Adding a CAPTCHA to your Freeway form

I downloaded the latest version of Freeway, and read through the source code of the Action. As best I can tell, the spam trap is always active. At least I was unable to locate any reference to switching it off or on.

I don’t have a Mac that can run Freeway handy. It’s not labeled Honeypot explicitly, but it will be labeled something that infers that it will add a hidden element to the form.

Hi Walt

I am using the Send Form action in Freeway 7. Can you tell me where to find this ‘Honeypot’ feature you mention.

Regards
Kevin

The whole Easi-form system has been abandoned by its developer, apparently.

If you have some experience with hand-coding, you can add the ReCAPTCHA feature from Google to your form. If you don’t want to hand-code, there are “honeypot” features (imagine this as an invisible CAPTCHA, that your users don’t interact with) in both the PHP Feedback Form (download at ActionsForge.com) and the Send Form Action (built into Freeway 7).

When you enable those, an invisible form element is added to your contact form. Any bot will fill it in, because bots can’t read or understand anything. Humans (even those using screen readers) will not see the field, so they won’t fill it in. If the field is populated, then your server will simply show the thanks page and not send the form submission on to you.
