Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Hi Stef,

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Yes, but not that version. It needs updating to make it work in com_connect:

register_callback('ext_com_connect_verify', 'comconnect.submit');

function ext_com_connect_verify()
{
    $emailField = trim(ps('Email'));
    $banPatterns = explode("\n", fetch_form('comcon_spam_patterns'));

    $evaluation = &get_comconnect_evaluator();

    // If the email address matches one of the given patterns, fail.
    foreach ($banPatterns as $pattern) {
        $pat = trim($pattern);

        if ($pat && preg_match($pat, $emailField)) {
            $evaluation -> add_comconnect_status(1);
        }
    }

    return;
}

Swap the old verifier plugin code with the above (rename the plugin to ext_com_connect_verify too if you like) and rename your Form that contains your blocklists to comcon_spam_patterns. Should be good to go.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Thanks so much stef, I’ll experiment with it on another site first as zcr is currently used beyond our domain and I wouldn’t want to break anything for the next 19 months.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Hi Stef,

I’m having a problem trying to install the plugin. When clicking on the install button the site appears to freeze and then I get a 403 Forbidden message (You don’t have permission to access /textpattern/index.php on this server.) and the server is unresponsive…

(Using Textpattern 4.6.2)

Looks like it the hosting – apparently it triggered some security rules… trying to get some more detail now.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Not sure if this has been answered before as a search did not bring results – I was wondering if its possible to style the label tag separately?

Example:

<txp:com_connect_text label="Name" required="1" break="" class="someclass anotherclass yetanotherclass" placeholder="Enter your name" />

Using the above results in the class names being applied to both the label and input tags.. I’d like to style them differently..

label.someclass {}, input.someclass {}? Or maybe, depending on your markup structure, .someclass:first-child { /* label */}. Or maybe something else, there are so many possibilities.

Thanks…but I meant is it possible to make so that we could have a class option applied to the label and the input within the call to txp:com_connect_text…. maybe this is too much but worth asking :)

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

etc_query to the rescue?

<txp:etc_query
    data='<txp:com_connect_text label="Name" class="someclass" />'
    replace="//label@@class=labelclass;//input@@class=anotherclass"
/>

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer

Thanks all…I’ve just gone with an inline class label.comRequired for now. Seems a bit strange that the class attribute for the input tag is also applied to the label tag, or maybe its just me :)

Well it’d require extra attributes (like labelclass or something) which adds complexity. And as phiw13 says, you can easily target them individually if required by using a compound selector, so we decided this was an acceptable tradeoff.

If anyone can come up with an alternative method for class naming that is better/simpler/more flexible, by all means suggest it.
