Where can I change the text displayed when captcha isn't entered?

[sparkdigital]

Hi,

When someone fills in the enquiry form but doesn't fill in the captcha it displays a text with the actual email address. Where can I change this to email [at] domain.com so it won't be harvested?

I also find that even with the captcha in version 2.6.7 we still get lots of spam - I had a look round the forums but there doesn't seem to be a better alternative yet. Is this right or am I missing something?

Thanks,

Konrad

Hello,

best thing to avoid spam is individualize Captchas as much as possible. WB 2.7 will offer several Captchas like calculus captchas (both image and text), individual text captchas like: What is the forename of Michael Schuhmacher?" or what word is displayed in blue color, or hidden email fields not visible to the visistor but offen field in by spam robots.

Again, once a certain Captcha mechanism is used very often, spamers will create a spam robot to crack this method.

Thanks Christian,

I look forward to the new version! In the meantime I was wondering if it is possible to stop the form from sending the email if it has any hyperlinks in the fields as the spam I receive has loads of links to websites in it.

Do you know if this easily accomplished?

Thanks,

Konrad

Hello,

for the form-module, the message comes from the language-file ($MESSAGE['MOD_FORM']['INCORRECT_CAPTCHA']).
You have to change

Code:

...Captcha, please email: '.SERVER.EMAIL;

to something different, e.g.

Code:

...Captcha, please email: '.'user(at)domain(POINT)com';

That did the trick - thanks Thorn!
