Contents -------- [](#contents) - [Requirements](#requirements) - [Installation](#installation) - [Configuration](#configuration) - [Usage](#usage) - [Issues](#issues) - [Contribution](#contribution) - [Attribution](#attribution) - [Maintainers](#maintainers) - [License](#license) Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - [SilverStripe Framework v4](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework) Installation ------------ [](#installation) Installation is via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org): ``` $ composer require silverware/spam-guard ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) As with all SilverStripe modules, configuration is via YAML. An extension to the base `Form` class is applied via `config.yml`. Configuration is also used to define the default Spam Guard instance via the SilverStripe dependency injector: ``` SilverStripe\Core\Injector\Injector: DefaultSpamGuard: class: SilverWare\SpamGuard\Guards\SimpleSpamGuard ``` The default instance `SimpleSpamGuard` uses a honeypot approach for preventing spam, combined with a minimum form submission time, defined by the `timeLimit` property. Usage ----- [](#usage) Once installed, you can enable simple spam protection on your forms by using the following code: ``` $form = Form::create( ... ); if ($form->hasMethod('enableSpamProtection')) { $form->enableSpamProtection(); } ``` By using `hasMethod` to check for the spam protection method, instead of `hasExtension`, we enable interoperability between this extension and the SilverStripe SpamProtection extension with no changes required to the form code. ### Arguments [](#arguments) The `enableSpamProtection` method accepts an optional array of arguments with the following keys: - `class` - class of the Spam Guard instance to use - `name` - name of the Spam Guard form field - `title` - title of the Spam Guard form field - `insertBefore` - insert the Spam Guard form field before a field with this name - `insertAfter` - insert the Spam Guard form field after a field with this name For example: ``` if ($form->hasMethod('enableSpamProtection')) { $form->enableSpamProtection([ 'class' => CustomSpamGuard::class, 'name' => 'CustomSpamGuard' 'title' => 'Tasty Spam', 'insertAfter' => 'Message' ]); } ``` ### Writing your own Spam Guard class [](#writing-your-own-spam-guard-class) Spam Guard instances must implement the `SilverWare\SpamGuard\Interfaces\SpamGuard` interface. Your implementation must include the following methods: - `getFormField()` - answers the form field responsible for spam protection - `getDefaultName()` - answers the default name for the form field - `getDefaultTitle()` - answers the default title for the form field Issues ------ [](#issues) Please use the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/praxisnetau/silverware-spam-guard/issues) for bug reports and feature requests.

Field is added to form that is hidden using CSS hiding it from human users. Form is only allowed to be submitted if field is empty. Includes an EditableInvisibleSpamField to integrate with the UserForms module. 112.1k](/packages/exadium-silverstripe-invisible-spam-protection)[silverstripe/auditor Adds security audit trail to SilverStripe. 10352.1k5](/packages/silverstripe-auditor)[bringyourownideas/silverstripe-composer-security-checker Provides information if your SilverStripe application uses dependencies with known vulnerabilities. 10103.9k2](/packages/bringyourownideas-silverstripe-composer-security-checker) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
