Re: yab_email (simple obfuscate/defuscate email adresses, jQuery based)
Thanks Trenc … but why can’t I see an obfuscated email address? The answer is (of course) because the script defuscating the address also … isn’t it?
So it is.
The tag itselfs is calling some PHP functions. These will obfuscate your mail and create the mailto-link. The result you can see in your HTML source code of your website (btw. it is a really nice clean layout and design).
It’s a link with the class yab-email-link and every char in your mail address is replaced with its HTML entity. Some mail harvester can’t read these entities. Additonally the @ char is replaced by a (%20at%20). The %20 were escaped whitespaces für HTML validity.
The JavaScript in your browser then replace the (%20at%20) back to a normal @. So the browser renders the link normally and it looks familiar.
Due mail harvesters are really simple and don’t understand JavaScript the harvesters will only see the obfuscated mail address. In case of e.g name@example.com the harvester will see the source code:
name(%20at%20)example.comAn browser with JavaSript disabled and some »render-abled« harvester will render:
name( at )example.comAnd a browser with JavaScript enabled will see the correct mail:
name@example.comHope that helps,
trenc

Re: yab_email (simple obfuscate/defuscate email adresses, jQuery based)
I need to obfuscate an email address in a section of my site.
Anyway, cause I need to have this address:
mysite.it/privacy
and not this:
mysite.it/privacy/name_of_the_article_talking_about_the_privacy_policy
I have to write the article in the page itself, without using the normal method (create article).
In this way I can’t use the plugin tag.
So, can you help me to obfuscate the mail without the plugin but directly with an HTML code? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi candyman,
you can use the plugin in an article or a form or a page. It doesn’t matter. Plugin tags can be used everywhere, when activated in preferences.
