Overview
Link to extension
Obfuscates email addresses in the source, but presents a valid address to user.
This extension is designed to protect email addresses from harvesting by spambots, through obfuscation. It then uses jQuery to clarify the email address, presenting a valid email address to the user (optionally in a mailto: link).

Documentation

Requirements

Yii 1.0.11 or above

Installation

• Extract the release file under `protected/extensions`
  
• Add the class as a component in your application's main.php config file:

'components'=>array(
  ...
  'obfuscator'=>array(
    'class' =>'application.extensions.obfuscator.Obfuscator',
  ),
  ...
),

Usage

The class has a single public function: disguise(). This function takes 2 parameters:

• $email (string): The email address to be obfuscated
  
• $link (bool): Whether the email address should be displayed to the user as a mailto link - default is 'true'

Wherever you want an email address displayed, call the disguise function according to the following examples:

With a mailto link:

echo Yii::app()->obfuscator->disguise('user@example.com',true);

Without a link:

echo Yii::app()->obfuscator->disguise('user@example.com',false);
