Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.The following patch adds a countermeasure to prevent spam on the guestbook.
It provides two checks:
1. Checks the referrer URL and does not accept posts from other sites.
2. Using a random number stored in the session and placed in the form using javascript. This requires that the browser has both cookies and javascript running - which is enough to stop many spam bots.
