Tired of automated spam comments for backlinks? To keep my life easy to manage Drupal sites I've finally come up with a smallest module that I'm most happy with.
It offers two functionalities:
- Removes home page from comment form
- Disables typing http:// or https:// within the comment text
Guess now what is left for the bots to try on your site! Well I still found 1 or 2 spams just testing without backlinks if they could post at all.
But life is much better for me managing a dozen sites.
Code
This is for D6. Create folder "anu_disable_http" in sites/all/modules and create these files
anu_disable_http.info
; $Id: anu_disable_http.info,v 1.1 2012/09/26 09:08:13 D14 Exp $
name = Anu Disable http in comments
description = to prevent spam
files[] = anu_disable_http.module
core = 6.x
package = custom
; Information added by drupal.org packaging script on 2010-11-12

anu_disable_http.module
function anu_disable_http_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
global $user;
if ($user->uid !=1 and $form_id == 'comment_form') {
$form['#validate'][] = 'anu_disable_http_validate_comments';
if(isset($form['homepage']))
{
$form['homepage']['#access'] = FALSE; //disable homepage
}
}
}
function anu_disable_http_validate_comments($form, $form_state)
{
$pattern = '/\bhttps?:\/\//i';
if(preg_match($pattern,$form_state['values']['comment']))
{
form_set_error('comment',"Please remove http:// or https:// from links, we will add them if required");
}
Enable it
Go to admin/build/modules and enable this and enjoy.
