Rendering: Encrypting E-Mail Output

Note

Encryption of e-mails for HTML5 output is now automatically included in the rendering of text attributes — see Github

E-mail addresses entered in Contao are output in encrypted form in the source code to make automatic harvesting of e-mail addresses more difficult.

MetaModels does not have a dedicated “e-mail attribute” for this option — but the feature can be quickly added with a customised template for a “Text” attribute.

All that is needed is to create and activate a special template for the rendering. Follow these steps:

• In the backend under “Templates”, create a template “mm_attr_text.html5”

• Rename the template to “mm_attr_text_email.html5”

• In the new template, add the source code
  <span class="text<?= $this->additional_class ?>">{{email::<?= $this->raw ?>}}</span>

• In the render settings of the corresponding text attribute, select the new template “mm_attr_text_email”
