[GSheets to App] - How to retrieve hyperlinks from a Google Sheet into the app

Hi Luis! I would like to make a website containing a filter & sortable table of chess tournaments, as a personal project. This list will be updated from a Google Sheet almost on a daily basis. Some of the table columns will contain links to external websites.

I quickly tested GSheets2App on a localhost and I love it, but as you said somehow Google Sheets doesn't return my link URL data into the JSON file of the app. Therefore all my links are broken. Only the text is retrieved.

You mentioned a workaround on Codecanyon's comments. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @weblogic,

Yes, instead of storing the links as clickable text, just insert the whole link URL (ie: "https://google.com" instead of "Google")
Later today I will share here a modified code to use that link.

Regards.

@weblogic I have sent you a new version by WeTransfer. Please check your email.
Now if you want to include links in a column just add "(link)" to the columns name. If you want to include a text to the link, use "::" to separate the text and the link.

For example:
Google::https://google.com

Let me know if you have any doubts.

Best regards.

It works like a charm. Thank you so much!!!! :))

@weblogic great! Please consider publishing a review on CodeCanyon :)
Thank you!

@luishp I already posted a review last night, you're a star!! :))

I'll post the website url here once it is made public.
