silverstripe-honeypotprotection
===============================

[](#silverstripe-honeypotprotection)

This module works by adding a normal text field which is visually hidden. The field is invalid when it's not empty. Bot will likely fill out the field, because they don't process css.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 5.x (for SilverStripe 4.x use 4.x Branch)
- [SpamProtection Module](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-spamprotection)

Install
-------

[](#install)

Install via composer.

`composer require jbennecker/silverstripe-honeypotprotection`

Set the default spam protector in a .yml config file of your choice.

```
SilverStripe\SpamProtection\Extension\FormSpamProtectionExtension:
  default_spam_protector: jbennecker\HoneypotProtection\HoneypotProtector
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In custom forms add the field like this

```
use jbennecker\HoneypotProtection\HoneypotProtectorField;

....

$fields = new FieldList(
    ....
    HoneypotProtectorField::create('Phone') // Change title accordingly
)

```

For userforms simply add a spamprotector-field.
