I like that EE automatically turns URLs and email addresses into real links. But I hate the javascript encoding of the email addresses. It keeps breaking things (like when an event is exported to iCal format, etc., where javascript may not be in use). How can I keep the auto-linking but disable auto-obfuscation?

Hi hotknife,

I scoured the Control Panel, but just to make sure, I pinged our developers as well… At this time, there is no way to disable that feature. I invite you to make a Feature Request to allow for email addresses to be presented in an un-encoded format. Is there anything else we can assist you with?

Thanks!

Thanks for checking.

hotknife,

I’m not sure if this will help, but you could also check out safe encode.

There documentation link for this extension is broken. It seems like it should be perfect for fixing my JSON strings, but I just can’t figure out how to use it!

Despite enabling this extension, the following template tag still outputs the same JS-obfuscated string:

{encode="[email protected]"}

...similar to hotknife’s question: is there a way to completely strip any obfuscation and linking at the template level? I know that you can turn off automatic encoding more systematically, but I’d like to do this only for templates that return JSON.

Matt Stein,

Unfortunately that’s not possible at this time. If you have the PHP skills you could see try creating an addon to accomplish this.
