I tried posting the same spammy post into a comment and then into a CCK field (text area). Mollom blocked the comment, but let the same post get through the CCK field. Does this mean that Mollom has different standards for CCK fields versus comments, assuming that Mollom does function for CCK fields?

What CCK field was this? The body or title or a completely custom named field?

I am having this same issue. It does not appear to work on any custom fields at the moment but only the body of a custom content type.

a completely custom CCK field, in our case, a simple text area

If you check /admin/reports/dblog and filter by Mollom you should see that it never even gets sent to Mollom then. If it is a body field you will see it sent to Mollom.

That's what happens for me at least. Let me know if your custom field is getting sent to Mollom!

Thanks, are you sure that interaction with Mollom will post to dblog? I have Mollom turned on for comments and this custom CCK field mentioned above. Just tested posts on each and nothing shows in dblog. All that shows for Mollom is a successful CAPTCHA completion a few days ago when I registered a user. Thoughts?

Also, have you had any success with putting Mollom in Developer mode to test it by any chance?

Yes, it definitely gets logged. You should see a Mollom filter in the filter section. Do you see that filter?

No, I haven't had success with Mollom in dev mode yet. When I use a content type with the default body field it sends Mollom content wrapped in a <p> tag and it marks it as ham every time.

One suggestion given to me by the Mollom team is to create two sites and just use one for developer mode.

Btw, I found out that if you are in dev mode and use captcha only for your Ctype then your captcha will fail everytime. Took me a while to figure that one out.

It would be really nice to choose which field(s) to send to Mollom for each content type!

Thanks. Yeah, I see that it's working now on my custom cck field. Still wish I could get dev mode to work, since we need to style the "Captcha backup" page and we can see that page unless we trigger it w/ spam. No idea what's causing the problem you're running into. Maybe it's an input-format issue?

So you see your custom content field being submitted to Mollom in dblog?

If you are using dev mode, just must use specific words to trigger testing. See [#http://drupal.org/node/350424]

Marking this as by design. Please keep posted to #245682: Enable use of Mollom for any form as this process will change with concatenation instead of the current node building process.
