{$invoice_link} without the html code

[unclouded]

Hey all,

 

I'm looking to use {$invoice_link} as a button in an HTML email, but {$invoice_link} produces the a tag as well.

 

I want to use something like this:

<a href="{$invoice_link}">Click Here</a>

 

But what I get is

<a href="<a href="http://linktoinvoice.com">http://linktoinvoice.com</a>">Click Here</a>

 

I'd like a merge tag which just produces the actual URL, not an hypertext link.

 

Is there a way we can do this?

I can think of three ways to do this... either write an action hook to create a new merge field without the html; use multiple Smarty replaces to remove the parts you don't want... or use other existing variables to recreate the URL - something along the lines of...

 

<a href="{$whmcs_url}/viewinvoice.php?id={$invoice_id}">Click Here</a>
