How to prevent the 3CX chrome extension from making a number clickable

Question

At our company, we use chrome and have the 3CX chrome extension.

This extension is quite eager to transform any sequence of number into a clickable link to pass a phone call.

How to prevent the 3CX extension from converting sequences of numbers into clickable links on specific pages ?

So far we figured out that enclosing numbers in a <pre> or <code> tag does the trick. But we need something to disable 3CX as a whole on a webpage.

Does a special meta tag exists for this purpose ?

Answer 1

Try this

Admin Panel>Extensions>Click to Talk> untick the box labeled "Click2Talk"at the top of the page.

Answer 2

So I ran into the same problem my company uses 3cx extension, but it keeps modifying our page to add "click to call" links where it shouldn't.

I found this thread on the official forum which says that apparently they have no options to force the extension to ignore a specific website or field: https://www.3cx.com/community/threads/disable-the-chrome-extension-for-my-website.79302/

But on the bright side, I implemented a hack on my field to force the extension to ignore numbers on my string, I added zero-width space after each number like this:

str.split(/(\d+)/g).join('​<zero-width-space>​​​​​​​​​​​​');​​

the editor does not let me paste the code for the zero-width space, it can be acquired here: https://codepen.io/chriscoyier/pen/AwVNjg%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8B
