TOPIC: email cloaking?

Is there already a simple way to cloak emails in comments?

Otherwise I am worried whether the emails that my guests share in forums will be picked up by spambots and other nasty stuff.

The code for finding emails is

function cloak_emails ($comment)
{
preg_match_all("/\b\w+\@\w+[\.\w+]+\b/", $comment, $email);

and the code for cloaking them in Joomla is

$emcloaked = JHTML::_('Email.cloak',$email);
echo $emcloaked;

I just don't know where and how I should insert them in compojoom
It would be reasonable to cloak them already while saving, so it would not run all the time when the comments are viewed.

In the template i'm creating I have some JavaScript that checks the E-Mail field to make sure it's in a valid format, it could be easily modified to string-replace any matching This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. text from tcomment field on submission.

Are regular expressions in PHP the same as JavaScript? Probably not... I'm still learning PHP

The email that the people write in the e-mail field is never visible on the site.

Do you want to clock e-mails in the content of the comment?

That's exactly what he wants I was giving an example of the JavaScript temail code from this template only, it could be used in the template JavaScript if LeFunk knew how I thought.

But yes, he just want's to get an idea of where to insert the code. I suppose in Beta2 it'd go somewhere in comment.class.php - in the function insertNewPost() or function editPost()...? Or is there a better place to put it?
