Aims & Preparation

Short on time? We'll install this for you as part of our Installation & Setup Service

Magento has some basic spam protection built in, but it doesn't evolve - spammers have worked out Magento's system and you probably already have spam Product Reviews and occasional floods of spam contact form submissions.

NoMoreSpam! has a zero-config setup, which will automatically block automated spam from your Contact Form and Product Review pages.

There's no need to use annoying Captcha fields (does anyone not find those really 'nail-down-blackboard' annoying?!), it just works.

  • If you haven't installed it yet, follow the Easy Install Guide to get NoMoreSpam! running.
  • NoMoreSpam! works great with Magento 1.4x and later.

Double-check it works

  1. Send a message from your Contact Form.
  2. Add a product review.
  • Check that both arrive where they should...

Working With Custom Themes

The Product Review and Contact Form spam checks - sometimes you'll need to make some quick edits if you have a non-standard theme.

  1. Copy app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/moogento/nomorespam.xml
    to
    app/design/frontend/ *YOUR THEME FOLDER* /default/layout/moogento/nomorespam.xml
  2. Copy app/design/frontend/base/default/template/moogento to app/design/frontend/ *YOUR THEME FOLDER* /default/template/moogento
