Hi
How do you create a link on an emial field in a Connectivity table list?
Thanks

<a href="mailto:{var:tableview.row.model.emailfield}">Link text</a>

Thanks
In the table listing view, did this
<a href="mailto:{var:member_list.row.members.email}">Email</a>
But it returns a literal.

Any help here please.

It goes in column view not column list

Like this?
It doesn't create link on email records, nor create a new column.
Tried var:member_data too, which is the read data function name.
Nor sure what the difference is between column list and column view?

Column list is the list of columns you want displayed in your table. Column view is what you want shown for that column. You need to identify the column the view is for.
​
So you need to put

members.email:<a href etc etc etc

OK so have to leave members.email:Email in column list so that it shows, then edit the format / functionality in column views

Placed this in column views but now no email addresses showing. There is a column with Email header but no addresses
members.email:<a href="mailto:{var:member_list.row.members.email}"></a>

Well of course not, you don't have anything between the a tags buddy. <a href="link">link text</a>

Yes I saw that and must have added after u posted, sorry.
The a tag in the 12.10 post does not work

What do you mean it doesn't work

Placed it in column views but no email addresses showing. There is a column with Email header but no addresses

What does the debug look like and if you inspect a cell that should have an email in it what did the html look like

What does your column view look like now?

Okay so third time now, you need to put something in between the a tags!

OK, but how to get the members email address to show. The link text works but is literal.
Tried this members.email:<a href="mailto:{var:member_list.row.members.email}">members.email</a>

Should have figured that out... .
Thank you Healyhatman.
