Awww yeah

Posted on October 10th, 2007 | by Billifer | , , , , ,

WordPress So my plugin that I wrote, the eMob email obfuscator to help deter spambots from harvesting email addresses from WordPress-powered blogs, is now officially live at the WordPress plugins directory.

For any of you running WP, feel free to download it, take it for a spin, and leave me some feedback. (I’m looking at you, Burnaby T. Wallace.)

I still have a few enhancements I’d like to add, and I’ve also written the Skin Tags plugin (bad name, simple and effective plugin), which will soon be in the WP Plugins directory. For now, though, it’s fullspeed ahead with other things.  ⌘

    Hi;

    I installed to plug-in and this is what I got:Fatal error: Call to undefined function: str_ireplace() in /data/11/0/160/124/812124/user/833285/htdocs/coachingmoment/wp-content/plugins/emob-email-obfuscator/emob.php on line 22

    {{{ Hi Steve,

    @str_ireplace@ is a function in PHP 5. I’ll rewrite this to use only functions available in PHP 4, so that those who are using PHP 4 can still use the plugin.

    Look for an updated version in a couple of hours.

    Thanks!

    Your email obfuscater worked well for us with WordPress 2.0.3, but as soon as I upgraded to 2.5.1 it developed a major problem. Seems it handles the first email address on a page just fine, but subsequent addresses appear in the source code as <a href=''>.

    Have you tested it in 2.5.1? If so and it worked for you, what might I have done to break it?

    Thanks -

    @Bill Hayes: I haven’t personally tested it with 2.5.1. I developed it on 2.5-bleeding, though, and it worked for me fine at that point. I’ll take a look through in the next day or two and see what I can come up with that might be the issue. It’s actually quite a simple plug-in, so there shouldn’t be much that is interfering with its proper functioning.
