Does anyone have a page type they can post up that has a contact form that has some form of spam protection on it?
I know you can easily enable the math protection to comments on pages, but not for a CMS-generated form.
If anyone has anything that gets around spam problems with forms created in the CMS, that would be great if you could share =)
I use this on all my sites. Not the sexiest thing in the world, but it works.

'SuccessMessage' => 'HTMLText'

{
$f = parent::getCMSFields();
$f->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Success Message", new HTMLEditorField('SuccessMessage','Success message (to be displayed after a user submits the form'));
return $f;
}

Have tried to get it to work, but there is an error when it tries to send out the email. Do i need to change anything else here:
$email = new Email();
$email->to = 'noreply@beautyworx.co.nz';
$email->subject = 'Beautyworx: Contact Form';
$email->from = !empty($data['Email']) ? $data['Email'] : 'noreply@beautyworx.co.nz';
$email->ss_template = "ContactPageEmail";
$email->populateTemplate($data);
$email->send();
Director::redirect($this->Link('success'));Am getting the following error:
FATAL ERROR: Missing argument 1 for Email::__construct(), called in /home/duplico/beautyworx/dev/beautyworx/code/ContactPage.php on line 48 and defined
At line 52 in /home/duplico/beautyworx/dev/sapphire/core/Email.phpThink it might have something to do with it not passing the forms details to the template and hence thinking the from field is blank, because if I change
$email->from = !empty($data['Email']) ? $data['Email'] : 'webmaster@mysite.com';to
$email->from = 'webmaster@mysite.com';it sends it - but then the contents of the email I get are empty - as if the template sending the email isnt getting the data correctly
Hi all,
Can anyone please help me. how to view the contact form after putting the code :-(
Hello Suganya
Make sure you rebuild (dev/build) the database, and flush the cache. ie flush=all,
