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

There's no link with the image.

This works poorly with 3.5.x because of Ajax. Also, I was hoping it would detect all e-mail addresses, not just ones with [ email][ /email].

its pertty fine.

/me klikcs Install..

Can i present some new idea for this nice hack..
as it change the email id..its working nicely with vb3.5.3 .it change to .png
image...any tips that can modify it...looks more grate?

can it change all the posted urls/links too(anything customizeable that it will be viewble or not or user group permission)..only the authoriesd will not be change...

Thankx....

It works for me...

Sorta...

When I post a thread, it shows up and works fine.. However... The first time I did it, I tested it and upon seeing it work, replied to the thread immediately and it basically deleted the thread and said it could find the thread specified.. That was using quick reply or a reply form.. I have the prevent doubleposting hack. Could that be causing it?

Still baffling why this would delete the thread...

this work in 3.5.3? also in FireFox maybe?? pls reply!

[srpompon]

friends,
in 3.5.3 + firefox work great.

but in the ajax Shoutbox (the code from zero tolerance) dont work, show "invalid hash" into the ajax window.. anyone know a fix for this?

[dead7]

Is there a way I can remove or possibly fix the system so i dont get "invalid hash" when people put their email in their classified ads?

I'm running photopost classifieds, and its integrated great with VB, except sometimes when ppl use an email addy in their ad, instead of the image of the email, it just shows an image saying "Invalid Hash".

Any ideas? I realize you may not support the classifieds and that is fine, but im curious how i can apply the hack so it indeed doesn't apply to the classifieds if need be.

Thank you.

Perfect! Thx!

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.

What's the problem with this method?

[Cyburbia]

Sorry. It's broken in 3.6.
