Advanced eMail Obfuscation

[aeo]

Replaces the standard method of Contao to obfuscate email addresses

Advanced eMail Obfuscation

Contao always obfuscates e-mail addresses that are entered via the Rich Text Editor in articles by replacing the individual characters of the email address with their corresponding HTML entities.

Advanced Email obfuscation goes one step further. The text contained in the e-mail addresses will be protected by an (optional) ROT13 encryption so that SPAM bots are'nt able to read these addresses. Users who have JavaScript enabled can view the e-mail addressw without limitation, because the decryption is done by using JavaScript on the browser. Users without JavaScript enabled are redirected to an intermediate page with a confirmation prompt. After answering the security question they will see the orginal e-mail address.

The configuration of Advanced eMail Obfuscation is done at several points:

• Settings
  Advanced eMail Obfuscation could be configured in the settings 
• Module or Content Element
  A module or Content Element of type Advanced eMail Obfuscation can be created that serves the security form for users with JavaScript disabled as fallback to display the original email address.
