Pods link to email address in Brizy template

Darren Nicholls

Hi there,

We've got a Pods template that has an email address field but in the brizy template there doesn't look to be a way to make it an email link.

If we add mailto: in the link to field then you can't select the field to link to.

If we select the field in link to it then just links to a 404 page with the email address in it, for example https://www.plc.freshhq.co.uk/about-us/our-team/charlene.turner@paramountlegalcosts.co.uk

Is there a way aroud this?

Thanks,
Darren

    Hi Darren,

    Kindly follow these steps

    • Select the Text you want to link to the email address.
    • In the Link tool, select the URL option
    • Click on the Database icon and select the dynamic Email field you have added using PODS

    Hi,

    Thanks for this. I've followed these steps and I'm still having the same problem. The url becomes - https://www.plc.freshhq.co.uk/about-us/our-team/charlene.turner@paramountlegalcosts.co.uk

    Not a mailto: link like it should be.

    Are you able to take another look please?

    Thanks

    Hi Darren,

    I have added a dynamic mailto link to a blog post following this approach and it works at my end. Kindly have a look at https://brizy.tech/how-to-style-a-console-table/  Scroll down to the bottom to see the link.

    Hi George,

    And this is pulling through from Pods? I'm sorry but this is just not working for us at all. It results in the link in my message below and rather than a mailto link, is a full url that leads to a 404 page.

    Is there any way you could please login and have a look?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Apologies. We were on a time pressure to get the site live and have instead found a work around - that's why it appears to be working.

    Thanks for your time though. Really appreciated.
