Whither CAPTCHA, Enter CFFormProtect

We've been looking to replace, or least offer an alternative to, the current CAPTCHA in Mura. After some research, we've decided to use Jake Munson's excellent CFFormProtect. 

You can find a complete description of the project at RIA Forge using the link above, but here are a few reasons we chose to include it in Mura CMS:

• Fully Accessible
• Invisible to Users
• Goes beyond simply requiring human form submission providing tests for multiple URL submission, mouse movement, keyboard use, timed submission, and keywords.
• Easily Configurable
• Support for Akismet and Project Honey Pot

We've been using on this site and a couple client sites and it's been a real lifesaver.

How to use CFFormProtect in Mura

CFFormProtect is already a part of public-facing system forms in Mura, but if you want to add it to a form created in the Forms Manager, here's how:

1. Create a form in the Forms Manager.
2. In between the opening and closing <form> tags, enter this code:
   
   

   [mura ]dspInclude('display_objects/dsp_form_protect.cfm')[/mura ]

   Note: Don't forget to remove the spaces after the "mura" but before the closing "]"
3. Save the form and add it to a page.
4. Configure your settings here: /requirements/cfformprotect/cffp.ini. Documentation for configuration can be found here: /requirements/cfformprotect/documentation.html
5. If you would like to use the Honey Pot project with CFForm Protect, you can get an API key here, after you've registered.

This is available with Mura version 5.1.530.
