[Plugin: emObA – Email Obfuscator Advanced] Paths to glyphs incorrect

    Using emoba 1.3 with WP 2.9.1 the paths to the glyph images seem to be based on the filesystem path instead of the server path. This is probably fine for most but our filesystem is split up across multiple servers and its causing issues as seen here:

    HTML output:

    <span id="emoba-5329"><span class="emoba-em">gnomes<img src="https://www.example.com/html/wp-content/plugins/mnt/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/at-glyph.gif"  alt="at"  class="emoba-glyph" />underpants<img src="https://www.example.com/html/wp-content/plugins/mnt/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/dot-glyph.gif" alt="dot" class="emoba-glyph" />com</span></span>
<script type="text/javascript">
  var mailtostring = 'mailto:';
  var mailNode = document.getElementById('emoba-5329');
  var linkNode = document.createElement('a');
  linkNode.title = 'Send email';
  linkNode.id = 'emoba-5329';
  var mailtolink = mailtostring + "%67%6E%6F%6D%65%73%40%75%6E%64%65%72%70%61%6E%74%73%2E%63%6F%6D";
  linkNode.href = mailtolink;
  var tNode = document.createElement('span');
  tNode.innerHTML = '<span class="emoba-em">gnomes<img src="https://www.example.com/html/wp-content/plugins/mnt/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/at-glyph.gif"  alt="at"  class="emoba-glyph" />underpants<img src="https://www.example.com/html/wp-content/plugins/mnt/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/dot-glyph.gif" alt="dot" class="emoba-glyph" />com</span>';
  linkNode.appendChild(tNode);
  mailNode.parentNode.replaceChild(linkNode, mailNode);
</script>

    /mnt/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/ is the location on disk where the plugin resides.

    /html/wp-content/plugins/emoba-email-obfuscator-advanced/ is the relative server path to the plugin.

    You don’t say what is the text source that emObA is converting, so I have no idea which branch of the program is being called, or what other difficulties might be activated.

    Also, you don’t describe the multiple-server arrangement of files. However, I rather doubt your guess as to what the problem is. In emoba.php, the relevant code is
    <img src="' . plugin_dir_url(__FILE__) . 'at-glyph.gif" alt="at" class="emoba-glyph" />'
    According to the source documentation for plugin_dir_url(param),

    param: string $file The filename of the plugin (__FILE__)
    return: string the URL path of the directory that contains the plugin

    Note that the code does not involve plugin_dir_path(__FILE__), which would return the “filesystem path of the directory that contains the plugin” — only this would return a value “based on the filesystem path instead of the server path”

    I think the problem lies elsewhere, or plugin_dir_url (rather, plugins_url() ) doesn’t work for your multiple-server setup.

    I suggest that to fix this for yourself, you hard-code the appropriate path into lines 63 and 64 of emoba.php (and watch out for this when upgrading). But if you don’t want to do this, then you would need to review the coding of plugins_url() to see if something can be done to make it work for your setup, and let me know.
