it is possibel to link an http link to another fields content - is there a way to do so with email-links too? So one can click on a persons/companies name and the email-form opens.
thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
yes it's possible.

Set up this field as custom on the "View as" settingsdialog on the Visual Editor tab and form link manually.

Hi,
here is a sample:

$value = "<a href=\"mailto:".$value."\">".$value."</a>";

thanks, that basically works. The field links to the correct email adress. Now only the first letter of the email-address is shown in view. I want it to be shown as ">>" - how can that be done?
Thanks in advance!!!!!
