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.

Hi Philippe, I have included more domains in the list some time ago but forgot to update it on github. Now it is more up to date.

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?

Hi, I’m not sure as I have not really compared the two. I compiled the plugin from Stef’s code and just followed his instructions from there on.

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. ;)

nobody has tried to implement it?

Hi Gallex,

reCAPTCIA seems to require a script hosted by google hence it comes with tracking so it might not be a good idea.

I compiled the pap_contact_cleaner plugin with the changes suggested by Stef so as to make it play with com_connect. It is not fully tested yet but it does not break my site.

installed. i very much hope it helps.

quite soon i have installed com_connect to clients websites, they starting to report massive spam. most texts are in russian

colak · 2018-07-10 13:42:11

It seems that it is working as we did not receive any spam since I installed it.

That’s automated spam, I take it.

Well, pap_cleaner seems like a must-have plugin then if one is going to use comm_connect at all. Stef will probably combine the two at some point, or rewire something similar. A mail form isn’t much good if it’s filling up your inbox full of spam. Might as well just put a raw email address online.

Or better yet. Just never be reachable by any contact at all. Period.

(But were enslaved to the money that being contactable potentially makes available… And to the laws that require being contactable.)

totally agree! spam is gone since i installed it.

i hope stef will do something with the file sending issue i described here
i just don’t receive files… am i only one?

phiw13 · 2018-07-30 12:14:43

Yes, pap_cleaner (pap_comconnect) is a must have unfortunately. I have one smallish issue with it in that it uses inline style (style="visibility:hidden" on the wrapper @<div />), which makes browsers throw a fit when you use a very strict CSP. But that is easy to fix, by either 1/ loosen slightly the CSP to allow inline style or generate a hash for that inline style snippet, or 2/ modify the plugin to use a class instead.

Gallex: Sorry for the delay. Try v1.0.1 and see if it fixes the file upload issue. It works for me with smallish limits, haven’t tried anything massive yet.

Hi Stef,

We are about to publish a call for entries and this extension would be excellent for us.

I noticed from Gallex’s post that the way to use it is <txp:com_connect_file label="Send file" max="8000000" /> but is there a way to restrict the file types to .doc, .docx, and .pdf?

>Edit: Also after a quick test, trying to send a small 18Kb jpg, returned the error Send file must not exceed 8000000..

Restricting file uploads? What are you, Axel Voss? ?

You can use the accept attribute but it’ll only offer users a filter for those types – they can still use “All files” from the native file picker so you’ll need to sanitize the file extensions or (better) MIME type programmatically on reception.

trying to send a small 18Kb jpg, returned the error Send file must not exceed 8000000..

Drat, what is causing that? It always seems to work when I try it. Must be something I’m missing with some server setups or I’m just making an assumption in the code that is causing it to fall over. Annoying.
