Link | Moliri

Field type link. A web address, stored as text. It is checked when displayed, not when saved. Data entry from the cataloguer’s side is described under Link .

Link field Objektadresse (object address) in Moliri with the address of the museum's object page, on the right inside the field the icon for opening it in a new window, below it the hint Valid URL

Parameters

Key	Values	If omitted	Effect
`placeholder`	String	empty	Placeholder in the empty field
`check_syntax`	`true`, `false`	`true`	Checks the spelling and shows the status
`check_reachable`	`true`, `false`	`false`	Tries to reach the page. From the browser this is only an indication
`auto_protocol`	`true`, `false`	`true`	Puts `https://` in front of a bare domain
`allow_relative`	`true`, `false`	`false`	Allows relative addresses
`allowed_protocols`	List	`http:`, `https:`	Permitted protocols. Anything else counts as invalid
`embed`	`none`, `inline`, `dropdown`, `modal`	`none`	Preview: none, in the field, expandable, in a window
`preview_height`	Number	`320`	Height of the embedded preview in pixels, limited to 160 to 1200
`modal_size`	`medium`, `large`, `fullscreen`	`large`	Size of the preview with `embed: modal`

JSON
{
  "allowed_protocols": ["https:", "mailto:"],
  "embed": "modal",
  "modal_size": "large"
}

allowed_protocols is the place for mailto:, ftp: or protocols of your own applications. Older fields carry the check switches as checkUrl with valid and reachable; that form is still read.

With embed: dropdown the preview expands below the field:

Link field Weiterführende Seite (further reading) in Moliri with a Wikipedia address, below it the hint Valid URL and the expanded preview of the page on blue and white porcelain — The field “Weiterführende Seite” (further reading) with the preview of the linked Wikipedia page expanded; between address and preview the status “Valid URL” from check_syntax.

embed: inline is worthwhile when the content is needed while cataloguing. Many websites forbid embedding; the preview then stays empty. When in doubt, use none.

Formatting

The field type comes with two formattings, neither of them preselected anywhere, because a shortened link can no longer be clicked:

Formatting	Identifier	Result
Without protocol	`standard`	Scheme and trailing slash are dropped
Domain only	`domain`	Only the host name, without `www.`

See Formatting .

When another field type fits

If the address points to a file that belongs to the object: File . The file is then kept in-house, with preview, rights information and history. If the address is built from an identifier in another field: a template field or a virtual field .
