Create Simple List of Websites

[luvsql]

I cannot seem to do something so simple in SP.  I need to create a list of URLs that are clickable.  I tried a basic custom list, but the URLs aren't clickable.  I tried the Quick Links webparts, but it only lets me use recently used links from within SharePoint.  Even the "From Link" that I simply paste in a URL says the URL is from outside of our organization.   All of these links will be external. 

Is this not possible?  For example, I want to list 5 websites and eventually add content types so they can be grouped.

Not sure how are you using the Quick Links WebPart, but you should be able to add both SharePoint and non-SharePoint Urls

If you're not already, you should be using the Picture/Hyperlink field type in a SharePoint list. If your URLs are particularly long, the Multiple Lines of Text field with formatting turned on is a viable alternative to storing clickable links.

Here is what it says when I add an external link.  Why wouldn't site members be able to view it if it's simply a website?  

[#5]

My guess is Microsoft presents that warning to make clear that Microsoft isn't responsible for your users' experience with that URL; there are certainly websites that not everyone can use if they're locked down by some other permission structure.

Have you tried the column formating option?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/declarative-customization/column-formatting

json is something like this:

{ "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "a", "txtContent": "@currentField", "attributes": { "target": "_blank", "href": "='http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/' + @currentField" } }

you'll need to adjust it to suite your purposes.

If I just ignore the message it seems I can open the links.  I was just puzzled by the message thinking I had to modify permissions on the list for the sites.

[#8]

Yeah that's a normal message for links ... that are not within the site itself ... they work fine.

Yea the warning is letting you know mainly because people will link usually to other SharePoint sites, so they are warning you saying, make sure your users of your site you are adding this too, also have access to the link you are adding.

Otherwise you will get support tickets and it's not good UI design :). But yeah, it's just trying to remind you as a user that just because they have a link there doesn't mean they can access what's on the other end.
