Is there anyway that webmasters can set set all the email address disabled for view. Or aleast encode them so that pyring eyes dont peak up them.

"Necesity is mother of invention"

Here is the solution about how to secure members email address.

1. Open userinfo.php in root directory
2. search for this line
$xoopsTpl->assign('user_email', $thisUser->getVar('email', 'E'));

Replace it with these two lines
$false_mail = preg_replace("/@.+$/","@somemail.com", $thisUser->getVar('email','E'));
$xoopsTpl->assign('user_email', $false_mail);

Pardon my ignorance, but what will inserting those two lines do? Mask out the address for spiders, or mask them out for anyone looking at the members info?
