E-mail cloaking not possible under 3rd party components in Joomla 4?

Post by Kljuc » Mon Jan 23, 2023 5:00 pm

Hello,

I use Joomla 4 and build the pages with SP Page Builder 3x and Helix Ultimate template.
The email cloaking works only in Joomla articles and modules.

How can I also cloak the email address under Helix and Sp Page Builder ?
Does anyone have any idea ?

I have searched for extensions but unfortunately found nothing that works with Joomla 4.... already looking for a solution for days.

Welcome to Joomla forum!

The email cloaking plugin is a Content Plugin. That means that the plugin is triggered by events that start with "onContent", see: https://docs.joomla.org/Plugin/Events/Content
You can use the email cloaking plugin in non-core components or modules when those also trigger those events.

If those non-core extensions don't listen to the Content Plugin events, then you cannot use Content Plugins. Some 3rd party extensions have their own events. A programmer can program a plugin that listens to such events.

Finally, System Plugins are always triggered, so if the 3rd party extensions don't have any events, then you might be able to solve it with a custom System Plugin.
