Not a bug Template 'message_macros' Not Respecting Value display HTML

Can I just confirm that you are editing the message_macros template in order to add your ppMeLink code?

If so, that's really not how the system is supposed to work - you shouldn't need to edit the template, you should simply enable the 'Custom Fields' option in the messages style properties group, and then the value display HTML will be output in the appropriate place.

There is currently no simple way to restrict the visibility of custom user fields to registered members only.

What you are currently doing appears to be calling the simple value of the custom field ($user.custom_fields.ppMeLink) rather than the HTML-formatted version, which can only come by calling the appropriate template macro along with the field definition, which includes the {$definition.getFormattedValue($value)|raw} call.

I didn't like it in the list format with the name: value format as display HTML could be text to an image and that format would throw a custom display off.

$definition.getFormattedValue($value)|raw

I'll give this a shot. Thanks!
