I have a model called Store with a table column named website and it suppose to link to external websites. A user types in the store website (e.g. http://www.newegg.com or http://www.newegg.com) and then it will be clickable in a view to send other users to it.

I’ve tried doing:

<%= link_to store.website %>

But this obviously just links back to the same page.

How would you make a text_field or string column be read as a URL? Is this even possible?

    Maybe:

    <%= link_to store.website, store.website %>
