===Description===
The sf_websites is for generating a list of web URLs, where query string parameters can be filled by values from user-specified fields. The field will need to be properly setup in [[field_settings.php]]. It is better to use an attribute field, or something without verbose text as the whole string will be sent as the search term.

===Additional Fields===

sf_websites takes the following extra fields:

*'websites' - REQUIRED - this is an array containing the following values:

**'title' - REQUIRED - the title to be displayed as the link text
**'url' - REQUIRED - the base url (with other non-dynamic parameters if required, but with the dynamic parameters REMOVED)
**'params' - REQUIRED - an array containing:
***'variable' - REQUIRED - the variable name (i.e. '&search_term=')
***'fields' - REQUIRED - the field whose value will be used as the value of the parameter

===Example Configuration===

An example of sf_websites displaying a link to youTube where the search term is filled from $conf_field_common_name
<pre>
$conf_mcd_website =
array(
'view_state' => 'max',
'edit_state' => 'view',
'sf_title' => 'brd_websites',
'sf_html_id' => 'brd_websites', // Must be unique
'script' => 'php/subforms/sf_websites.php',
'sf_nav_type' => 'full',
'op_label' => 'space',
'op_input' => 'edit',
'websites' => array(
array(
'title' => 'youTube Videos',
'url' => 'http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=&aq=f',
'params' => array(
array(
'variable' => '&search_query=',
'fields' => $conf_field_common_name
)
)
),
