Hi Max,
I'm creating a form in which admins can send an email to a particular user or set of users. Therefore I have a text area in my form with WYSIWYG for the email body. The default value includes the mail signature.
However, when I try to include an email address in the default value of the text area, it is blocked. I also tried by adding the email address as text and not as hyperlink, but it also doesn't work.
Do you think there is any way this could be resolved?
Best regards,
Bart
Hi Bart
How exactly is it blocked ?
Hi Max,
In the text editor it doesn't show the email address, but the text "This email address is protected from spam bots. You need to have javascript enabled in order to see it.".
Joomla seems to put email addresses inside a html tag "joomla hidden". On a webpage it is still shown correctly (I suspect it is corrected with javascript), but inside the form field it is not.
I did not test if it would be the same if I entered an email address as default value in a simple text field instead of a text area.
Your form is loaded inside an article ? there is a Joomla plugin which does this, but it should not affect the form output unless the form is loaded inside an article
if you can not resolve this then you will need to either disable the plugin or set it to skip the page with the form
Hi Max, You nailed it. It is the (built in) Joomla plugin 'Content - Email cloaking'. It can be disabled in an individual article by adding {emailcloak=off}. This solved the issue for me.
great, glad you have solved it
