This is a limitation of the javascript validation library that I am using for the site. The rule it offers to check if the field contains a URL does not have an option to specify that the protocol is optional.
That being said, I have just modified the message to:
“The input value is not a correct URL. Requires http://.”
Please update to new version that will be out shortly and consider donating to support this plugin’s development.
Yannick,
When do you expect the latest update to be out?
Oops. I seem to have messed up something with the upload process. I thought I had send it out over the week-end. I will only be able to look into it tomorrow night and make sure it goes out. Sorry about that.
Great, thanks so much Yannick. I will be sending a donation.
Much appreciated. I will drop a note here when the new version is ready to download.
Just pushed out the fixes I made last week-end. Sorry for the delay.
Thanks Yannick,
I just realized another (maybe better option) would be to just put the value of the field to value=”http://”
Or rather in addition to the notice since the user could still manually delete that text, you’d still want to notify them about it before submitting.
Make sense. I will add that in within the next couple of days.
Just pushed out new version setting default value to http://
?? It was fine before.. I Really really need to remove that default: value=”http://”
like it was before… where do i remove it from?
What issues does having the default cause, since it needs to be entered anyways?
I can look at adding an option to display it or not.
