[edit] What can this extension do?
This extension turns text between <email> and </email> tags into an image of the text, so you can embed email addresses in your wiki without having them harvested by spammers. The address will not be clickable or copy/pastable; users will have to copy it by hand into a mail.
[edit] Usage
The email address must be specified in this tag format: <email>user@domain.com</email>. The code verifies that the text between the tags looks like an email address to prevent HTML/XSS injection.
[edit] Installation
Copy the files from SVN into $IP/extensions/EmailAddressImage/, then add the include to your LocalSettings.php.
Note that the code assumes you're placing the code files into $IP/extensions/EmailAddressImage/. If you place them elsewhere, you must modify the URL generated in the code to match.
[edit] Changes to LocalSettings.php
require_once("extensions/EmailAddressImage/EmailAddressImage.php");
[edit] See also
There's also Extension:EmailObfuscator which turns an email address into obfuscated HTML. That extension is lighter weight, but spammers can defeat it with little effort.
