Remove Spam Check

[Arvid]

Hi there,

is there a possibility to remove the spam check? Tried to comment the SPAM-check but then it fails to go through as it is not checked.

Thanks,

Arvid

Arvid,
You should be able to do this with the following:

1) Make sure you do a template override first (https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/what-are-template-overrides-and-how-do-i-do-them/)
2) Then find your event-form.php file and then replace the SCRIPT block starting on line 18 with the following code: https://gist.github.com/3935859

I was able to successfully test this in my environment, but let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!

Thanks Casey,

change the block at line 18. Even when I comment line 118 ( $this->formSpamControl();) I get the error message. When I don’t comment the message, the SPAM check line still shows up on the page. When I don’t check it, I also get the error message.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.

Arvid,
Can you send me a link to your ‘Submit Event Page’ so I can take a look?

Arvid,
Sorry to hear you’re still having issues. It looks like this is an issue with your theme not including jQuery (or another plugin is conflicting) and causing JavaScript errors: http://d.pr/i/hcaB

Unfortunately, since this solution works in the default theme, this would fall under our policy of not supporting custom themes (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/read-this-an-important-note-on-plugintheme-deactivation/). Sorry I’m not able to help you more than that.

Thanks Casey, didn’t see that error before. Let me work on that first before I get back to you.

Something strange was going on. We have now include the code in the header of WordPress. We noticed that the hidden.category was not needed. The code used (and which is working now) is:

//’Click’ the checkbox and then hide it and the label
// jQuery(‘input[name=”naes”]’).click();
jQuery(‘input[name=”naes”]’).attr(‘checked’, true);
jQuery(‘input[name=”naes”]’).toggle();
jQuery(‘.naes’).toggle();

});

Glad to hear you got everything sorted! I’m closing out this thread, but feel free to start a new one if you have further issues. Thanks!
