Credits and Authors ------------------- [](#credits-and-authors) - Damian Mooyman - - Attribution to Tijs Verkoyen for his Akismet API wrapper - Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - SilverStripe 3.1 - Silverstripe SpamProtection module - - Tijs Verkoyen's Akismet API wrapper - - PHP 5.3 Installation Instructions ------------------------- [](#installation-instructions) This module can be easily installed on any already-developed website - If using composer installation can be done as below ``` composer require tractorcow/silverstripe-akismet 3.1.x-dev ``` - If not using composer you'll need to download the [akismet module](https://github.com/tractorcow/silverstripe-akismet/releases/tag/3.1.0), [spam protector](https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-spamprotection/releases/tag/1.2.0), and [akismet](https://github.com/tijsverkoyen/Akismet/releases/tag/1.1.0) - Configure your environment to set 'AkismetSpamProtector' as the protector class, and get an API key from [akismet.com](http://akismet.com/) and set in the site against one of the following ways. config.yml: ``` --- Name: myspamprotection --- FormSpamProtectionExtension: default_spam_protector: AkismetSpamProtector AkismetSpamProtector: api_key: 5555dddd55d5d ``` \_config.php: ``` Config::inst()->update('FormSpamProtectionExtension', 'default_spam_protector', 'AkismetSpamProtector'); AkismetSpamProtector::set_api_key('5555dddd55d5d'); ``` \_ss\_environment.php: ``` define('SS_AKISMET_API_KEY', '5555dddd55d5d'); // and set AkismetSpamProtector as your spam protector using one of the above methods ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) By default, spam protection is disabled for users with ADMIN priviliges. There is also an option to disable spam protection for all logged in users. In order to disable this for testing purposes, you can temporarily modify these options in your development environment as below: ``` if(!Director::isLive()) { Config::inst()->remove('AkismetSpamProtector', 'bypass_permission'); Config::inst()->remove('AkismetSpamProtector', 'bypass_members'); } ``` In order to check that your form is blocking spam correctly, you can always set 'viagra-test-123' as the author and Akismet will always mark this as spam. Comments -------- [](#comments) If you're using Comments module you can quickly set akismet to filter these out by adding the `CommentSpamProtection`extension to the `CommentingController` config.yml ``` CommentingController: extensions: - CommentSpamProtection ``` \_config.php ``` CommentingController::add_extension('CommentSpamProtection'); ``` Custom Form Usage ----------------- [](#custom-form-usage) To enable spam protection in your custom forms, call the enableSpamProtection method with your field names mapped to the akismet fields: ``` $form = new Form($this, 'Form', $fields, $actions, $validator); $form->enableSpamProtection(array( 'mapping' => array( 'Name' => 'authorName', 'Email' => 'authorMail', 'Comments' => 'body' ) ) ); ``` Important notes for those in the EU ----------------------------------- [](#important-notes-for-those-in-the-eu) Because of the way Akismet works (message, author, and other information sent to a third party) in some countries it's legally necessary to notify and gain the user's permission prior to verification. To create a checkbox style authorisation prompt for this field set the following configuration option: config.yml ``` AkismetSpamProtector: require_confirmation: true ``` \_config.php ``` Config::inst()->update('AkismetSpamProtector', 'require_confirmation', true); ``` License ------- [](#license) Revised BSD License Copyright (c) 2013, Damian Mooyman All rights reserved.
