Contact Form Extended
=====================

[](#contact-form-extended)

Adds functionality to the Contact Form plugin.

Feature Overview
----------------

[](#feature-overview)

- adds an additional simple spam check
    - it checks the time spent on a form
    - configure your logging

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

[](#requirements)

This plugin requires Craft CMS 5.1.0 or later, and PHP 8.2 or later.

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

[](#installation)

You can install this plugin from the Plugin Store or with Composer.

#### From the Plugin Store

[](#from-the-plugin-store)

Go to the Plugin Store in your project’s Control Panel and search for “Contact Form Extended”. Then press “Install”.

#### With Composer

[](#with-composer)

Open your terminal and run the following commands:

```
# go to the project directory
cd /path/to/my-project.test

# tell Composer to load the plugin
composer require vandres/craft-contact-form-extended

# tell Craft to install the plugin
./craft plugin/install contact-form-extended
```

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

[](#configuration)

You can use the settings dialog in the control panel. But I would recommend creating a `contact-form-extended.php` in your config folder.

```
return [
    'secondsSpentOnFormThreshold' => 3, // 0 to disable
    'logSpam' => false,
    'logAll' => false,
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Just add the following `prepareSubmission()` call somewhere in the form template. Example:

```

    {# prepare form submission check #}
    {{ craft.form.service.prepareSubmission() }}
    {{ hiddenInput('fromName', title ) }}

    {% if page is defined and page %}
        {{ redirectInput(page.url) }}
    {% endif %}

```

If you forget that call, all submissions might be marked as spam!

### Edge Case

[](#edge-case)

If you cache the contact form, the `prepareSubmission()` might not be called and the form would misbehave.

This is out of the scope of this plugin. I would recommend not caching contact forms or using some kind of AJAX solution. My preference is a combination of the plugins "No-Cache" and "Sprig".

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

- simple spam protection via "time spent on form"
- write filtered submissions to log (configurable)
