adding mailto:

[Ads7]

Wish to add a mailto:[email protected] in menu links simply adding that to URL appends it with the host URL. Could you guide how to go about it

@Ads7 did you try with url = "mailto:[email protected]" on menu link param (I didn't test by myself)

[[menu.links]]
  weight = 1
  identifier = "email"
  name = "Email me"
  url = "mailto:[email protected]"

I've tried by my side url="mailto:..." and it's not working...
I've fixed this issue by editing menu.html (line 3)

    {{ if and (or (in .URL "://") (in .URL "mailto:")) (not (in .URL (printf "%s" $.root.Site.BaseURL))) }}

@AlexandreCantin Thank for you feedback I will add it on theme

The suggested solution above causes a new tab to be opened when mailto is clicked. Instead of combining the mailto stuff with the external link stuff, a new if branch should be created just for mailto:

{{ if and (in .URL "mailto:") (not (in .URL (printf "%s" $.root.Site.BaseURL))) }}
<a class="sidebar-button-link {{ if eq .Identifier "search" }}open-algolia-search{{ end }}" href="{{ .URL | safeURL }}" rel="noopener">
{{ else if and (in .URL "://") (not (in .URL (printf "%s" $.root.Site.BaseURL))) }}
<a class="sidebar-button-link {{ if eq .Identifier "search" }}open-algolia-search{{ end }}" href="{{ .URL | safeURL }}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">
