Hi,
Interested to know whether possible to include a mailto: for email addresses on candidate / contact list? I noted in /lib/contacts(or candidates etc.) the following:-
'E-Mail' => array('select' => 'contact.email1 AS email1',
'sortableColumn' => 'email1',
'pagerWidth' => 80,
'filter' => 'contact.email1'),
I have tried a few 'pagerRender' => 'return ... combinations but can't seem to get it to work

Also, adding to that - I'm not sure if pagerRender is even the right thing to use; I'm trialling and error'ing, plz don't burn me haha

Hi,
maybe if you can take a step back - what are you trying to achieve? making the email address in the contact list clickable?

Okay! so you want them as clickable hypertext links in the list view, as when you open the candidate details view, they are displayed as clickable hypertext links
In /modules/candidates/Show.tpl, the field is displayed by;
Code: Select all <tr>
<td class="vertical">E-Mail:</td>
<td class="data">
<a href="mailto:<?php $this->_($this->data['email1']); ?>">
<?php $this->_($this->data['email1']); ?>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
haven't identified where the lists view is right now - but this is they type of code you should be adding...

Thanks Russ,
Having looked through code, I think the contact / candidate list page is displaying lib/Contacts(or candidates).php - although I may be wrong. I have tried using codes similar to the above but to no avail

This is totally cheating and a workaround. But it looks like there are plugins for Chrome that automatically turn email links on a page into hyperlinks. I imagine there are some for firefox as well. That may be worth looking at.
