You're welcome.

something much simpler and maintainable (I think). In Templavoila I 
simply created an additional "Not mapped" field 
(field_readonlinelinkfield) - and made this of type "Link field".

Ah, great. So I also learned something. This was what I would want to 
suggest but I was under the impression that it wouldn't work because of 
this quote in the wiki:

>> "The scope of the TV fields are kind of tricky, the fields are not available from within your normal TStemplate, actually they are only available from the same level (ie. you can not access fields within a section from a field outside of the section) within the TVDS."

But maybe that's outdated. Good to know, because you're right, this is 
must more maintainable and I will probably use it soon.

Help yourself by helping others :-)
