[Plugin: WP-Table Reloaded] email url's

Hi,

linking to an email address requires some additional handling. This is necessary, so that the web browser knows that an email address is coming and that the user’s email program shall be opened.

Fortunately, this is pretty simple: Just prepend the term mailto: before the email, e.g. for the email address

[email protected]

just use

mailto:[email protected]

in the “Insert Link” window.

As a side note: Be aware that publishing an email address on the internet will get you a lot spam and junk mail to that address.

Best wishes,
Tobias

Hi
I have some email addresses in some of my tables, I have installed several wordpress plugins that help to encode any mailto: links, the plugins seem to work fine in posts and pages, but they don’t encode/encrypt any mailto links that come from the tables.
I tried then wrapping up the email addresses with some javascript code inside of the tables but everything inside of javascript doesn’t show.
Any ideas, or suggestions on how I can encrypt the email addresses in the tables to avoid spam/junk mail to those addresses

Your help would be greatly appreciatted
Thanks

Hi,

those email encoding plugins first need to be connected with the plugin, through a filter hook.
If you tell me the name and link to the plugin in question, I’ll be happy to find the necessary code for you.

Doing it manually with JavaScript should also work, there’s one thing to keep in mind though: When using JavaScript, you must not have any line breaks in the code, so everything must stand in one line of text (except of course for automatic line breaks that get added by the browser because the width of the textarea is not large enough).

Tobias

Thanks for your quick response
This is the plugin I’m using
– EmailCrypt Link: https://www.goredmonster.com/projects/wp-emailcrypt/
In the mean time I will try to add the javascript code again and see if it works,

Hi Tobias
I found the solution by reading some of your other posts in the forum.
I read in one of your posts something regarding api shortcodes, so I checked if the plugin EmailCrypt supports shortcode API and it does, so I got the shortcode from the plugin page which is [emailcrypt email=”[email protected]” /] and then inserted it in the table. So when I look at the page source code I can now see the email address encoded.
Thanks for your help!! ??

Hi Brenda,

awesome! Very nice that you found the solution! ??
