Blacklist Keywords From One External Source

kko 18 Mar, 2019
Hi. I manage multiple sites that use Chronoforms (v4, v5, v6) and have seen a lot of spam getting through even though Google ReCaptcha is set. I would like to try this method to ban specific words (http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/55-chronoforms/cfv4/cfv4-anti-spam/2626-how-can-i-ban-some-words-from-posts). But since this is happening with multiple sites, I would like to reference a single external list of blacklisted keywords, instead of having to create and manage separate lists for each site. Can someone show me the code to do this?

And what happens if your single external site goes down? Either way you'd probably want a bit of a google for that one. but I wouldn't be downloading the list every time the form is submitted I would store the list on your database, and have a cron job or something try and update the list once a week or whatever.

I sell a reCaptcha v3 plugin on my site if you're interested.

healyhatman, I understand your points. Thank you for your feedback.

I would still like to try the idea I have where I reference an external list/file. Can anyone assist?

Sure. You need to use file_get_contents then parse the file. In PHP.
