Description
When a news item / forum post is added and it includes a link to an email address (email@example.com), the address is highlighted and underlined like a link but the link is not "clickable".
I have tried:
Process 1-Manual HTML Coding:
- I typed my text (e.g. email@example.com)
- I click the HTML icon.
- I added this code sequence: <a href= m a i l t o : email @ example.com>email @ example.com</a>
- I clicked Update
- Moodle created the link.
Process 2:
- Type text (e.g. email@example.com).
- Select the text
- Click the link icon in the WYSIWYG editor
- Under Link URL I typed: email@example.com.
- I clicked insert.
- Moodle created the link.
After both processes Moodle created the link. Once the post was posted to the forum, Moodle stripped the formatting so that it read: <a>email@example.com</a>. When looking at the post, Moodle makes the email appear in blue (as though it were a link), but it you cannot click on the link (or at least it does not take you anywhere).
