Re: [Kittybiccy] Taking out <p> tag

Hi Kittybiccy,

Most of us don't recommend displaying raw e-mail addresses in the code of our pages. It makes it too easy for bots to harvest them.

I'd suggest using the plugin that Interactive Tools offers http://www.interactivetools.com/order/ or one of the other approaches I mention in my CMSB Cookbook www.thecmsbcookbook.com to accomplish this and save your client's a ton of grief in the form of spam.

Here's the code that I use for removing <p> tags.

<!-- remove leading <p>, do this _before_ displaying field value -->
<?PHP $record['yourfieldname'] = preg_replace("/^\s*<p>/i", "", $record['yourfieldname'] ); ?>

Best,

Jerry Kornbluth

Hi Kittybiccy,

So you just need it to link right? What about using a text field for the email and then displaying it with this code?

<a href="mailto:<?php echo $record['email']; ?>"><?php echo $record['email']; ?></a>

That should create something like this:

<a href="mailto:example@example.com">example@example.com</a>

Let me know if that works for you! :)

Worked perfectly, thanks Dave.

Jerry - I have told them about having emails on the site but they feel that they need them. We are looking into buying that spam plug in though as that would be a great thing to have with other clients.

Thanks guys! :)

Hi guys,

Is the email plug in still available? I can't see it anywhere to buy it?

Thanks!

the wysiwyg puts content within and opening and closing <p> tag. EG <p>wysiwyg content</p>

how do i get rid of the opening AND closing <p> tags so my content is on the same line?

Hi,

If you don't want any html added to your content, you can use a text box field instead of a wysiwyg field.

If that doesn't work for you, you could try the php strip_tags function:

Hope this helps.

Hi, All I want to do is not have the opening and closing tags that the editor propogates. Is there not a simple way to do this?
