Hello everyone,

i have a litte problem with a mailto: link.
In my custom class I have a textfield called email.
In the templete I use this code to display the email adress:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.email}

This works fine.

Now I want to make a mailto: link to this email adress. When I use

E-Mail: <a href="mailto:{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.email}">{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.email}</a>

I get this in the HTML output:

E-Mail: [email protected]"> [email protected] 

So obviously something is wrong! Can anybody help?

You should use an XML-field instead of a text-field in your admin and write

 <link href='mailto:<your mail>'><your link></link>

Alternatively you can use the email datatype

I'm using the email datatype but it doesn't work: i get the adress but not as a link .
Have tried all this:

 <td>1<link href='mailto:<{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}>'><{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}></link></td>
     <td>2<link href='mailto:<{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}>'>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}</link></td>
      <td>3<link href='mailto:<{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}'>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}</link></td>
      <td>4<link href='mailto:<{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}'><{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}></link></td>
       <td>5<link href='mailto:{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}' >{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}</link></td>
       <td>6<link href='mailto:{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}' >>{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.mail}</link></td>  

Some idea will be helpfull (headache in perspective...)

Finally, I use an XML-field filled like this:

<link href='mailto:[email protected]'>[email protected]</link>

It works fine...and my headache too !
