A simple KSS component for hiding email addreses from spammers.
Project description
This document describes the zest.emailhider package.
Dependencies
This package does not rely on other packages.
Overview
This package provides a mechanism to hide email addresses with KSS. Objects display a placeholder link with a ‘hidden-email’ class and a ‘uid’ kss attribute set to the UID of a user; a KSS click action is bound to the link which replaces it with a ‘mailto’ link directed at the email address of the user. Using this mechanism the email address isn’t visible in the initial page load, and it requires JavaScript to be seen - so it’s much harder for spammers to harvest.
Object are marked with the IMailable interface - this states that they can provide uid and email attributes. The ‘emailhider’ view is provided to generate the placeholder link.
Note: For publicly viewable email address, KSS must be made publicly accessible. History of zest.emailhider package ==================================
