Hello all!
Can you help me solve a little mistery?
I need to add email addresses in the contact page of my portal and in order to prevent email harvester bots from using them, I'd like to offuscate them a bit.
I know there isn't a perfect method but among all, I chose to use a simple javascript code that simply concatenates the different parts of an email address (not really sure on how much it is effective, the email address is shown properly in the page, but in the code it's inside a JS tag).
Anyway this is beyond liferay's scope, my mistery is related to some email addresses added in the normal way with liferay (in the web content display you write "contact us", then select the link icon, choose email, insert email address and maybe a subject).
These emails, added several months ago by my editor, are shown within a javascript code that use the String.fromCharCode function to encode the email address.
This is very cool, if only I understood how it got there
If I add emails this way, I can see the email address in plain text in html code, and my editor claims she added those emails in the same way....
So, is Liferay adding some protection afterwards?
what's happening?

as far as I understood, the email link is part of the WYSIWYG editor and the default for liferay is ckeditor, so maybe this lack of javascript protection for emails depends on the new editor version.
I've read I can change the editor or part of it in the portal settings, but when I tried I couldn't see any difference!
these are the properties I've tried to change:
editor.wysiwyg.portal-web.docroot.html.portlet.mail.edit.jsp=ckeditor
editor.wysiwyg.portal-web.docroot.html.portlet.mail.edit_message.jsp=ckeditor
with all the available editors (ckeditor, fckeditor, liferay, simple, tinymce, or tinymcesimple)
any info on that?
(I know, I'm just replying to myself, but who knows! maybe someone will finally give me some information or maybe this thread can help someone else in the future)
