Re: [drupal-devel] reviews needed
Putting the http://blah/ before the text box is a usability nightmare.
Huh? I don't agree here. If you have: custom URL http://www.example.com/[ ] If you want to change the path to this page, please complete the URL for this node above. Or something like that can NEVER be a usability nightmare. Of course, I am going to get flack about my choice of words here for my help description, but I am talking in concept here. Usability problem? No way! Regards, Kobus

You're lucky if you can get users to read the help text let alone try to understand some arcane formatting they've never seen before. It would be much better to put that text IN the input field and ask the user to complete the URL. Then strip that text back out again before saving the field. Even better again to suggest a complete, default URL for that node and asking the user to confirm it. ...R.
