Worked 100%.

Cheers and gratitude! -Alan

Don’t be sorry, who reads an entire 83-page topic to find something you’re not even sure it exists? I just happened to know it was there ;)

:D Fair enough! I’ll try to not be so hard on myself. Tks again!

i am using an individual contact-page, and all articles i have describe team members — the title referring to their name, and a custom field specifying their email address. the contact form should generate its dropdown from the articles’ txp:title’s and txp:custom_field’s.

Okay. I assume the dropdown list in the contact form is already working and filled automatically with all those team member article titles, right?

In the PHP code, you’d have to query the textpattern table to get the custom field for the article title selected by the visitor in the contact form. The safe_field function should help you do that:

$email = safe_field('custom_1', 'textpattern', "title='".doSlash($title)."'");
if (empty($email) or !is_valid_email($email)) $email = 'default@example.com';

Note that $email will be set to FALSE if the article title isn’t found. And This assumes that the user selected title is stored in the $title variable and the email address is in the custom_1 column in the textpattern table (first custom field).

Hello TXP community,

Another day, another question from self-deprecating foolish Alan…

I would like to ‘up’ the SPAM protection for email delivered via zem_contact_reborn.

I’ve found I can quickly add adi_contact — which is great so far for finding emails with links in.

But is there anything else that people recommend for use with zem_contact_reborn, ideally a CAPTCHA system like ngd_recaptcha but for use with zem_contact_reborn rather than comments?

Thank you.

Cheers, -Alan

Hi Alan,

Captcha is something I’d considered for adi_contact but never got around to it – partly because I think they’re a pain in the bum to use.

The alternative is to do something simple where the user has to type in the correct answer to a question.

Hi Adi,

Oo? That would be good too :) Would I be right in thinking your existing plugin could do that — ask a Q and insist on a specific (not revealed) answer before it allows the form to be submitted? I looked at the example but didn’t see that facility (likely I am being a clutz…).

Alan, try this:

<txp:zem_contact>

<p>Who won the FA cup in 1936?</p>
<txp:zem_contact_secret name="correct_answer" value="Arsenal" />
<txp:zem_contact_text name="answer" label="Answer" required="0" />
<txp:adi_contact_validate names="correct_answer,answer" type="equal" message="Sorry, no cigar." />

<txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send message" />

</txp:zem_contact>

The Answer field is set as “not required”, otherwise you get two error messages.

There is also pap_contact_cleaner. Still working well for me.

Still works well for me too!

Brilliant!

Thanks so much Adi and Els >^_^<

I did read through the thread for pap_contact_cleaner and something (wrongly) triggered my this is not likely to be a straight install for 4.2.0 — I was obviously completely wrong, I’ve installed it already and expect it will greatly help.

Thanks Adi for the example of how (if I tried harder at reading docs, bad me) I could use zem_contact to add more anti-spam.

So, in case of interest for any other readers, for now I am using the excellent pap_contact_cleaner plugin together with the excellent adi_contact plugin and if I feel I need to add more, I will implement Adi’s comment on use of zem_contact.

THANK you both for answers and I hope this little thread-ette is of some help to someone else.

Cheers, -Alan
