Bug: URL not checked consistently

If there is a URL on the form and the user types in:

http:/www.mysite.com (watch the single forward slash)

the value passes the field check (no red border) but NOT the data validation on the Save().

Then user is clueless: something is wrong, but no visual indicator.

BTW: Everybody so far has HUGE problems with the mandatory http:// or https:// in front of a URL. They never have to do that anywhere, on any form, just www.mysite.com or Facebook suffices everywhere, but not here.
Can you do something about that, e.g. take the mandatory part away, change check if it is omited, it is inserted automatically?
Really, everybody made an errror here during Alfa-testing.

Guys, I need some input here. It´s a real problem and I do not know how to fix it.

Hi,
You can use Data Hooks to manipulate data before saving it to the database. If this is not what you were referring, please send us a screencast so that we can better understand what you were referring.
Simply recreate the issue while recording the steps and add the screencast.com URL to your response.

Best,

I am a little pressed for time here, so I will have to try again in text:
1)define a URL field in a collection
2) on a form, attach an user input element to it
3) run it and fill out an address with ONE forward slash instead of two
4) field validation accepts this, no red border
5) save it and watch browser console window. You will see a no save, validation error
6) there is no user clue which field is wrong

Hi Giri,

We were able to reproduce the issue. It appears that there is a difference between the front end URL validation and the backend validation.

We will reply as soon as we have feedback.
Best regards,

Thanks, I already got a similar message from Liram to my latest video production showing the problem. He offered a regex workaround.
