Data Display Links and Email
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Somewhat new to Advanced Forms and Data Display and am having a little trouble with the syntax of Data Display. I am trying to display links the are clickable and email address with mailto: I can get the fields to display but when I try to make them usable they ether do not work or disappear (sometimes make everything disappear). I tried putting in a small JavaScript it worked fine but nothing else was there.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Perhaps a couple of examples to review. Thanks!

Tony,
Thank you, I will give this a try.
Thank you, I will give this a try.
Actually, it would need to be just a little different. That second piece of code should be:
(Curly brackets around "link")
<a href="{{link}}">View this link</a>
(Curly brackets around "link")
Thanks!
Following up on this one. How would one go about embedding an email field in a template as a mailto: link?
doesn't seem to work.
Thanks
<a href="mailto:{{Your Email}}"><field name="Your Email" /></a>
doesn't seem to work.
Thanks
Meta,
Below is what I used. The first line puts the field in a place holder (feels like a variable) then that place holder can be used on the link. Hope this helps.
<field name="Apply Email" placeholder="jobmail"/>
<a href="mailto:{{jobmail}}">Apply Via Email </a>

Guy's,
I'm trying to pass the variable Owner ID to replace the static number 2 (see below), but just cannot work it out. Is this possible? Can you please help?
<a title="Search or Place Ad" href="https://www.easyroomlets.com/index.php/profile/messages/write/2/">Click here to contact <owner /></a>
Just to confirm, I'm trying to respond via a private message to the owner of an Ad
Also tried:
<field name="Owner ID" placeholder="ownerid" />
<a title="Search or Place Ad" href="https://www.easyroomlets.com/index.php/profile/messages/write/{{ ownerid }}/">Click here to contact <owner /></a>
The above just takes me back to the profile of the person reviewing the Ad, and does not open a message to the Ad originator.
What am I doing wrong?

You will need to put the placeholder at the top of the Content area of your template.
