Hey,

Request from a customer that has an asterisk PBX: displaying the phone numbers (on contact summary and search results) as a clickable link after some cleaning.

Eg the phone number +44 141 928 042 would be displayed as <a href="tel:0044141928042">+44 141 928 042</a>

What's the best way of doing it?

Was thinking
1) modifying the core to add a new smarty {$contact.phone|phoneNumber} plugin that calls a hook that does the change
or
2) modifying the core to add a <span class="crmt-phone">{$contact.phone}</span> so we can have a .extra that does the formating on the client side

In both ways, can't see how to avoid having to change the core.
Suggestions?

for 1) isn't it already possible to "normalise" the phone number on the pre save hook on phone?

(I'm doing something like that for names to avoid all uppercase names and seems to work ok)
