Hi. I want to edit PHPMyEdit a little bit. We're using it on our site to configure address books. Every address book requires an email address field. Where we display the form, I would like to change it from being static text to a mailto: link.
Basically, the email address will look the same (displays "person@someplace.com") but can be clicked on. The URL would be "mailto:person@someplace.com"
This doesn't seem like it would be hard, but I looked at the code and got a little scared. Is this easy to do? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
~James

I don't understand where to do this though. In "phpMyEdit.class.php" or phpMyEditSetup.php" maybe?
The class file is so huge that I'm afraid to try and guess where I would do this at in there....

in the generated call script, the configuration php file. where $opts is defined.
do not touch phpMyEdit.class.php (unless you know what you are doing)

Unfortunately I think I may need to edit that class file after all. I misunderstood what needed to be done.
If ANY text appears to be a link of some kind, be it email or http, I need to have it display as a link. I already have a python function that does this, and I've called a few python functions from PHP before. However, I think I need to do this in the class file.
ANY cell in the table needs to be processed through this function before being displayed. So I need to know where to make this change. Basically, where in the class file should I go to change the output? There has to be a place that I can go to that is something like....
echo $valueToBeDisplayed
And change it to...
echo PythodMethod($valueToBeDisplayed)
If this is also done in the configuration file, that would be fantastic. I've no experience with extending phpMyEdit though.... so I don't know how to do this there.
