Spam protection on user generated forms
22 January 2008 at 4:01am
Did anyone happen to find / build a quick-fix to protect users from getting spammed through their self-made forms ? A customer is being killed by spam at the moment. Creating a custom-form is not an option in this case.
Thanks !

hm, we had good experiences with spam-protection through simple challenge fields ("what is four plus three?") - which means you'd have to subclass UserDefinedForm and implement your own Validator/RequiredFields (on the serverside).
other than that, have a look at http://recaptcha.net (same subclassing, but more complicated).
you can also open a request to have this implemented natively on open.silverstripe.com -

Thanks.
I think I'll go the simple challenge route. Oh , I also added a ticket. ;-)

Ingo,
I'm kinda stuck doing this. Do you happen to have an example of the class you mentioned laying around ? I can't figure out how to subclass the SS UserDefinedForm class to do my own stuff without breaking stuff. ;)
Thanks !

unfortunately not - there's some documentation at
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=validator and http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=recipes:formsuserdefinedforms are traditinionally hard to customize, you might want to consider implemeting a normal form-subclass.

Thanks..
I just can't figure out how to extend the userdefined form and get SS to work with it.
A custom form isn't really an option for my client..
Will keep trying. ;-)

Isn't the new module of any use somehow? (haven't looked into it yet, just saw it mentioned on the dev-list.

Hi Dio, Thanks...
Problem is I´m trying to integrate it on a User Defined Form... Can´t figure out how to do it.... Creating a custom form is not (yet) a solution ....
