Hikari Email & URL Obfuscator

No, you don't. Hikari Email & URL Obfuscator plugin uses Wordpress hooks to filter links on the fly, it automatically finds all your links and obfuscate them for you, directly in your posts / comments / text widgets.

This is a dilemma I always have with plugins that I install and I feel in need to explicitly explaining it. No, Hikari Email & URL Obfuscator plugin does NOT touch your content database! Its filter runs in read time, AFTER your content is queried from database and before it is sent to your visitor. Your original content and your original links will remain untouched, and as soon as you deactivate the plugin your site will go back to what it was before it ever knew the plugin existed.

You can go to my sites at Hikari WebSite or Consciência Planetária and take a look, they use it. Verify its page source and how links look like with JavaScript disabled and then enabled.

Yes, it has custom parameters that are used as CSS classes, in the same way some microformats do. You can see a list of them, with description and exemples at Hikari Email & URL Obfuscator – Advanced Usage.

Yes, in the previous question I mensioned custom parameters. One of them is hkmuob_no_obfuscate, and when used the link won't be obfuscated.

No, links with your website URL and relative links (without http:// ) are not obfuscated.

If you wanna obfuscate emails and URLs that are our of these areas (in the theme templates or in another plugin for exemple), it's pretty easy.If you wanna obfuscate emails and URLs that are out of these areas (in the theme templates or in another plugin for exemple), it's pretty easy. First you prepare the content and store it in a string variable normally, let's say it is in $footerContent. Once you have the string, you verify if the plugin is activated by testing if its class HkMuob exists, and if so you grab it's object $hkMuob and call the method $hkMuob->filter($footerContent). It will return a string variable with your content already obfuscated and ready to be echoed. Attention! You must use the global object the plugin creates, because it has internal variabled that will be used in the page footer to interact with JavaScript, if you create another object it will not work! Here's a full exemple: <?php // first we repare our content with anything we want, and store it in a variable $footerContent = "I'm a neat content with links inside." . ' <a href="mailto:no.spam@spam.com" title="c\'mon mail me!" target="_blank" class="stylish-class">mail me</a>'; // if the class exists, then the plugin is availabe and we can use it to obfuscate any content // if not, then we just echo the original content without obfuscating if(class_exists('HkMuob')){ // class is available, let's get its global variable global $hkMuob; // now we ask the plugin to filter our content and add any found link to plugin's internal queue $footerContent = $hkMuob->filter($footerContent); // now $footerContent has the same content as before, but with obfuscated links } // whether or not we were able to obfuscate our links, let's print our neat content echo $footerContent; ?> You can see a more detailed explanation at Manually filtering other links Help! My link has a small text and large URL, and now it is breaking my layout! Oh man, it can happen for links with small texts in small places. Fortunately, there are a bunch of custom parameters that can help you tune up your links when JavaScript is disabled. Just take a look on the link referenced in previous questions and read about these custom parameters, you'll be able to do some interesting stuff with them :)
