trac should have an option to obscure all email addresses

[anonymous]

Currently if you add an email address to a ticket's cc, it will be publicly displayed on the webpage. It would be nice if there were a way to obscure this to prevent the addresses from being harvested by spammers. I've attached a prototype to demonstrate the functionality I'd like, but it's not well integrated with the rest of the system.

Thanks!

Thanks, that was one of the missing pieces for #153.

I still hope that we would provide flexible renderers for ticket fields, but in the meantime, this should be a start.

(to be done after the WorkFlow merge)

Updated the CC: rendering patch that eblot posted on #1459, which adds e-mail obfuscation (#153 style)

[eblot]

Combination of both patches

[eblot]

I've combined both patches in one file, but I should say that I'm a bit skeptical about the cc address obfuscation:

We can hide the domain in the CC field of the ticket property box, but we cannot do the same in the CC: text field: email addresses appear with the FQDN, and we cannot mask the domain here.

[cboos]

Wait, why don't you use format_author like shown in attachment:1459.diff​? (that function takes into account the EMAIL_VIEW permission).

Then, for the CC: text field, we could go one little step further and only show it in full for TICKET_ADMINs and have a checkbox: [ ] Add me to CC or [ ] Remove me from CC depending if the current e-mail address if found or not in the field. No datamodel change for that, so this is not really the plan for #1459 but more a workaround for being able to correctly hide the e-mails.

[eblot]

I guess we both are not refering to the same patch: none of the patches described here contain format_author.

Maybe attachment:ticket:153:privacy-r4476.diff​ is the right candidate?

[cboos]

That patch on #153 (or similar) is applied since a long time; no I really meant attachment:1459.diff​, my slightly modified version of your patch attached here.

[cboos]

I'm refactoring a bit the ticket system so that the fields would be rendered in the template in a way similar to browser properties. So this feature will be better done inside the web_ui not in the template.

Done in r5485 (FieldRefactoring branch)

see also #5378 for ajax support.

Nearly there in trunk with r5812 and r5813.

Actually, r5812 was about the display of CC: changes in the HTML Change History and in the RSS view of the ticket, not yet when showing changes between arbitrary versions of the Ticket (i.e. the ticket diff view).

Finalized in r5814.
