UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods [UBBT 6.0] Profile Email protection from Spam Bots

This small hack will protect member's "Fake Email" from spam bots by hiding the mailto address in javascript.

In your showprofile.php script find this:

code:
 
// ----------------------------- 
// Show the profile if it exists 
   $columns = 2; 
   if ($CheckUser) { 

---

and change it to this:

code:
 
// ----------------------------- 
// Show the profile if it exists 
   $columns = 2; 
   if ($CheckUser) { 
 
      if ($Fakeemail) { 
         $FakeEmailArray = split("@",$Fakeemail); 
         $MailName = $FakeEmailArray[0]; 
         $MailAddy = $FakeEmailArray[1]; 
         $EmailJavaPrint = "<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> var MailName = '$MailName'; var MailAddy = '$MailAddy';document.write('<a href="mailto:'+MailName+'@'+MailAddy+'">'+MailName+'@'+MailAddy+'</a>');</script>"; 
      } 
      else { 
         $EmailJavaPrint = ""; 
      } 

---

Now in your showprofile.tmpl template file find this:

code:
 
<a href="mailto:$Fakeemail">$Fakeemail</a> 

---

and change it to this:

code:
 
$EmailJavaPrint 

---

As far as I know spam bots have no ability to read text dynamicly created with javascript. This will keep the member's email hidden from them and those users with javascript disabled. LoL
