Feature request: Warn when an invalid URL is the social media fields

[fancyham]

This is a pretty easy but high priority item. I noticed our current volunteers making this mistake often — we’re going to boost training here, but we should also help with error messages.

Context

Our database supports links to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. and our website requires these fields to be in a full URL format.

However, lately, our volunteers have been entering user handles instead of URLs.

Proposal

To ensure that we’re getting full URLs, let’s display an error when a URL field contains an improper URL.

These fields should start with http:// or https://

When the contents of these fields have something in them but does not validate as a URL, display an error:

“URL must start with http:// or https://“ with our standard field error message format (which I believe is currently small red text)
