To Add more Field-Url to same template

[franciccio-ITALIANO]

Hi, 

In one Page I would like to put a lot of url.
There is url's field.
Now, I add url's field to one template, but I don't know to add 2 or 3 or 10 url's field in that same template... the problem is simple, but processwire don't allow it...

You could achieve this by using a repeater with the url field in it.

https://processwire.com/api/fieldtypes/repeaters/

Once you have that set up you do something like:

<?php
	foreach($page->url_repeater as $url) {
		echo "<a href=\"{$url->url_field}\">" . "{$url->url_field}" . "</a>";
	}

?>

Hi @franciccio-ITALIANO

There are several ways to do that.

1. Use ProField Multiplier

https://processwire.com/api/modules/profields/multiplier/

2. Use repeater field

3. Use MultiValue Textformatter

If I understood correctly what is the need, here is another simple idea I used in the past to have a text field where you can add hundreds of url's one per line.

After that, wherever you need to pull every url, you just grab the line and you are done:

<?php   foreach(explode("\n", $page->your_urls_text_field) as $url) { // Explode every new line as a new url
echo "<p>$url<br />"; //You can add <a href.. etc.
} ?>

The only requirement is to have every new url on a new line to make it work. Hope that helps...

Ok thanks to all. But...

In professional opinion, what is the best practice for add many and same fileds in the same template in processwire?
I must choose only 1 way...

@franciccio-ITALIANO I do not thing that somebody other than you could say what is the best practice in such a simple matter so just pick the one you feel is making more sense and try it out. Again, it all depends on your preferences and the idea behind it. We just provided a few ways to accomplish it but the rest is up to you. Try one and see how it works. If not, try the next, the next and so forth until you are good with what you have  (at least this is what I do)
