Hi Stephen

Could you perhaps post the code you're trying to get working? Think that will make it more easy to suggest solutions :)

/Jan

Thanks Jan...here is the code.

<umbraco:Item field="locationEmail" insertTextBefore="<b>Email: </b>" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

Will this need to become a marco to allow me to make this an email link...

Hi Stephen,

Can use some quick and dirty inline XSLT,

<b>Email: </b> <umbraco:item Field="locationEmail" runat="server" recursive="true" Xslt="concat('<a href=&quot;mailto:', {0} , '&quot;>', {0} , '</a>')" XsltDisableEscaping="true" />

Or use an inline razor macro,

Tom

Here's the Razor version;

<umbraco:macro language="razor" runat="server">

<b>Email: </b><a href="mailto:@Model.locationEmail">@Model.locationEmail</a>

</umbraco:macro>

Sorry for the slow reply guys, appreciate all your responses...going for the Razor option, just need to hide the "Email:" if there is no email entered.

Many thanks,

S

wierd I'm getting a "Error loading Razor Script DisplayEmail.cshtml" on that script...do i need the

if (Model.HasValue("locationEmail")) to be

if (@Model.HasValue("locationEmail"))?

S

Hi Stephen,

Are you using the code in an external razor script file?

The code I posted can be used inline on a master page - so you don't need to create an umbraco macro, or macro script file to run it,

Many Thanks,

Tom

Sorry to hijack this post, but I have a related question as I have a similar solution, where I insert our staff email addresses on a site via a macro.

My question is if the email is spambot searchable?

@using umbraco.MacroEngines

@{

  var nodeId = PageData[0];

  var staff = Library.NodeById(nodeId);

}

<div class="staff">

  <div class="name">@staff.Name</div>

  <div class="jobtitle">@staff.title</div>

  <div class="phone">Tlf: @staff.telephone</div>

  <div class="email">Email: <a href="mailto:@staff.email">@staff.email</a></div>

</div>

Mark.

Hi Mark,

It's my understanding that any email in plain text can be read by a spambot. Some spam bots can do patten recognition on email addresses rendered as images but these tend to be more expensive to construct / opperate and are therefore much rarer.

If you are worried about the emails being sniffed, I would consider using ImageGen to render them out as images.

Something like:

<img src="/[email protected]&Font=Arial&FontColor=f1f7f0&FontSize=600&FontStyle=bold" />

The image gen module could be in the umbraco folder in you implementation. Also, refer to the image gen docs here for more info on fonts etc http://www.percipientstudios.com/imagegen/documentation.aspx

Many Thanks,

Tom
