Adding "Email Author" Link to Article Header was created by Lee Allison

I've gotten most of this figured out:

1. I need to create a template override
2. I need to be editing item.php
3. I've even figured out the general area I need to put the new link into to get it to appear where I want on the page

What I'm missing is how I call the author's email address. Can someone help with that? Thanks!

Got it.

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

Can anyone help with adding the article title as a subject line in that email link?? This one is eluding my attempts to solve.

Your link needs to be like: <a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=testing out mailto">

So you need somethinf like:

<a href="<?php echo JHTML::_('Email.cloak', $this->item->author->email).'?subject='.K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title);">

Thank you Krikor. I understand what you are trying to do, but when I setup the link as you describe it creates the page fine, however the email cloaking is causing issues. When you click on the link it throws a "You do not have permission error" and then dumps the cloaking script.

Try it out by clicking "Email your resume to: Test2" here at: geekjoblist.com/index.php/domains/item/16-test-1

The current code is:

<?php echo "Email your resume to" ?>: <a href="<?php echo JHTML::_('Email.cloak', $this->item->author->email).'?subject='.K2HelperUtilities::cleanHtml($this->item->title); ?>">Test2</a>

You need to see how the cloaking plugin works. I think the link and the subject should be passed as variables to that function.
