Hi,

Is it possible to stop the Javascript anti-spam encode for email addresses in Custom Member Profile fields, it doesn’t like it when used in a form input?

{exp:member:custom_profile_data}
<input type="hidden" id="email_address" name="email_address" value="{paypal_email}" />
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

Hi, Sam,

Unfortunately that isn’t possible at the moment, though I believe there are existing feature requests for this.  You may wish to post a feature request for this as well.

Please post back if you have any other questions.

If anyone else runs into this issue, it’s easy enough to work around it using the exp:query tag, like this:

{exp:query sql="select email as paypal_email from exp_members where member_id = {segment_2}"}
<input type="hidden" id="email_address" name="email_address" value="{paypal_email}" />
{/exp:query}

I renamed the variables in the sql variable, just to keep the tags straight (in case {email} is used in a parent tag).

Hope that helps!
