Getting the webmaster's email from a code hack

Hello,

I am writing a custom hack (a separate php file adopted from sendtofriend.php) and I would like to be able to access the Webmaster's email from the "Vbulletin Options" area in the admin cp. What is the variable for this?

Thanks for the tip.

What I am writing is a hack to convert all email addresses posted on the forum into a link to a sendmail form. I am hoping this will avoid those email addresses from being harvested. Currently I simply change the address from

name@domain.com into name @ domain . com do you think this is enough to fool the harvester?

If you are using global.php, $webmasteremail will be defined.

Probably not, the harvesters are getting smarter. :(

ok I suppose user at domain dot com has also been included in their algorithm?

Any suggestions? Perhaps just simply "click here to send email" would be a sure fire way but I'd still like to be able to tell people what the real email address is in case if they want to add it to their addr book etc.

What do you think?

I will try webmasteremail thanks :) so simple when you know it.

How about an input button? I'll post the code in a bit.

Use

PHP Code:


		
			
<input type="button" value="$email" onClick="parent.location='mailto:$email'">

and replace $email with whatever the email addresses are (the vars for them).

wouldn't that get parsed by the harvester too ? They simply search for the email@pattern.com and won't care whether it is in js, html tag or plain text I think

Hmm true.

You can obfuscate the email addresses using JavaScript, I wrote a script to do that a while ago but I can't find it :confused:

I think I wrote it before I knew how to use CVS :(

Wrote it again :confused:

PHP Code:


		
			
// $Id: obfuscate_emails.php,v 1.4 2003/06/18 17:59:08 alex Exp $



function make_mail_link($title, $address) {

  $address = strval($address);

  $len = strlen($address);

  

  $obfuscated_address = '';

  for($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {

    $obfuscated_address .= '&#' . ord($address[$i]) . ';';

  }

  

  return('<script language="JavaScript">' .

  "\n<!--" .

  "\ndocument.write('<a href=\"ma' + 'il' + 'to' + ':'" .

  "\n + unescape('" . urlencode($obfuscated_address) . "')" .

  "\n + '\">' + '" . htmlentities($title) . "' + '</a>');" .

  "\n// -->\n</script>"); 

}

Just use echo make_mail_link('title of link', 'email@address.com');

edit: I could make this into a hack that obfuscates all [email] bbcode... :D

I'm sure a lot of people would like that - give it a try! :)
