Clickable phone number in column

    Hi Tobias. I have a table containing peoples names and phone numbers. I’d like to allow users to click the phone number and allow it to dial on mobile phones using the
    7003569494 tag. To do this I would need to write some php code. How do I grab the phone number in each row of the column to wrap it in the tag?

    Thanks very much for this great plugin. How can I donate from Canada?

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Can you explain why you would need to write PHP code? You should only need to have to insert that link HTML code, with the tel: protocol.

    And thanks for wanting to donate, I really appreciate it! The options from https://tablepress.org/donate/ should all work from Canada as well, from everything I know.

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Thanks Tobias. I guess I don’t need php. I haven’t used HTML in Tablespress before so thank you for that. How would I use the tel: protocol around the phone number in each cell so that each number in the column is clickable? (as you can tell I’m a bit of a novice)

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    how did you create the link to the phone number here in this forums thread?
    Didn’t you paste in HTML code for a link?

    That’s the same procedure in TablePress. Just add link HTML code like

    <a href="tel:+917003569494">Call us at +917003569494</a>

    into the table cell.

    Regards,
