How to use linked URL in custom Email templates?

nemmar Jul 25, 2012 01:58AM EDT

Hi,
I created a custom text and html email template for my account. But for some reason the page URLs are just displaying as plain text and not links that the reader can just click to visit the site page. Here is the line of code I have in the HTML email template:

<p style="margin:10px">Your friend wants you to see this page: {{url}}</p>

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Or are the page URL's only displayed as plain text and not a linked URL?

Thanks for any advice!

Are you editing the Text template or the HTML template?

Paul,
Sorry about my late reply. I didn't get an email that someone replied to my post.

I edited both templates so it decides which one to send depending upon the email service it uses. Shouldn't it work for both?

No, but if you didn't and viewed one or the other it would have been that.

Can you send me the URL you're seeing the issue on?

Paul,
The problem happens with all the URL's. It's not any particular page, it's all the pages when you receive an email with the URL for that page it only displays as text and not a linked URL.

If you want to test the AddThis email feature to see the problem you can view any page on my site at www.nemmar.com and use the AddThis features in the left sidebar or in the footer of the pages.

By the way, how do I set my AddThis account to notify me by email when someone replies to a post on this support forum?
