Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the root folder called "areyouahuman" in the root of your Silverstripe installation. Make sure to rename it to "areyouahuman" if it is not already named so.

In your site \_config.php you can set the publisher and scoring keys like this:

```
AYAHField::$publisher_key = 'your publisher key';
AYAHField::$scoring_key = 'you scoring key';

```

If you want the Are You a Human field to be the automatic Spam Protection field, also add the following line to your \_config.php:

```
SpamProtectorManager::set_spam_protector('AYAHProtector');

```

After you have configured your keys, add AYAHField to the forms you want validated via the "Are you a human"-service ([www.areyouahuman.com](http://www.areyouahuman.com)). Something like this:

```
$formFields->push(new AYAHField());

```

You must have registered an account at [www.areyouahuman.com](http://www.areyouahuman.com) to be able to use their service. It's *free*!
