Mollom spam control?

Permalink
Is there any update on using an anti-spam service such as Mollom? I'm coming from Drupal and Mollom is awesome. The only thing I find on Mollom on these forums is one post from 2010 which says all concrete5 has is captcha. (http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/chat/questions-on-plugins... )

I also found this PDF of a spam proposal,www.www.concrete5.org/download_file/-/view/27311/.... So what is the current state of affairs? I might be interested in developing an add-on to do this but 1) I'm not sure if something is already in the works and 2) where would such a function fit in? Is an add-on capable of this or does it need to dig deeper into the core?

There's an antispam framework in concrete5 now that you could very easily write a plugin for. Check out this one:

https://github.com/concrete5/addon_akismet/...

It's not in the marketplace there but it does work. Check out how it works. It should be easy to install an antispam library, add in the custom settings that the plugin needs, and configure it via the dashboard (check out system & settings > antispam.)

Great thank you. I will take a look at that. Is there any documentation of the Concrete5 antispam framework currently? I'm new to Concrete5 and trying to wrap my head around it. What content is available for checking by the antispam framework (e.g. comments, form submissions)?

There's not much you need to know. At the end just have a look at this file:
https://github.com/concrete5/addon_akismet/blob/master/packages/akis...

It's more or less all you need. The check method is executed if you select this add-on in your dashboard settings as the active spam control library.

Replace the code in the check method with whatever you need and you're pretty much done..

I'm switching over from mostly using Drupal.

Mollom is the only thing I'm really missing so far. Did you have any success uzer? I'll have a look myself later.
