Cannot view contact link when access to user profiles is disabled, but access to contact form is enabled [#734706]

To fix, add

function access() {
return TRUE;
}

to views\modules\contact\views_handler_field_contact_link.inc

If users do not have access to an individual's contact form then render() will return empty string because of permission check there. As is, column is entirely missing which causes problems when displaying in table format.

The existing behavior is the intended behavior. how is it a bug that users are prevented from viewing items they do not have access to view?

Nope, this is a bug -- just the OP meant to say "If users do not have access to an individual's *PROFILE*".

Users without 'access user profiles' are still given access to the contact form tab, but they are blocked from seeing the contact form link views field because views_handler_field_contact_link inherits access from its parent.

Patch on Views 2/3, tested on 2 but not 3.

what about a return FALSE, this might make more sense.

Good point. Changed that and fixed that bit of whitespace.
