Plugin Requested | Encode Email Addresses
Heya all,

I'm looking for a plugin (and will gladly pay for it! Wink ) for both GForum and LinksSQL that effectively encodes a fields like this:

http://www.wbwip.com/wbw/emailencoder.html

Would be good if it was possible to select the fields you want encoded in the plugin, it will ususally be email address fields, and simply return the Character Entities when the page is built instead of the actual address.

I'm declaring war on spambots that harvest my site for addresses and then load my GMail application with all their junk.

Any takers? Smile

You could probably do it with a global;

<%global_name($Contact_Email)%>

Code:
sub {

my $in = $_[0];
my $strings = q|
a~097
b~098
c~099
d~100
e~101
f~102
g~103
h~104
i~105
j~106
k~107
l~108
m~109
n~110
o~111
p~112
q~113
r~114
s~115
t~116
u~117
v~118
w~119
x~120
y~121
z~122
1~049
2~050
3~051
4~052
5~053
6~054
7~055
8~056
9~057
0~048
&~038
~032
_~095
-~045
@~064
.~046
|;

my $back;
my @address = split //, $in; # cut the email address up into each charachter...
my @strings = split /\n/, $strings;

foreach (@address) {

my $next;

foreach my $s (@strings) {

$s =~ s/\s$//g;

next if $next == 1;

my ($char,$equiv) = split /~/, $s; # get the charachter, and its numerical equiv

if ($char eq $_) {
$char =~ s/\Q$char/$equiv/i;
$char = '&#' . $char . ';';
$back .= $char; # add the new replacement to $back
$next = 1;
}

}

}

return $back;

}

I just gave it a quick test on my site, and it seems to work ok :)

Cheers

Andy,

Thanks a lot. It's getting there.... Seems like we have to add the codes for all upper case letters as well though. As it is it just throws them away. Smile

I also found a reply to this previous post. Not sure how to call this global, but it looks like a neat solution if that's all that's needed to make it work.

Mmm.. it shouldn't do Unsure (should just replace everything in lowercase).

Should be a simple fix though ;)

$in = $_[0];

...to

$in = lc($_[0]);

Re: [Andy] Plugin Requested | Encode Email Addresses In reply to
Thanks! That should work for email addresses. It forces everything to small letters. Would be a problem if you decided to encode any other field, for example signatures in the forum which may hold text and an email address.

Will this also encode characters like: ê ?

Afraid not.

Yeah, I guess the only way to get all the charachters changed over, would be to use something like HTML::Entity (if we could get it to work Frown), so similar.

Andy,

I've added some upper case and special characters to your global. It's still not all of them but includes most except the "really weird" ones.

Would still like to see the other option in action. Smile

Code:

my $in = $_[0];
my $strings = q|

Hello Andy,

I test your Global.
I use the code on your site...

But, I have a problem.

It does not code the email correctly.

For example for name@serveur.com

It gives:
n%20;a%20;m%20;e%20;@s%20;e%20;r%20;v%20;e%20;u%20;r%20;.%20;c%20;o%20;m%20;

You have an idea ?

Thank you.

Are you using the code from the post just above your's?

It should change charachters to;

&#100

(with the 100 being the equivelant code).

Cheers

Mick,

I'm using the code just above (my last post) on several places, in both GForm and LinksSQL on my site and it works great. As Andy, says... you may want to show us the full global you're using and also all the output. Smile

Ah, I think I see the problem. Try changing;

Code:
if ($char eq $_) {
$equiv =~ s|\s+$||g;
$char =~ s/\Q$char/$equiv/i;
$char = '&#' . $char . ';';
$back .= $char;
$next = 1;
}

Does that work now?
