Statamic Stop Forum Spam
========================

[](#statamic-stop-forum-spam)

This addon checks the [Stop Forum Spam API ](https://www.stopforumspam.com/usage) for the presence of the IP or Email from your Form submissions.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install by composer: `composer require thoughtco/statamic-stop-forum-spam`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

By default all Form Submissions will be checked for the presence of a `text` field with a type of `email` field, and if found a check will be run. It fallsback to checking for a field of any type with a fallback handle that you can specify in the config.

If you want to override this, publish the config:

`php artisan vendor:publish --tag=statamic-stop-forum-spam`

You then have the option to specify an array of specific forms to check, what field handle to check for and whether you want to fail silently.

Testing during development
--------------------------

[](#testing-during-development)

If you want to test responses during development you can use the `STATAMIC_STOP_FORUM_SPAM_TEST_MODE` env value.

Setting it to `disable` will prevent the addon from running.

Setting it to `fail` with throw a validation error, or fail silently, depending on what the `fail_silently` config value is set to.
