Contact Page

[vbgamer45]

In SMF 2.0.x at least you have to edit this code in the index.php and add "contact" as an action to allow

Code Select Expand

// If guest access is off, a guest can only do one of the very few following actions.
elseif (empty($modSettings['allow_guestAccess']) && $user_info['is_guest'] && (!isset($_REQUEST['action']) || !in_array($_REQUEST['action'], array('coppa', 'login', 'login2', 'register', 'register2', 'reminder', 'activate', 'help', 'smstats', 'mailq', 'verificationcode', 'openidreturn'))))
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Subs-Auth.php');
return 'KickGuest';
}

Does the procedure change for 2.1.4?

[vbgamer45]

It might but look for similar code in the index.php file

[Lucarella]

Everything ok, works well...

Everything ok, works well...

Thank you

There is the possibility to report exactly what you did and where in 2.1.4. Thanks.

[Lucarella]

Hi, as you can see from the image, you have to enter 'contact', in the same position where I put it

[Panoulis64]

Thank you, now a guest can contact, the contact form is displayed.

[vbgamer45]

Added Spanish ai assisted translation.

Can you move your language entries to dedicated files instead of adding them to Modifications.english.php where the most mod conflicts occur upon uninstallation please?

Added the portuguese_pt translation!

I've installed current version of the mod on a 2.0.19 forum.  We're giving guests permission to use the form, but verification doesn't work correctly.  It's only presented on first page load, reloading form displays it without verification.  Any way to fix that?

[vbgamer45]

What type of verification are you using? this mod supports normal, recaptcha, hcaptcha

[Sir Osis of Liver]

We have the Image for Anti-Spam Verification Questions installed -

https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=4278

Without the mod verification questions are displayed correctly, but I'll have to code in the image in the contact template.

[vbgamer45]

That's probably why, I did not code to have that mod supported into the contact mod.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, thanks.  I'll have to do it the hard way.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Installed the mod on a 2.0.19 forum, didn't go well.  Set up verification questions with image (not the mod), works fine.  Gave guests permission to view contact page.  There are no members on this forum, all visitors are guests.  Guests do not see the main menu, so I coded a "Contact Us" link in the index template footer.  Everything looks and works fine, but we immediately started receiving spam emails.  With verification questions in place, I'm assuming these are human spammers,  How did they find the contact form so quickly?

My current theory is that a bot scraped the forum, found keyword "contact" in the page code, reported back to source, and human spammers followed to forum.  Is that how it works?  If so, I can replace the "Contact Us" text link with an image, so "contact" does not appear in view source, and change the action from "contact" to something else in contactHooks.php, since they already have it and it's easy to guess.

Does any of this make sense?

[vbgamer45]

It can happen normally bots will look for any pages that have forms then try to auto submit data.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Don't think they can auto submit anything without verification, and it's unlikely they got around that.  Would have to be human spammers, just a question of how they found it first day it was running.
