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 need some quick edits if you have a custom theme for those pages. But, it's an easy change!

  1. Copy app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/moogento/nomorespam.xml
    to
    app/design/frontend/ *YOUR THEME FOLDER* /default/layout/moogento/nomorespam.xml
  2. In: app/design/frontend/default/ *YOUR THEME FOLDER* /layout/local.xml
    look for Template:code
    and add this before the end of the block: <block type="nomorespam/nomorespam" name="nomorespam_review" as="nomorespam_review" template="moogento/nomorespam/nomorespam_review.phtml" />
  3. In: app/design/frontend/default/ *YOUR THEME FOLDER* /template/review/product/view/list.phtml
    change from <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('review_form') ?> to
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('review_form') ?>
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('nomorespam_review') ?>
