I get nothing at the frontend. I must be dumb.

It works now. If you call it only in Item text area.

Hi BBC,

The code would need adding per template (category_item.php, latest_item.php etc) and can be used in the K2 content module template over rides as well....

On the Joomla protecting the email address from spammers, I'm looking into that, I think it may be Joomla only protecting the email address inside of main content area(or intro text)....

I am testing it in item.php.

 

I need some option to turn ordinary Text Field into clickable email address, if it detects "@" in field.

Some simple solution. There are 5-6 files in admin/components/com_k2 that needs to be changed. But it is to much core changing for such small benefit.

You can try tweak code from user.php:

<?php echo JHTML::_('Email.cloak', $this->user->email); ?> 

 

Email.cloak hides email addresses.

Hi BBC,

The above works nicely !

Just out of curiosity I tested the Extrafields plugin code that I posted for Jock (for the Gallery plugin) and that did the same wrap in javascript routine:

 

<?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $EmailAddress ); ?>

 

Which again wraps it in Javascript - Joomla built in ?

Not sure at this moment how to add in/change the subject line...

Working on that next

This with extra fields will kill K2. People run away to SobiPro, Flexicontent and Jsblod.

 

Didn´t tried in deep last two, but Sobi is not near K2. And it would be shame to lose users just because of extra fields.

I woudn´t mind to pay yearly subscription just to have some pro documentation.

Some code snippets you can use in templates, some core (code) tweaks, etc...

 

I am aware that developers are not so eager to put new options, etc... K2 could slow down. But some central place where you can read documentation would be OK.

How your code for mail looks now ?

I don´t need it now, but paste it here for some future use.

 

All i got with my code was javascript code in address field, in mail client.

Hi BBC,

Got it sorted in the last couple of minutes....Using the code you posted, with a bit of string replacement...  ;)

 

<?php

$myhiddenemail = JHTML::_('Email.cloak', $EmailAddress); $JscriptSubject = "var suffix = ''";$EmailSubject   = "var suffix = '?Subject=Hello%20again'";$myNEWhiddenemail = str_replace($JscriptSubject, $EmailSubject, $myhiddenemail);

?>

<?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare', $myNEWhiddenemail ); ?>

 

This could be further modified if you echo another extrafield variable in place of the Hello%20again bit

I think this is part of how Joomla is coded, plugins, replacements etc to just work in the main content area...

K2 presents ways around nearly all of my issues of the standard Joomla.

Not sure how I got anything done before I started using K2 as I have found this forum and community to be a fantastic resource of information (including some from your posts BBC !) and similar minded people - I have learned so much about PHP,JSON,MySql etc from this forum and related searches to achieve my clients needs....
