CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi

I have found a tag and a module to scramble email-adresses in order to avoid spam.
But I am a beginner - and do not know how to implement the code?
I guess it is easy - and hope someone will tell me how.
And btw: do they in fact prevent spam???

Email 1.1  http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/email/

or

Javascript Spam Protection  http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/spamprotection/

Yours, elin

ps: i didn't know whether to post this in general help or modules???

It might be easier just to use the php obfuscation method:

{mailto address='email@host.com' encode='hex'}

Yes - but I read that it didn't give real protection???

Where did you read that? Of course, all kinds of E-mail encoding can be cracked - they just make it harder for spiders to collect the addresses from your site.

Smarty's mailto function has several encoding methods,
encode="javascript" is probably the most thorough form of encoding.

If you want to avoid spam I'd suggest not mentioning an E-mail address, but putting up a contact form (with Captcha protection).

encode="javascript" - I will try to find out how. Thanks a lot.
