Title: can we add a "mailto:" on the banner module?
Post by: ROUBOS on June 28, 2010, 23:38:45

Hi all,
I know we can add a URL to the banner ads to direct visitors to client's websites, but is it possible to just add a mailto: ???
For email only?

Asking just because this person does not have a website. And we just put up an add with contact info on it.
Is it possible to have no website url?

thanks

and create custom code with image overwrite + mailto class

Are you talking about the standard banner module of Elxis or to create a custom one and to link it with e-mail instead of url?

Looking better your request and for the reason that the standard banner module of Elxis gives possibility only for url, i think that you must create a user module, where you will insert the banner you want and you must use also Andvanced email bot (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/communication/27.html) to hide e-mail address from spammers. If you try to make a simple link of the banner with an e-mail address, in this way is not hiding e-mail into source from spammers.

I checked it right now and i found out that bot which i mentioned above works only into content items and not into user modules. So propably you need a custom module for this (not difficult to do it).

thanks a lot.
It's not a big deal so I might not bother with it.
Have never looked into creating custom modules or making copies of modules etc.

Will look into it.
