I am just getting to grips with things and am very pleased with the script whilst I am evaluating it.

In Calendar Settings you can enable Auto Link which means if someone adds an http:// address in their posting this becomes a clickable link when viewed.

What I would really like is the same function for an email address, is this possible.

By enabling HTML I realise users can createc their own tags to enable this however I am not keen on allowing HTML.

Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Thanks

** What I would really like is the same function for an email address, is this possible. **

Look in the HTML.pm file located in the "lib" directory. Find the subroutine "sub autoLink" and after the line:

$text =~ s#(^|\s)(http://\S*)#$1<A HREF="$2" $target>$2</A>#gs;

try adding:

$text =~ s#(\S+@\W+\S+)#<A HREF="mailto:$1">$1</a>#gs;

That should make an email link of any string that contains an "@" symbol. It's not perfect but should work for most.

Sorry mate yours did not work but having trawled through the previous topics I found some one had posted the following which does work for me:

$text =~ s#(^|[^\w-])([\w.-]*@[\w.-]+(\.[\w-]+)+)#$1<A HREF="mailto:$2">$2</A>#gs;

Thanks for your help
