Handler to pick up URL clicks

[mattekure]

I was being stupid, and got the DB.getValue() and DB.getText() messed up in my head. Once I took a step back and rewent over it I realized I was calling the wrong one. the DB.getValue() got me exactly what I want. and I actually got the entire extension working the way I want it to. I am doing some final testing on it now, but it seems to work great.

And I really did try the code you included. I dont know if I was tired or what, but up until 30 mins ago, I would swear it wasnt returning the xml.

I didn't understand exactly what you were trying to do - I thought (mistakenly) that the link details you were after were stored directly in a database node and not in a formattedtext field. Sorry I misled you.
Hopefully what I posted might be useful for when you do want data directly from a the database!

I appreciate the help. I am still fairly new to LUA and programming with Fantasy Grounds. But I think this piece is finally coming together.

for a better explanation of I was trying to do, I have a module with a list of story entries. Each story entry has a bunch of links in the form of:

<link class="url" recordname="http:/abc.com">Name</link>

I wanted to go through the links and convert them into the form

<link class="url" recordname="http:/abc.com?authentication_code=123445">Name</link>

So initially I was trying to get the text from the formatted text field, but obviously I was going about it the wrong way. now with a simple nNode.getValue() I can get the data I need to make the changes.
