Email Cloaking Plugin

This is an update to the default email cloaking plugin provided by Joomla 1.5. Protect your email from abuse while helping to digitize books! This plugin is meant to replace the default joomla email cloaking plugin to give it an additional option for reCAPTCHA protection.


without protection, you risk robots harvesting your email and inundating your inbox with spam
reCAPTCHA is effective against spam robots because it uses text which OCR has trouble reading
reCAPTCHA does not require javascript
Since the text is from actual books which are being digitized, reCAPTCHA essentially provides thousands of hours of free labor each day to help digitize books

To install this plugin, you must first uninstall the default joomla cloaking plugin (backup first!). otherwise you will get an error during install.

PLEASE SEE WEBSITE FOR DEMO AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION

Works great, as described and because don't use javascript it make disappear some conflicts I had with ajax.

I would like to suggest that the captcha it's loaded in the same site, with Ajax and some modale window, any external options confuse users.

Great, thanks!

i am almost satisfy because it is complicated to install : you must desactivate and uninstal the other one.
You should rename it ! so, both will runs !

and it doesn't catch email in footer copyright content.

but it works perfecly in recent joomla (1.5.15 by example)

MailHide makes your email look like tsc...@gmail.com, but this plugin doesn't do that. I'm using K2 and my email still shows in full.

And FYI the demo site you have shows the full email.
