Email Obfuscation module for email addresses with 64 base crypting

This module finds all plaintext emails and email links from the document and replaces them with noscript elements with configurable replace text. All the addresses are encoded to 64 base strings and stored in noscript data attributes. Then on client side we decode these strings back to their original state.


Install this module using standard install procedure in ProcessWire.

composer require blowback/emailobfuscation

After install you can find some configurable options on module admin page.

Transliterable text string used as a replace to obfuscated email address.

There is three modes available for this module to handle obfuscation.

  1. Obfuscate manually by using $sanitizer->emo($str) method.
  2. Obfuscate automatically at selected templates/pages.
  3. Obfuscate automatically but exclude selected templates/pages (default).
  1. Load file manually.
  2. Load file to $config->scripts array.
  3. Append automatically to page as external script (default).
  4. Append automatically to page as inline script.

By enabling force mailto option all email addresses are rendered as mailto links regardless of their original state.

When enabled encryption key is locked and does not change. By default encryption key updates on every session. Fixed key is required when you cache obfuscated AJAX output for more than session lifetime.

Appends debug data to HTML and console output.
