As Cedric mentioned, in form.ftl, the input field "dedicated" to fool the robot
is hidden.
[code]<input type="hidden" name="field" value="" />[/code]
A couple of problems I see here:
1. The "hidden" type can be detected easily by a bot.
2. Once the form is submitted the first time by a bot, it is then redirected to
the form page again. All the form fields are filled in EXCEPT the hidden field
(it then has an empty value!). So if the bot resubmit the form a second time
(without entering any value in any field) the form is then processed. You can
test this by editing the form hidden field using your dev tool, submit, then
resubmit.
Solution for those problems:
1. Moving to a CSS based solution seems sensible (see Cedric's post): the bot
having more trouble to find out when a field is hidden via a separate CSS file.
[code]<input type="hidden" name="field" id="field" value="" />[/code]
[code]#eatThis {
display: none;
}[/code]
Note: No idea if making wrapping div hidden (like Cedric did) is a better
technique or not.
2. The issue here is that our field here looses its value. And you can't use
${model.value!} as with other "regular" fields do as this field is not a
component itself.
So I opted for "manual" creation of the field component, that is:
2.1 Remove from form.ftl: [code]<input type="hidden" name="field" value=""
/>[/code]
2.2 In edit mode of your form page, create a text field with "Field
Label"=field, and "Field Name"=field
2.3 Since the field gets also assigned an id of value "field" (same as "Field
Name" value), we can then hide it in style.css
[code].form-item-hidden,
.form-wrapper input[type=hidden],
form #field {
display: none;
}[/code]
Improvement: In my case I add this field manually but this could be done
automatically via configuration (generator) I think.
