Spam prevention

reidthaler · 2014-11-04 02:41:18

I'm getting a consistent amount of spam. I'm tired of it. Been going on for months.

Is there an easy way to integrate a captcha, which we all hate? Some are so hard, I give on a site. I would like to implement an image based one using my images, but open to solutions that integrate easily on my site and doesn't look like either a Mensa or nursery school test.

Thanks,

Reid

try doing a forum search. Someone awhile back mentioned implementing the google recaptcha plugin on his CE4 contact page.

Getting spam where? The CE4 Pages contact form, or someplace else?

CE3 contact form. I haven't upgraded to CE4 yet. Does CE4 have some anti spam feature?

Can you refer me to a page to see the difference between CE3 and CE4. Does CE4 offer responsive design that fills the screen like http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014 … v=top-news

for CE3 contact page I think you'd need to use the Pro version of Form To Email.
CE4 doesn't use Form To Email, it uses something Ben and Matt cooked up.

I didn't see a contact form on the page you linked to. But in CE4 the contact form lives in the Contact Page's sidebar. the contact form width looks like it's set to a maximum of 6/12 columns.
Everything TTG is responsive.
I've got a contact form on my test site here: http://ce4.barbeephoto.com/contact.php
I've set it to be 4/12 columns wide. You can resize to the browser to test responsiveness.
And of course, the CE4 User's Showcase has several sites you can look at

We haven't had any reported issues of spam using the CE4 Pages contact form.

For CE3, you will need to look to Form-to-Email for spam prevention measures. The relevant support area is here:
http://formtoemail.com/developersupport/

It's these sorts of issues that have prompted us to move away from using Form-to-Email in CE4, and to implement mail functions of our own.

CE4 Client Response Gallery will also be abandoning Form-to-Email when it releases later this year.

Sounds great! reason to upgrade right there!

So far I haven't received any spam via the CE4 contact form. With CE3, I got several emails a day. Hopefully it will stay like that!
