Adding javascript to a Page.

    I am aware that there is a little bit of documentation surrounding this, but not enough.

    1. The website https://w2.syronex.com/jmr/safemailto/ is an awesome email anti-spam concept. They offer a free javascript code, to be inserted into a page, allowing a ‘mailto’ on your website, while stopping spambots from picking it up.

    2. I’ve looked at WP’s support page, for inserting javascript: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Using_Javascript#Javascript_in_Posts

    3. The problem is that the javascript does not work, once inserted into – in my case – my ‘contact me’ WordPress Page.

    4. I’ve spoken to the website’s support team, and their response is

    Here is what you need to put in your post:

    <script type=”text/javascript”
    src=”https://trashmedia.co.za/wp-content/themes/comicpress/spamblocker.js”></
    script>
    <script type=’text/javascript’><!–
    show();
    //–></script><noscript><a
    href=’https://w2.syronex.com/jmr/safemailto/#noscript’>Click here (guarded
    by anti-spam solution)</noscript>

    And this goes into spamblocker.js:

    function show(){
    var v2=”H8HCEH4Y4YGGT8SBHSUTPXA”;var
    v7=unescape(“%22%5D%3A%26%281t-F84/9%5D7+%29%7D6%3B%7E%22%20”);var
    v5=v2.length;var v1=””;for(var
    v4=0;v4<v5;v4++){v1+=String.fromCharCode(v2.charCodeAt(v4)^v7.charCodeAt(v4)
    );}document.write(‘<a href=”javascript:void(0)”
    onclick=”window.location=\’mail\u0074o\u003a’+v1+’?subject=Via%20the%20Trash
    %20Media%20website’+’\'”>’+’Click here<\/a>’);
    }

    ‘spamblocker.js’ is simply a text file that I created, and changing the extension to ‘.js’. I inserted the code he suggested above, and put it into the relevant directory.

    If you’re interested in seeing my domain, it is https://www.trashmedia.co.za.

    Can anybody help me with getting this to work?

    I’ve tried many things, and still can’t get it to work.

    Why would you want to add that to a post?

    Wouldn’t it make more sense to just add it to your theme instead?

    Perhaps your theme’s header or footer php file?

    Because it’s a ‘contact me’ Page. It will sit within the content of that page.

    And what would prevent you to make a special template for that Page with all that JS and after that create the contact Page using that template?

    Let me explain in a nutshell.

    When you insert a mailto in your contact page, it might look like this: [email protected].

    So, in the context of the contact page, it might look like this:

    Please contact me by emailing me at [email protected].

    The problem is that spambots search for open-ended mailtos like that, and then start spamming your address. What that website does, is offer a free javascript code that removes the mailto, and replaces it with a ‘click here’ mailto. Once clicked, a popup appears with an image verification prompt, followed by opening your email client.

    It’s simply a way to encrypt your mailto address. Here’s an active example: https://www.fascistamerica.net/ (click his ’email’ link.

    Now, I’m waiting for someone’s help…

    When you insert a mailto in your contact page…

    That’s a very bad idea, sorry. Nobody does that.

    Use a secure contact form.

    Ah come on… Someone MUST be able to help me out…?

    You’ve had two answers so far, both from the same guy. You’ve discarded both?!?

    Perhaps you had a question about one of the approaches Moshu has given you?

    i dont have time to answer (im out my door to work), but all the poor guy wants to do is add a little js to a post that results in a mailto link. Rather than tell him reasons why he shouldnt do it …

    A page template (see Pages) takes what, 30 seconds? Add javascript, done.

    A secure mailer negates the entire need for the javascript. Click link, install plugin. done.

    Or heck, a quick search would turn up a pile of posts all saying, “Turn off the WYSIWYG editor if you just gotta add javascript to posts”. (Users -> Your Profile. Bottom-most option, uncheck)
