collective.akismet 1.0b1

Akismet plugin for plone.app.discussion

Introduction

Akismet is a web service for recognising spam comments. collective.akismet provides a Plone integration of the Akismet web service and is based on the Akismet Python interface package.

collective.akismet was developed as Spam protection plugin for plone.app.discussion, but it can be used independently

collective.akismet provides a form validator that connects to the Akismet web service and raises a validation error if Akismet detects spam. The form validator expects three form fields/values in the request: ‘form.widgets.author_name’, ‘form.widgets.author_email’, and ‘form.widgets.text’.

Requirements

collective.akismet requires at least plone.app.discussion 1.0b5.
