Hello -

Completely new to the forum having just bought the Ari Data Tables yesterday. Needed it to build a quick dynamic, searchable contact list in a Joomla 2.5.6 site. Went very smoothly. Thank you for good documentation.

What is required to in order to link e-mail addresses within the table? I am not a programmer and I do not have much experience with database work.

Here is the table in question on a test page of the client's site:
66.147.244.99/~bishopha/index.php/contact-administration-faculty-or-staff

Thank you!
Michelle

In the SQL Query text box of the module in question:

Hello,

You can also use "Columns Settings -> Format" parameter. For this set "Columns Settings -> ID" parameter to E-MAIL value and "Columns Settings -> Format" parameter to the next value:

<a href="mailto:{$value}">{$value}</a>

I just tried this method, by switching the module I had working using my method, and it works great!

Thanks!

If you have a problem with our solution, provide a link to a page where we can see it so we can investigate the problem.

Thank you all for the help. I will definitely attempt and let you know if I get stuck.

An additional note: when I placed the module within an article using the data table plug in, the email field was correct and the links okay.

66.147.244.99/~bishopha/index.php/contact-faculty-staff

I will have to spend time when I am not on deadline with a frantic client to learn more.

Thanks for the support!
