Profile Badges Linking to External Site

Hi there, 

I'm about to bring in a group of people who are all creatives with their own individual Patreon accounts. I'm looking for advice on how to support this group well and promote their creatve work. 

I have setup some custom profile fields for them to add their websites to, including Patreon. 

Is there a way to ONLY make those extra profile fields available to a specific membership group? 

Is there a way to create a graphic badge for them which says something like "MY PATREON", which would be a graphic badge under their profile icon, and which is clickable to take people direct to their site? 

I've got it set now so people can see the text link to their sites, but I'm guessing some of them will have really long urls which will look messy if it's just text, and it would be better if it was a nice looking badge instead of the text link. 

Thanks.

Strangely enough, profile fields are not member-group specific, even though that would make perfect sense. 

You can control the appearance of profile links in the forums (but not on the profile page) by editing the “Custom Topic Formatting” option of the field. Here is an example where a link is turned into a badge. You could just replace the badge part with an image (<img src="https://yoursite.com/patreon.png">) and you would get what you want.

Thanks OpenType - this has worked just as I wanted!! 

Next question ... Is there somewhere I can see visually all the styling options available already built into the CSS?
