Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
How to use third party (smtp) to send emails?

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
In zcr we used to have a zemError class. Is this no longer needed?

Hi Yiannis,
The class names have changed. It’s now called comError. More infos on changed class names in the docs.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
As Jacob notes, The class name has changed. You probably still need an ‘error’ class , even as most browsers today do a validation for required fields. If the plugin detects some additional error, it can flag that and then uses that class to indicate the field that contains an error. Example: x @ x.com is accepted by most browsers as an email address, but the plugin rejects it (rightly so).

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
What’s the best way to protect the com_connect plugin from being used to send spam? I’ve read through this thread and the github stuff too, and there’s talk of using the API with pap_cleaner etc. but I can’t see a paint-by-numbers example anywhere… can anyone point me towards a walk through of best practice?

Are there patterns in the spam email addresses? If they are Stef has provided a method here which is a conversion from the zcr plugin. Follow that thread regarding usage.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
I just hoped it would work like magic ;-)
I’ll reinstate the contact form that was causing the problems and see what patterns I can see…

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
can i use the form with reCAPTCHA?
i inserted the provided line of code inside the com_connect code – but how to make it required?
right now it’s sender’s choice to solve it or not. ;)

Just in case you may need some help on this. Here is the misc form named comcon_spam_patterns.tpl as used in our site, and I compiled Stef’s plugin which I posted here.

Re: com_connect - form and contact mailer
Thank you Yiannis,
I think I’ve understood this correctly:
Your compiled plugin is just an updated version of pap_contact_cleaner and which will then look for a form (of type misc. ) named comcon_spam_patterns, yes? And as soon as I spot the pattern of spammers I just edit this form?

Thanks for this – I’ve received some spam from a similar domain as yours business-capital-advisor.com. Hopefully that will keep them out of the mailbox.
