That’ll be something like:

PHP uses PCRE. That’s close, but it will end in error. In different languages where it would work, it will allow anything as long it does not start with ‘0’ and has zero or one “1”.

A working patter would either be, if you just want to disallow based on first character:

/^[^01]/

Or if you want to validate too:

/^(|[2-9+][0-9+\s\-\(\).]+)$/

Which allows empty value or requires that the first character is 2-9 or +, followed by valid numeric phone number consisting of 0-9, +, whitespace (spaces), -, (, ) and ..

Hey Adi – I’ve got the following form which is getting absolutely hammered by spammers – so tried to implement your adi_contact_spam method – this is what I have at the moment, but its still not working – am I missing something?:

<txp:zem_contact label="" to="an@email">
<txp:zem_contact_text name="name" label="Name" break="" />
<txp:zem_contact_email name="email" break="" />
<txp:zem_contact_text name="phone" label="Phone" break="" />
<div><txp:zem_contact_textarea name="message" label="Additional Details" break="" /></div>
<txp:zem_contact_submit />
<txp:adi_contact_spam names="name,email,phone,message" />
</txp:zem_contact>

sidenote – I was checking the docs online & your anchor links don’t work at the top

In principle, that should work … but what form does this spam take? adi_contact_spam will only do its thing if there’re mail headers or urls in the fields.

Yes I know – they work in the plugin help in Admin but you’ve spotted a major lack of functionality online! I think I put it in the “too-hard-basket” all that time ago but perhaps I should have another peek.

They are urls mainly… I don’t really know about mail headers is that cc & bcc fields?

If I post long headers would that help?

tye · 2014-08-23 05:15:01

What I mean is that I don’t really know if cc & bcc fields are being sent (how do I figure that out??)

I’ve sent you an email.

Hey Adi – email replied :)

tye · 2014-08-25 06:35:43

It was working all along!!!

Thanks for taking time to look Adi :)

Take a deep breath … major update time. Version 0.6 is now available.

Here’s what’s on offer:

fixed: problem with validate type=“equal” error message
enhancement: database update functionality
enhancement: MailChimp subscription
TXP 4.6 compatibility
new tags: adi_contact_headers & adi_contact_body
ZCR 4.5+ compatibility: “errorElement” class used in addition to “zemRequirederrorElement”

Note that MailChimp subscription requires zem_contact_reborn v4.5+.

Read more in the top post and in the plugin help.

Much appreciation goes to Bloke for his help with the new ZCR and for demonstrating that MailChimp is not such a scary beast after all.

Thanks Adi

I’ll give it a go.

hi!

we’re using adi_contact 0.6, chained with zem_contact_reborn 4.5 on a TXP 4.6 installation to:

save form input to a database table,
subscribe someone to a mailchimp list,
send an e-mail to someone else.

on preliminary testing, we found that steps 2 and 3 don’t work anymore when we upgrade to TXP 4.7.3.

are you planning an update for 4.7 (preferably with zem_contact_reborn replaced by com_connect)?
