Custom Field Questions

Raptre:
I'm trying to create a custom field section for my database to place my trailers.  I've managed to create a link to a trailer in a memo field, but I can only place 1 link.  This doesn't help if I have more than one trailer unless I make multiple memo fields.

1. Is it possible to place more than one link in a custom field?  If so, how?

I would also like to center the text in the custom field instead of the left alignment.  I found a tag in the skin <customsection> but I'm unsure what to do.

2. What would I need to do in order to center the text in my custom field?

Lastly it would be more aesthetically pleasing if I was able to use an image file instead of text as the link to the trailer.

3. Is it possible to use an image for the link to the trailer?

Welcome, Raptre.

1. You should be able to put an unlimited number of links in a custom memo field, but not other field types. They can be raw URLs or hyperlinks—right-click and select Create Hyperlink.

2. AFAIK, while an object can be centered in a column, it's not possible to center the contents of a field.

3. No.

Raptre:
Thanks for your response and although I'm a tad disappointed with the inability to use images or center the text the prospects of just adding the links are good.

However this is the coding I'm using in the memo field, but only the link to trailer 1 shows up.

--- Code: ---<link url="Z:\Trailers\2012_t1.mov">Watch Trailer #1</link>
<link url="Z:\Trailers\2012_t2.mov">Watch Trailer #2</link>
--- End code ---

EDIT:
I managed to get multiple links to appear, but only when I dont use a line break.

--- Code: ---<link url="Z:\Trailers\2012_t1.mov">Watch Trailer #1</link> | <link url="Z:\Trailers\2012_t2.mov">Watch Trailer #2</link>
--- End code ---

The second link will appear if you expand the field by clicking on plus to the right ;)

Raptre:
Haha now I feel just so utterly stupid.  Thanks for that.

Here is a screencap if anyone has an idea on how to center the text
