spam protection question
Started 15 years ago by susanfw | 6 posts |

I want spam protection, but don't like the look of reCAPTCHA. Is there anyway that I could setup a 'honeypot', perhaps using the Admin Only function, so that there is a hidden field that must be left blank, or else it won't submit?

Machform has 2 choices for anti-spam (captcha). Either the "Recaptcha" or the inbuilt captcha (just click the box to activate it in the form editor for a particular form),
You also need to set these options in your config.php (around line 41).
/** Set below to 'true' if you prefer to use the internal CAPTCHA implementation instead of reCAPTCHA **/
/** GD extension must be enabled in order to use this option **/
define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',true);
Note, this is for version 2 of machform - version 1.2 only has the "recaptcha" option.

Thanks Murray. I didn't know both were available. It certainly looks better than reCAPTCHA. I'd still prefer to go with the 'honeypot' method, if possible. But, if not, I can live with CAPTCHA.
Does anyone know if it's possible to create a 'honeypot'?

Sorry, no 'honeypot' feature is currently available.

Is there any update on whether the "honeypot" feature is available in MachForm? The rest of the features look great, but my use cases require a honeypot.

Sorry, we don't have any plan to add honeypot yet.
