Clickable emails

Tuesday 26 July 2005 6:20:06 am

We needed all email addresses to display as clickable mailto-links, and thus instead of hunting around in each and every template we modified the wash function. It doesn't really "wash" anymore, but it was the easiest solution we could find. Since we thus lost the spam filter, we developed a new one as well.

If anyone's interested, here's the patch:

                                                       $atText ),
                                                $operatorValue );

+               // Remove the spam filter
+               $addr = str_replace('SPAMFILTER', '', strip_tags($operatorValue));
+
+               // Encode to ASCII to prevent spam (since we removed the old spam filter)
+               $mailto = "mailto:";
+
+               $encodedEmail = '';
+               for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($addr); $i++)
+                       $encodedEmail .= '&#' . ord(substr($addr, $i)) . ';';
+
+               $operatorValue = "<a href='" . $mailto . $encodedEmail . "'>" . $encodedEmail . "</a>";
+
+               // done!
+
              } break;
