Hi daco,
This can be accomplished in 2 steps.
Step 1. Set up your contact form with a variable.
Create a Field (email_address)
Define the Live Variable (option 2)
Variable Type: string
Variable: email
Step 2. Setup the
Contact email address with a link - Article Author in your case
One way is to use the HTML typography on the email and set
the value like so:
<a href="/contact-us?email=$cck->getValue('authormail');">$cck->getValue('authoremail');</a>
The thing to note, is that the variable is: contact-us?email
Hope that helps,
Randy
