How to add an e-mail link in the Define Pages Editor?

[ATFZC]

I'm updating the Shipping & Returns page through the Define pages editor. I was just wondering how I could put my e-mail address in there as a link. I know customers could just go to the Contact Us page, but I thought it would be more convenient if I could put a link right on that page. Or how could I link it to go to the Contact Us page?

Thanks

You can post links using raw HTML:

If you want to post your email address so it can be harvested by spammers, use this:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">spammers please click this link to spam us with email</a>

If you want to put a link to your contact-us page, use this:
<a href="index.php?main_page=contact_us">click here to contact us</a>

DrByte is correct. If you want to broadcast your email address to every spammer in the world, then embed it in a link.

NOBODY (with any sense) does this anymore.

Your address will be grabbed by hundreds of BOTS out there, that look specifically for embedded email addresses, and you will NEVER be able to stop the v i a g r a and member-enlargement spam that will result.

I went round and round on this with a client for whom I do some web site work. They had their site built by a "specialist" in their industry and their contact page lists the eMail addresses of each of their employees. In the end, I lost that battle because the "specialist" knows best.

Perfect!!! Thank for your help and the heads up on just embedding my e-mail address.

Sorry, one more question. How would I put in a link to a pdf document. And where would be the best folder to store this document. I was thinking the Images folder.

[DrByte]

Same concept:
<a href="folder/filename.pdf">click here to open PDF</a>

The /download/ folder already allows for PDF file access, so that's probably a good place to put it. If you want to use the /images/ folder, you'll need to add pdf support to the /images/.htaccess file, following the existing pattern. That topic is discussed in several other forum threads.

Cool. Thanks!
