   Giving a form field a 'URLValidator' puts the field a link on the page, however 'EmailValidator' doesn't do that.

   I tried adding this to \api\api.php but didn't work. Can anyone suggest anything for this?

   Here's what I did code block starting line 187

   case 'meta':
               default:
                   $value = wpbdp_get_listing_field_value($listing, $field);
   
                   if ($value) {
                       if (in_array($field->type, array('multiselect', 'checkbox'))) {
                           return esc_attr(str_replace("\t", ', ', $value));
                       } elseif ($field->type == 'textarea') {
                           return wpautop(wp_kses($value, array()), true);
                       } elseif ($field->type == 'social-twitter') {
                           return _wpbdp_display_twitter_button($value, array('lang' => substr(get_bloginfo('language'), 0, 2)) );
                       } elseif ($field->type == 'social-linkedin') {
                           return _wpbdp_display_linkedin_button($value);
                       } elseif ($field->type == 'social-facebook') {
                           return _wpbdp_display_facebook_button($value);
   					} elseif ($field->type == 'EmailValidator') {
                           return "<a href=mailto:".$value.">".$value."</a>";
                       } else {
                           if ($field->validator == 'URLValidator') {
                               if (is_array($value)) {
                                   $value_url = $value[0];
                                   $value_text = !empty($value[1]) ? $value[1] : $value[0];
                               } else {
                                   $value_url = $value;
                                   $value_text = $value;
                               }
   
                               if (!$value_url)
                                   return '';
   
                               return sprintf('<a href="%s" target="%s" title="%s">%s</a>',
                                              esc_url($value_url),
                                              isset($field->field_data['open_in_new_window']) && $field->field_data['open_in_new_window'] ? '_blank' : '_self',
                                              esc_attr($value_text),
                                              esc_attr($value_text));
                           }
   
                           return wp_kses($value, array());
                       }
                   }

   My new part is the if EmailValidator part. Thanks

   Hi candell,

   Yes, the email validator isn't supposed to put a link out there. The link makes it easy to harvest the address, as spambots look for "mailto:" and then scrape the address. It's not as obvious with a plain email field.

   We'll look into this as a future enhancement though. Thanks for the feedback.

   If anyone is interested this is now working for me, I was checking $field->type when I should have been checking $field->validator

   All sorted now, i know it's bad but what the client wants...

   Sometimes that's the only solution that matters. :)

   Hi candell, have the same problem, can you explain exactly what you did.
   did you change the html?
   Thanks

   Hi saritlotem

   It means editing a core file of the plugin so if you upgrade, you will have to make this change again.

   Just find the code block in my original post (I mention the file and line number) and replace with the above code. You need to change

   } elseif ($field->type == 'EmailValidator') {

   to

   } elseif ($field->validator == 'EmailValidator') {

   job done
