This mod allows you to remove form entries from Allinta.
It will remove entries that are older than 30 days and matches similar DB maintenance tools in the Settings/Database Administration page.

Replace the file in your admin folder with the revised version.
The file is called dbAdmin.asp (save a copy first)

Tested with Access but not with MySQL - if anyone downloads it, please let me know all is well with other versions.

Download file from here:

dbAdmin.zip

thanks for the mod! i'm also working on a guestbook right now. I have created one version already but since it's full of crap of bots that leave a message, i have to change the code.

Cool, i was just thinking about this today. All my test posts are cluttering up the form results. Thanks! I'll test it out soon.

What we really need for the Forms is a CAPTCHA mod. I know CAPTCHA is not the be all, end all to form security but I'm sure it would help.

I've been using CSS and a minimalist mod approach on form.asp to keep bots out of Allinta forms since day one:

STEP 1

Add this to your stylesheet:

#SpamTrap {display: none;}

STEP 2:

Mod form.asp (at about line 46) from this:

if submitted then

loadFormInfo()

else

displayForm()

end if


To this:

if submitted then

If Request.form("SpamTrap") > "" Then
Response.Redirect("/default.asp")
else
loadFormInfo()
end if

else

displayForm()

end if

STEP 3:

Mod form.asp (now at about line 270 after above insertion) from this:

contentBody = contentBody & "</table><input type=""hidden"" name=""submitted"" value=""true""><input type=""hidden"" name=""returnPage"" value=""" &returnPage & """></form>"

to this:


contentBody = contentBody & "</table><textarea id=""SpamTrap"" name=""SpamTrap"" rows=""3"" cols=""4""></textarea><input type=""hidden"" name=""submitted"" value=""true""><input type=""hidden"" name=""returnPage"" value=""" &returnPage & """></form>"

Done!

Cheers :)

How can this be tested? I just implemented it and the only difference I see is a small text box at the bottom left hand corner. Has anyone got a CAPTCHA mod to work? I have about a dozen clients on allinta and they ALL are asking for help from spam on the forms.
