.


.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="some_url" widget="url" text_field="another_field" />

M2O fields are supported: `display_name` is used automatically.


For example, in the partner form,
if you want to display the website link with partner's name as anchor you can do:


.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="website" widget="url" text_field="name" placeholder="e.g. www.odoo.com"/>

This is going to change the rendering from

to

.. figure:: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OCA/web/15.0/web_widget_url_advanced/static/description/after.png

Or user can add any hyperlink text using 'prefix_name' attribute

.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="skype_name" widget="url" 'prefix_name': 'skype'/>

both can be applied inside the options attribute too:

.. code-block:: xml

    <field name="skype_name" widget="url" options="{'prefix_name': 'skype'}"/>

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* ``<field text_field="foo"/>`` is not supported in tree views.
