Hey,

So I'm trying to set up a custom field type where I can save references to scientific articles (including the link to the article).

Then I want to use a shortcode to show these references as an ordered list in the content.

I think for this, I need a custom field type of type HTML.

But I can't seem to make it work with custom HTML field type. That field type doesn't allow me to put in any content in the editor of a specific post.

Is there any way to do this?

Hi,

If you just want to insert the URL of the articles, you can use the field type URL and set it cloneable to add more URLs on a post.

Then use the helper shortcode to show the list URLs on the frontend https://docs.metabox.io/shortcode/

Hey,

Thanks for your reply.

It has to be a combination of text and URL, not only URL. For example, like this:
```
<

ol>
<li>Busse, F., Omidi, L., Leichtle, A., Windgassen, M., Kluge, E., & Stumvoll, M. (2008). Lead Poisoning Due to Adulterated Marijuana. New England Journal of Medicine, 358(15), 1641–1642. <a href="https://doi.org/10.1056/nejmc0707784">https://doi.org/10.1056/nejmc0707784</a></li>
<li>...</li>

<

ol>
```
That's one element of the list, I want multiple of these elements in the same ordered list

Hi,

You can try to use the field textarea or wysiwyg. See the list of supported fields here
