Email Protector

Peter van Westen ADMIN

I will see if I will make Email Protector ready for Joomla 4 after the others are done. So even if I do do it, it will not be very soon.

I recommend you report this as an issue on the Joomla issue tracker.

All they really need to do is change the content plugin to a system plugin, and make the replacements on the final output HTML instead of the individual article texts.

But I am not the person that will do that in Joomla core...

I understand. Any clues what might need changing in your plugin to make it happen, general thoughts? I might tackle it here for this site honestly.

No, not sure what needs to get done to make it ready for Joomla 4. I haven't looked into Email Protector yet.

Hello Sir,

I am also very interested in you releasing a new version of the Email Protector for Joomla 4.

I recently updated from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4, using Helix Ultimate template. The email cloaking does not work with the content displayed by this template. It is ridiculous. It also didn't work before with Joomla 3. I was really grateful when I found your Email protector extension.

I kindly ask you to make a version for Joomla 4. Of course I would also pay for it. I do not see another reasonable solution to cloak the emails without deinstalling the Helix ultimate template.

Thank you and best regards!

Please try the latest development versions:
FREE: regularlabs.com/EmailProtector-v5.0.0-dev.zip
PRO: regularlabs.com/EmailProtector-v5.0.0-dev-PRO.zip

PS: So yes, the new version will have a Pro version. That means that some functionality in the Joomla 3 Free version will also be removed and only available in a Pro version.

Can you please test out the latest PRO dev version?
I have now added a feature to replace the email addresses with images.

Even if you don't plan to use that feature, can you check if it all works?

I tried it. It converts the email address into images, yes, but every part of the email address is being displayed among each other. Just have a look at the website, that I told you before.

What website is that? I don't see it mentioned in this thread...

This is caused by your template's CSS:

img {
    display: block;
    max-width: 100%;
    height: auto;
}

No idea why a template would set a display:block by default on all images. That prevents you to place images inline (which is default behavior in HTML).

Please try the new development version.
I added some inline styles to override that...

Hi guys,
what I do not understand here is if, as suggested, this issue has been reported in Joomla GitHub.
All what I can find is:
github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues?q=is...ck+email+is%3Aclosed

@Peter
finally, you developed the Joomla 4 version (thank you).

1 - I remember that during J4 migration you wrote that this plugin was not useful anymore because the new Joomla one was really good.
Please, What has caused your idea changing ?

2 - Can it run with all Extensions like Solidres, HikaShop, DPCalendar, Community Quiz... etc.?
And/or Is there anything we can check to be sure it is fully compatible?

I just suggested the issue should get reported. Seems like nobody did. Nobody claimed they did.

Answering your other 2 questions:
Yes, the Joomla core email cloaker has improved, making it less likely to break javascript and such.
However, it is still a content plugin. That means it only works in content specifically passed through the content plugins. That is only the case with some components and some modules. So the core email cloaking won't work in other components and modules. And not in email addresses you might place directly into the templates index.php file.

So that was the reason to port Email Protector to Joomla 4, as that DOES work in the entire HTML output of the site.

Hi Peter,
thank you for your detailed answer.

Is there any "technical" (performance) difference from running the plugin as system plugin instead of as content plugin ?

Is there something special that 3rd party Extension owners can do on their components to better work with your plugin ?
