Form Captcha and Spam Checker

(Tbaatar) #1

Hi,

 

I noticed the custom form in Matrix 4.18.2 comes with various new captcha and spam preventation tools.

 

I was wondering how you go about setting up the Honeypot solution? The documentation hardly covers how to set it up apart from stating what it is.

 

Where do you actually input the question and and answer within the given fields below?

 

Field Name     Field Id    
Field Class    
Error Message

 

 

Many thanks.

The manuals state that you need to use the %form_honeypot_field% keyword to print the field on the front end. Then you use CSS or JS to hide the field from view from the user. This means that regular "human" users won't see it and won't fill it out, but spam bots will.

 

Does that help?

Yes, I understand what needs to be done, however where do you create the dummy question for the user to answer?

On the form contents screen of the custom form.
