Tip of the day!

Dunno about you, but I frequently get contact us form submissions from bots using 'google' as the company name.

In v4.7.x, to stop them, edit /include/help.php

After...

    // Check required fields
    $fillerror = !func_check_required_fields($contact, $current_area, 'contact_us');

Insert...

    if (strtolower($contact['company']) == 'google') {
        $top_message['content'] = func_get_langvar_by_name('lbl_error');
        $top_message['type']    = 'E';
        func_header_location('help.php?section=contactus&mode=update&err=1');
    }

Or just block IPs, or ranges of IPs outright using .htaccess

<Limit GET POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 5.188.210.
allow from all
</Limit>

If Google really is a client of yours, obviously use with caution

Are these downloads still available? For some reason, my install from 2017 just stopped working on the login popup (the captcha doesn't show). I wanted to check the newer revisions.

It looks like the 2017 version had logic for the popup that was later changed.

Yes, the downloads for the module are still available and current.
Just go to the very 1st post in the thread and you will be able to see the updates and latest versions.

Sounds like something has changed in your templates though.

Thanks, looks like xcartmods was down yesterday as the links were giving a dns error but are working now.

Hi,

I think Phil was changing servers which may explain downtime?

Kind regards
