CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm using CiviCRM with Joomla 1.5.9 and I have a user form that gathers, among other data, the email address. I also have a search function that lets other users find someone in that particular group. I would like to hide the email address (to avoid risk of spammers scraping it), but ensure that visitors can contact the person by linking the name to a contact form populated with the correct (hidden) email address.

So, the search wants to contact the searchee, and clicks a link that opens an email form in the website, on submit it goes to the searchee, and sends a copy to me.

Also, I'd like to change the word on the form submit button...which currently says "Save".

Thanks,

I would settle for the ability to let the person filling out the profile form choose whether to display her email address publicly.

Perhaps I should just ask where's the best place to learn how to create a customized template?
Also, does that mean a single-page template, or do I tweak the template for the whole site?

Thanks,
Scott

UPDATE: I have successfully tweaked the Profile display template for easier reading, and succeeded in linking the contact's name with a simple mailto: link.
I'm still trying to figure out how I can feed that address to a dynamically-created contact form so the email address is hidden, but a user can send an email through the site to the contact.

If you'd like to know how I did that, feel free to contact me.
