Captcha v2

[Lasa]

I've set up Captcha 2V on a Web Builder Form.
Still getting spam so I want to up the WB restrictions.
In advance form processor properties:
Under the miscellaneous tab
I want to check:
Enable server sided validation (anti-spam)
Do not allow URLs in form data (anti-spam)
Check if the domain of the specified email address is valid (look up MX record)

Is there anything else I can do to further to possibly avoid spammers?
Thanks,
Lasa

Would I be able to add a hidden field (humans can't see, but bots can), that if entered would cause the submit to give an error?
A honey pot of sorts...

If you enable server sided validation then most automatic spam should be blocked.
However, there is no way prevent human spammers from misusing your form.

Thanks Pablo, that's good to know...done!

You can add an input field, hide it and and use validation to make sure it's empty (set data length min, max to 0).

Thank you so much... lets hope this helps!

Pablo it works...
Since I know where the input box is I can fill it out to test it.
when I hit SUBMIT it "highlights" the input box and says it need to be within the range of 0-0.
How can I hide the input box were it won't be seen on the error?
Or does it not make a difference since the field was filled by a BOT...?

You can hide the input box via the 'Hide' option.

[Lasa]

Sorry about all the questions,
"Hide option" as in simply uncheck visibility in object manager?
Lasa

[Pablo]

Yes, this is what you want, right?

[Lasa]

Yes in theory Thank you. ... people will not see the input box and simply fill out the rest of the form and submit, but BOTs will fill out the hidden input that will generate a form error on submit. Hopefully the honey pot of sorts and along with the captcha v2 will slow down some BOTS.. then we only need to worry about human spammers...

Thanks,
Lasa

(I'll report back if the spamming slows down)

So far it seems to be working..

Hi I've used the form wizard to create a simple contact/message form with the captcha (WB17) however when the "Submit" button is clicked the computer opens my email program instead of sending the form to the proper email. I used the "Use built-in PHP form processor script" and input the proper email where the message is to be sent.

This is due to you setting the form to use 'mailto' Please read from: Why shouldn't I use 'mailto' in the form action?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. Here are the settings:
When I click on the form then go to Properties > to Layout Grid > Form > Enable Form click Settings, the "Action" is greyed out however it says " <?php echo basename(_FILE_); ?> If I click on the "Send button" (in the form) then Properties>Link the Link to selects Email Address, the To: mailto: (the email I want to send it to)

If you enable the form script then the browser will not open the email application.
