EMail Address Obfuscator v1.0.2

This will obfuscate email addresses in posts in order to prevent email harvesting. There are a couple of methods available:

• Image; the email will be displayed as an image, works quite well but not very user friendly.
• HTML Entities; every character in the email address will be replaced with it's html entity. This is not a great method, but it stops stupid harvestors.
• Javascript; the link will be written via javascript, works quite well and makes the link invisible for harvestors. But requires javascript to be enabled
• Custom; roll-your-own algorithm, can be easily set in the vbulletin options in the admincp

This plugin also partially strips the email addresses in the archive (the domain name is removed).

Update 1.0.1
* [fixed] wysiwyg code isn't screwed up anymore
* [added] added support to select the font to use (builtin fonts, GD bitmap fonts or TTF fonts)

Update 1.0.2
* [fixed] fatal error when rebuilding postcache
* [fixed] invalid hash when quickposting\editing via AJAX
* [changed] the image tags now use the CSS class "inlineimg" that aligns them vertical center

no you can't, at least not yet, currently it uses the colors from the currently selected style

I like the update, thanks

For my personal preference, I didn't like the alignment of the image against the text of the message. I made the following modification so the image is aligned with the middle of the text instead of the bottom.

The Change:

PHP Code:

$res .= "<img src="?emailimage=".$hash."" alt="[email address]" />"; 


to:

PHP Code:

$res .= "<img src="?emailimage=".$hash."" alt="[email address]" align="absmiddle" />"; 


This looks better when using font size 3 with my current style. Someone else may find this useful.

I get the following error when i try to rebuld my cache

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: convertemailaddress() in /home/hamplex/public_html/includes/class_bbcode.php(377) : eval()'d code(11) : regexp code on line 1

hmm... looks like the cache rebuild thing never calls the global_start hook

this is kinda annoying, isn't there a super global start hook?

I installed it and got an "invalid hash" message, instead of the email address being converted. Any idea?

the email address (for the images) are stored in the database and the hash in the url is just it's identifier, it could happen that the image is requested before the hash table is stored in the database (I guess). I may have to change the way the hashes are stored in the database.
What browser are you using?

Not really, I have my own vbulletin forum and also manage the one at UnrealAdmin.org . Some of the hacks I made I already put in via the old file hacking way, but this plugin stuff is great and also allows me to easily share it with others.
