Problem with parsed native WP function antispambot

Hi Scott 🙂 !

I have tried the last release (1.6.2) but the bug still exist. If I don’t call ‘add_filter’ everything works fine. But if I do it (like in the line bellow : `add_filter(‘the_content’,’search_and_replace_email’);
the_content();`

function search_and_replace_email ($string) {
$pattern = "/[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})/i";
	preg_match_all($pattern, $string, $matches);
	foreach ($matches[0] as $email)  {
		$string = str_replace($email, antispambot($email), $string);
	}
	$string = str_replace("mailto:", antispambot("mailto:"), $string);
	return $string;
}

<a href="http://domain.tld/contact/mailto:mail@domain.tld">mail@domain.tld</a>
I think that your function is “lost” as the antispambot is passed before and Simply Static think that it is a “standard” URL :(…

Any solution to protect email ?

TIA.

Hi Scott :).

Sorry I did not be clear enough… As I can’t use forms with static content, I use email addresses in my contact page as link like this: <a href="mailto:mymailaddress@mydomain.com">Contact me</a> but as I don’t want that spambots recovers easyly my emails addresses, I write a special function that parse the content and transform each email address it found by using the native WP function “antispambot”.
So, when SS parse my pages it see the email link that have been transformed by the native function of WP. An it is unable to realize that’s an email address, that the problem.
So I stop to use my function to protect links with “mailto” and everything is workin now.
What I ask to you is to do the job from the plugin. Exactly as I was doing it :).
So, as soon the plugin discover a link containing a “mailto” it call itself the native WP function “antispambot” and everybody will be happy, because emails addresses will be correctly protected :)!
As I said you in my last answer : Like, actually, we can’t use form (at least in an easy way), it will be a really cool feature to protect our email addresses ;).

I hope that this time I’ve been enough clear ;).

Hi Scott 🙂 !

The function I use to parse email addresses is in this thread :).
It search for email addresses in the content part (but I think you’ll have to adapt it to search everywhere) and call the native WP function antispambot for each address.

Happy to know that it will be implemented in a future release 🙂 !

Hi Scott 🙂 !

You’re kidding 🙂 ! No need for apology here, I will be really happy when you have added this functionnality 🙂 !

TIA.

Hi Scott 🙂 !

Sorry, but I’m really don’t sure of what I understand :)… My code wasn’t working because I used the antispambot before the generation of the static files from your plugin and BTW “loosing” it with the genrerated href. But if that’s your plugin who do the work during its browsing, I think that everything would be ok :). I suggest that you pass the “mailto:” and the email address to the spambot function to totally waste spambots ;).

TIA,

Amicably,

Pierre.

Hi Scott 🙂 !

I’m sorry, surely my fault as english is not my natural language :$… So, everything works very fine with your plugin. Forget what I ask you at the beginning of this thread because, before, I was doing some treatments to the content before SS parse the posts ; “loosing” it.
We will continue now, this discussion, ok?
I would like, simply, that you call the function ‘antispambot’ (from WP) during the generation of all the static pages. BTW all the email addresses will be “hidden” to spambots :).
I hope this time I managed to be clear enough :)…

I wish you a marvellous and delicious christmas and a happy new year in advance 🙂 !!

Hi Scott :)!

Great and cool regardless of the solution you adopt :)! I think that every user should be interested by the obfuscation of the email ;). But here to regardless of the option you will adopt I will be happy to use it :)! Perhaps just a checkbox in the settings should do the trick :).

TIA,

Once again, I wish you a marvellous and delicious christmas and a happy new year in advance Scott 🙂 !!
