Hello,
in the last Night we received up to 80 (spam?) emails with no content. But we use required fields & recaptcha for all our forms. The IPs are 185.38.47.93 (us) and 23.94.9.196 (uk). If we try by yourself we can't send a message. Do you had a idea what's the problem?
A site with on of your froms is https://offensichtlich.de/kontakt/schreiben-sie-uns
We hope you had a solutions for this problem and we hear from you.
Greetings
Norman

Hi Norman,
A Google search suggests that Project HoneyPot (currently down for maintanace) sees both of these as spambots. The US one as a Comment Spammer and the other as an Email Harvester. Basically they just scan the web checking every URL they find looking for *useful* stuff for their purposes.
These bots have JavaScript disabled so user-side validation will not do anything to stop them. Serverside validation should - and so should the Captcha. I am wondering if the Captcha is correctly configured?
I suggest that you add serverside validation to block these two IP addresses and kill that source.

Hi Bob,
thanks for your replie. I think our captcha work correct but how I can check it better? We use the google capatch and put in in the setup to "on load" & "on submit" normally it works fine ... only the spam bot make problems. π What we can make better?
Okay, we try now the serverside validation but this works not 100% π

Hi Norman,
Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager, post it here I'll take a closer look.

Hi Norman,
You need to add Event Loop actions to both the pink ON Fail boxes - otherwise nothing happens if the check fails.
The Server Validation needs to be moved up before the Email action - otherwise the email is sent before the validation is run.
The custom code for the redirection needs updating a little for CFv5 and Joomla! 3
There is a built in datepicker in CFv5 - if you keep the Custom Code version that code also needs similar changes.
Here's a copy with those changes made.

Hello Bob,
is it possible to give me the backup from the form with your changes as a "template" for me?
A small question by the way. In your demo I can't find a datepicker only the field for the desired date?!
Thank you & Greetings

Hi Norman.
Here's the backup copy. I didn't try to add the code for the custom datepicker that you have configured or replace it with a CFv5 datepicker.

Hi hardy_bln,
I would add an Event Switcher in the On Submit event and check for '://' in the phone and possibly message fields. If it's found either reload the form or redirect to the home page.

Hi Bob,
do you have a praxis example for us? I have no idea what I have to do!
Is there a better way to solve this problem?

Hi hardy_bln,
The Event Switcher would need a ReDirect action in the On Fail event pointed to say, the site home page. In the Event Switcher you can use code like this

<?php
if ( strpos($form->data['phone'], '::/') !== false || strpos($form->data['message'], '::/') !== false ) {
return 'fail';
}

Replace phone and message with the input names from your form.
