Hey Tony,
I cannot post the actual CSV as it contains private data, but I will say that I found a workaround. I began appending my own anchor tags and linking the data in the CSV (instead of doing it via the templates). The only issue this presented is that if the anchor tag didn't look like
<a href="/url">anchor</a>
JEvents attempted to append anchor tags in the display. So if there were any spaces between href and =, or spaces between = and ", the output looked very wrong.
I assume JEvents does some regex searches for URLs and HTML to do its own customization?
Nevertheless, I fixed the issue by tinkering until everything went smoothly.
Thanks for the response, though.
