AntiSPAM & lost data questions 1 Month, 4 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Hi everyone,

I have two major problem with ChronoForms and if someone can help me solve them, I will be extremely happy because other than that, it's a marvellous component.

So...

1) How is it possible that I receive SPAM by robots like this:
===========================
Date d'arrivée: None
Date de départ: None
Nombre de nuits: None

Nom: None
Prénom: None
Téléphone: None
E-mail: AdonisSadfoty63@gawab.com

Nombre de personnes: None
Services demandés: Site avec eau et électricité

Message: Hammm? Nice article? Interesting.
<a href=http://patriciamorris.c0n.us/of9119.html > of </a> <a href=http://matthewmaroney.977mb.com/free6335.html > free </a> <a href=http://irvingsaltis.hostsnake.com/of7597.html > of </a> <a href=http://members.lycos.co.uk/emersonespinosa/free2918.html > free </a> <a href=http://roywillson.hostsnake.com/free1754.html > free </a>
free free free
==========================
even when I ave the Anti-Spam activated like this?


2) If a client forgets typing in or makes a mistake in the verification code (CAPTCHA), The warning message pops up fine but when the client is sent back to the form, all the data that he filled in it is gone (witch can be very frustrating). So, is there a way to prevent that from happening? Make it so that the data stays in the form on refresh to avoid forcing the client to retype everything?

Thank you very much in advance for your precious help!

Cheers,

Denis.

Hi Denis,

To keep the data see this FAQ

But if you are getting spam from the form it looks as though the ImageVerification isn't working for you

PS Fixed the link but now the FAQ is broken

Hi Bob,

Sorry but your link to the FAQ you pointed to me is broken. I'll try to find it but just in case I can't, can you please fix the link? Thank you.

Exactly... but is there a way to fix this so it works? I don't understand, a robot isn't suppose to be able to read an image How come this on does?! I imagine that you people (the developers) know a way to solve this issue?!

Please help me!
(like it is said: "To every problem exists a solution... if there is no solution, there is no problem!" )

I just hope that you wonderful people can help me solve the ImageVerification issue.

Thanks again in advance,

Denis.

Hi Denis,

Fixed the link but now the FAQ is broken

Basically you need to set the values of the fields from the $_POST array and then all will be well. This is very straight forward for input and textarea fields, less so for check & radio boxes and select fields.

For an input box use:
Code:

<input . . . value="<?php echo $_POST['fieldname']; ?>;" . . . />

ISSSHHH!

Thanks for your help Bob but, could you please show me an example of the code and where to put it for the data thing? Sorry but I'm not close to being a pro in coding .

And also, any clues on how to fix my SPAM problem?

Cheers,

Hi Dennis,

Hmmm it's all in the lost FAQ - I'll rewrite over the weekend if I can.

No idea about the spam though - where's the form?

ChronoForms License

equalheightTo be able to continue working at this component we decided to get a small profit out of it but at the same time don't force everybody to pay in order to use this great component.

 

 From version 1.5 and up a link at the bottom of everyform created will be placed, saying "joomla professional work", the link will be to us here htttp://www.chronoengine.com, its illegal to remove this link from the source code unless you have a license,

so the license is very simply for the same ChronoForms component without a link, thats all!

This License is for 5 different websites ONLY. 

 

 However, in order to allow everybody to still use the component and even get out of this, the link is inside a div with class : chronoform , use this to hide the link by using different colors or whatever if you really can't pay, but of course the link is still exists at your page source.

 

The license is ONLY 25$ can be bought here :

 

Thank you!
