Request: Automatic URL Conversion Extension: Add tel: links.
-
This plugin is fantastic. It works wonderfully for our organization. Big props to the developer. The Automatic URL Conversion Extension works great as well for linking email addresses in the table with a ‘mailto:’ link.
But I’m wondering about phone numbers with a ‘tel:’ link. I tested it and the table just displays the field with ‘tel:XXX-XXX-XXXX’ rather than displaying a linked phone number, as it would outside of the table.I’m using the plugin and extension for a staff directory on our website. The functionality to allow users to call a number directly from the table would be particularly useful for our mobile users. They could then simply tap on a number and their smart device would associate the link with the phone’s primary calling app and open with the number populated.
Is this a function that could be added to the extension?
Thank you,
Ryan
EDIT: I went back and looked at my table. It’s obviously been a little while since I’ve used the plugin/extension. Clearly using ‘mailto:’ is not required, since it converts automatically. So I guess the question becomes: Can the same be done for phone numbers, to convert them automatically to ‘tel:’ links?
