A very good day,
I have read the threads about the hneypot.
Something is not clear to me.
In the faq description it says that in version 5 there is a different honeypot field.
But how do I use it?
I can not seem to find a tutorial or so about that.
Thanks in advance,
Hans
Hi Hans,
There are two different 'kinds' of HoneyPot you can use. What they both have in common is that they are invisible to the normal user.
CFv5 has a built-in HoneyPot that you can install like this:
+ drag a Load HoneyPot action into the On Load event of your form and drag it up before the HTML (Render form) action
+ drag a Check HoneyPot action into the On submit event of your form and drag it up to be the first action
+ drag an Event Loop action into the pink On Fail event of the Check HoneyPot action
The small disadvantage of this is that it relies on a token generated when the form loads so (like some of the other Captchas) will not work if your form code has to be cached.
You can add a Classic HoneyPot for yourself.
+ Add an input to your form
+ Add CSS to a Load CSS action to hide the input
+ Add a ServerSide validation that will fail if the input is not empty.
This will work OK with a cached form.

I am so sorry Bob for wasting your time.
The moment you replied I found this:

Thanks for your time.

Hello GreyHead :-)
I've tried to use forms with the honeyspot three times in one page (three different places with different topics).
I've used two ways to build the form - as you've written about those just up but I didn't get all working forms - works only the first another two not and what is interesting all information about troubles of second and third form is shown in the first form on this page.
So, my question is: Is it possible to use more then one form with the honeypot in the same web page?
Thank you very much for your answer :-)
Have a nice day.

Hi Natalia74,
The 'Classic' HoneyPot i described will work in multiple forms on the same page. As far as I know, the ChronoForms HoneyPot will not :-(

Hi GreyHead,
In a previous answer you wrote: "The small disadvantage of this is that it relies on a token generated when the form loads so (like some of the other Captchas) will not work if your form code has to be cached."
I am sorry for this stupid question, but how do I know if my website uses cached forms so I have to go for the "classic" honeypot?
I have set up a Chronoforms Honeypot, but how do I know it is working?
Best regards from
a most bewildered user of the great component Chronoforms
