Hey all -

I’ve dug around for the answer to this and if it is, in fact, out there for give the repetitive post.  I’m trying to use this:

{encode="[email protected]" title="Email Me!"}

But in this manner:

{encode="{team-member-email}" title="Email {team-name}!"}

It adds an a href to the code when you view it so I’m wondering if this will even work at all or if I have my head up my butt.

Just a note, this is not with site members, the “team-member-email” is a custom field in the team blog.  Thoughts? Help? Public stoning for asking a lame question?

Thanks in advance.

If you do use {encode}, make sure to turn off “Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?”.

Yep.  Did that… It’s still showing me the email address with an <a

OK, let me dig through my templates. I vaguely remember having done something like that.

Awesome, thank you.  I thought it looked pretty straight forward but, apparently not. :D

Works just fine for me. Yes, encoding adds a mailto: link to it, too, but this is standard EE functionality. So, unless I’m totally not getting your problem, your code should work just as-is.

wtf.  Ok, then I must have something wacky here in the set up somewhere.  It adds the mailto: as it should but turns it in to an href after that so I don’t know.

No, not happening for me… Perhaps someone from staff will chime in on it, too.

Kathy, can we back up a bit?  Create a weblog entries tag with just your custom field pulled into it, and let’s see what is output exactly.  That should be the only code on the page, so that we know exactly what’s happening.  If you can give us a link to the test template, that’d rock.  Thank you =)

Hi Lisa 😊

Here you go:

This is all I have in the template:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="team" orderby="date" sort="asc" limit="15"}

{team-member-email}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

I have all the “turn urls into links” stuff turned off.

[Nevermind]

And are you testing this with a new entry, or an existing entry?

I have it just spitting out the last 15 in this blog (only 4 of which have email addresses entered into the field in question).  Shall I add a new entry?

Yes, please do try it with a new entry.

Still doing the same thing… ?  I am stumped.
