Hi,
This works - I just wanted to check with someone else. Using PHP, I'm trying
to take a database field, and make it a mailto: link. Simple enough. But is
this the best way?
grid name = 'client'
affected field = 'email'
Before Show > Custom Code
// -------------------------
global $client;
$new_email = $client->email->GetValue();
$client->email->SetValue("<a href='mailto:" . $new_email . "'>" . $new_email
.. "</a>");
// -------------------------
It works just fine. But am I throwing in too many steps? Am I missing
something?
Thanks.

The "visual" way of making a HREF is to add a "link field" in your design
page.
The description of the "Source/parameters" property of a link, talks about
"Page path, database field or custom expression containing the URL".
So, I think It should be possible to make a mailto: link from that,
including the $client->email->getvalue() value.
But at this moment, when clicking the "..." on that property, I can only
choose a "Page"-type.
Maybe the other options (database field or custom expression) are left to
implement at a later time?
Maybe a CCS developer could shine a light on this?

I did this
Created a link in the normal way for a database field called Member_Email.
click on the link in design mode and choose the format tab.
The href field should contain {fldname_Src}
Add mailto: to make this:
mailto:{Member_Email_Src}
Example @ :

Wow - I REALLY over-thought this one! I right-clicked, chose change to >
link, added mailto: to the HTML, and was done. I'm a moron.
I guess my real question is concerning the difference between CC and CCS. In
CC, using php, I would use something like this in Before Show:
$fldfield_name = nl2br($fldfield_name);
or
$fldfield_name = $fldfield_name + $fldfield_name2;
or
$fldfield_name = ltrim($fldfield_name);
.... et cetera.
Is the new way to affect a variable something like this?
global $form_name;
$new_variable = $form_name->field_name->GetValue();
$form_name->field_name->SetValue("do_whatever($new_variable)");
Thanks for the help!

I think that's what confused me. I thought CCS required that it go to a
page, rather than leaving it alone and letting it take the field data
automatically as the link info. I just changed the field type to a link and
added mailto: to the HTML and it works perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
