Hi Al
This is exactly what I was looking for. I'm sure other people will find this useful
as well. If spammers start using it, someone will improve the script e.g. to make the
Visual Confirmation more "auto" proof. Currently I see it has plain text in it.
Some criss cross lines would help to obfuscate the auto image recognition used by advanced
spammers but this is excellent to disable the common auto spammer.
Is there some way you could send me:
- sendarticle.php
- mylinks.php
How can we make sure the SendArticle.php has a valid referer?
Also I wonder if there's a way to wrap SendArticle.php so it looks like a part of
the Wiki site.
thank you for all your help,
Eric

What I want to ask then is: Is there a way to pass the
pageURL variable to a hidden
field of an HTML form? That will help. Then it'll be like the Clickability links of
CNN.com,
where pages can be emailed with the Link of the page already embedded in the email
form.
Eric,
What I've done is edit MonoBook.php to add an include to page with my
links as such
Under:
right after:
data['newtalk'] ) { ?> $this->html('newtalk') ?>
I added:
In the mylinks.php page, I include;
Send this article to a
friend
sendarticle.php grabs the URL via referer, runs the function
get_title_tag (found on the Internet somewhere) to get the page title
and presents a form for the user to fill out which includes a visual
confirmation field. It is also important to code this page to ensure
that there is a refering page, otherwise bots will try to abuse it by
accessing it directly.

Hope this helps
