TNG Disable Phone Number Links

Post by steven »

If you use social security or similar numbers with dashes in an event, IOS (Apple) mobile devices (iPhones and iPads) convert those numbers to phone links. While this is not a problem it can be annoying.
The picture below shows the SS number as a link on an iPhone.

If you click the link, it tries to call the SS number.

Installing the mod prevents the number displaying as a link.

While this mod prevents IOS mobile devices from converting numbers to phone links, individual phone numbers can be displayed on any browser as a link using href as shown here: <a href="tel:123-456-7890">(123) 456-7890</a>

Note: The mod and href code was tested with an iPhone 11, 14 Max Pro and iPad Pro.
