Email links and empty user-info fields

  • Struggling to find settings or simple solutions to these two basic issues. Greatly appreciate any guidance!

    Email addresses appearing in a generated list are not links and just treated as data. Is this a security thing?

    Also, custom user-info fields that are empty for some people show up in the People List while standard fields (i.e. Bio information) do not display if empty. Can custom fields achieve the same behaviour? This is how it is entered in the Template Info area;

    <div class =’user-info’>Voicemail: %people_lists_voice_mail%</div>

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Jimboba2011

    I recently updated the plugin. You should be able to set before and after string that only appear if the user has entered something in them.
    About the email.

    you can try something like
    %email% in your template code.
    Cheers

    Hi enejb

    Many thanks for the prompt feedback.

    You’re email suggestions work great. Thanks.

    On the empty fields showing – my mistake really. I had hard coded the title of the field into the template like so:
    <div class =’user-info’>Voicemail: %people_lists_voice_mail%</div>

    To work around this I have removed the “Voicemail:” and placed it into the field input for that User, i.e. Voicemail: 1199

    As you say, if that is empty it doesn’t show.

    Bit of a work around but it does the job I need. Many thanks again.

    I take that back regards the labels for fields. I found the ‘before’ and ‘after’ options which is great.

    I’m not commenting on it now becuase I am still trying to set things up but I am getting the ‘before’ label area repeating in the ‘after’ label area even if there is something in that label field in the CMS.

    eg. Voice Mail: 1108Voice Mail:

    Likewise, seem to have to hand code the biography text to get paragraphs etc. Again, still need to hunt around a bit.

    Thanks again.

    Hi again enejb

    Managed top get back to the project which I was trying out your People Lists plugin.

    On the whole it is really working out well but I have not been able to work out the issue with the repetition of the contents of the before and after strings detailed below.

    I note from your readme file this was a recent addition. Could it be a bug?

    Hi enejb

    Wondering if you had had a chance to look at the repetition of filed titles described previously?

    Thanks
