Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
NOTE: this plugin is targeted to advanced users and professionals – it requires some configuration tasks and won’t work out-of-the-box!
The plugin is used to display Email addresses as an image – automatically.
This will stop harvesters and crawlers from gathering sensitive data from your website.
It works with emails, telephone numbers, postal addresses or any other text-content.
com[/email] – that’s it.
Or use the Autodetect filter to transform every E-Mail-Address on your page automatically into an image!

Security Modes
Cryptex provides various obfuscation modes for E-Mail-Addresses:
Plain Text – only text-transformations are applied – no use of images
Single Image – the e-mail-address is expressed as a single image
Multipart Image – the e-mail-address is splitted into two images, seperated by the @-sign in plain text
Advanced Multipart Image – the craziest one: each part (divided by dot’s and @ sign) is displayed as a seperate image, the dividers as plain text
