Unable to link to an external url (Bolt cms)

Question

I'm using Bolt CMS and I'm trying to create a link to an external website.

So I'm getting a record from a contenttype (this works), but when I try to link to this record using a href, my domain is added in the url.

Whatever I do, I'm unable to link to an external website.

<a href="{{ record.contentlink }}">Link</a> 

links to "mydomain.com/www.externalurl.com", while I just want to be directed to www.externalurl.com.

I'm expecting the solution to be very simple, but so far I haven't found the answer... Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

try

<a href="http://{{ record.contentlink }}">Link</a> 

it should work as long as you don't have 'http://' in record.contentlink
