Hello,
I would like to config one of the Marketing spots on the front page to email the content developer with suggestions, when clicked. When I try to use the mailto item in the URL, I get an error that it is invalid. How can I have one of the marketing spots open a new email? Is there a better way to do this?
Sincerely,
Peter
Posting the actual error might help!!!! Along with what you did exactly.
Ok, looks like no easy solution to this (bar ignoring that setting and writing you own button markup in the text box). This is because the theme uses 'PARAM_URL' correctly: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/settings.php#L1648 as defined here: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/MOODLE_31_STABLE/lib/moodlelib.php#L235-L239 however looking at: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2368 and https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068 then 'mailto' is a valid URL / URI that Moodle core is incorrectly filtering. Therefore core issue to raise (you) on the tracker.
