email address link problem in Link up free

[Anton]

Okay - I'm sure this will be my last problem of them all - seeing that I'm a FREE link up user, but it's all about bug reports and what not - so its not anything cosmetic actually - so you can only find my complaints USEFUL Smile

Problem:
In the Admin section of Link up free, when I need to approve a link I can edit the email address that they entered ie: testing@tesing.com to <a href=mailto:testing@testing.com>email us</a> and approve the link - and then it displays like a email us link in the user end....

BUT
when I try to do the same at the EDIT link side on the admin side, meaning that I want to modify all the links placed with emails in them to the email us option with a link the whole email address and the link (email us) disappears on the front end - any suggestions? I would really like to be able to make all the mails links by editing them in the admin area instead of re-posting them and re-approving them

Any thoughts? Please

Does it mean that you enter html tags to the email field? It's not possible, sorry. But if you want to have the email link clickable in admin area, it's there by default. When you search for links, it displays the list and there is name of the owner of each link, when you click on this name, the link leads to the email address. Is this what you wanted? Or did you want to display the emails on public pages?

Nope - you can make the email address appear as an email link in the DESCRIPTION on the public pages if you use html tag check it out at:

I managed to do this when I was in the APPROVE A LINK in the ADMIN side by changing the normal email that they provided BEFORE I APPROVE IT; say jamesdalton@ferobrake.com
to
<a href=mailto:jamesdalton@ferobrake.com></a>
ONLY THEN IT DISPLAYS AS A LINK ON THE USER SIDE

But when I figured it WAS possible, I wanted to make all my previously submitted (approved) links to a email link.

I tried doing it in the EDIT A LINK area, but when I do it, it destroys that whole piece of code
<a href=mailto:jamesdalton@ferobrake.com></a> and leaves it blank on the user side.

See - but it's totally possible if you REMEMBER to do the change BEFORE YOU APPROVE THE LINK but not AFTER you've approved it, when you try to do it in the EDIT A LINK part (for display on the Public Pages - Nothing to do with the link in the admin side).

You should not enter HTML tags in any field, it will not work properly. This option is available only in Link Up Gold. To display clickable emails on public pages, use the following code in template link.txt:
<a href="mailto:#%email%#">#%email%#</a>
