CFFormProtect 2.0 released

I have finally pushed version 2.0 out the door. This new version has a lot of bug fixes, and I added support for the Project Honey Pot service. I Have been running this new version on my blog for a week now with no problems, but if you run into any issue please let me know.

If you want to uprade from a previous version, it's pretty trivial (as long as you are using the CFC version, not the .cfm version). For my blog, I just had to drop the new CFC in and change the paths (which is detailed in the directions).

For those that don't know, CFFormProtect is a multifaceted spam prevention component that you can drop into your sites/projects, configure it to suit your needs, and it will silently stop 99% of your spam. It doesn't use Captcha, or any other visible hinderances to your users, it all works in the background. Check out the project site for more details.

Jake, thank you so much for this. I tried installing it for the first time on my wife's site but when I post to the processing page, I get an error:

Cannot convert the value of type class coldfusion.runtime.Struct to a boolean

The error occurred in D:\path-to\contact\thanks.cfm: line 6

4 :
5 : <!--- now we can test the form submission --->
6 : <cfif Cffp.testSubmission(form)>

Any idea what might cause that?

I'm not sure off the top of my head...I'll have to look at it later (I'm about to run out the door), and I'll get back to you.

Christain,

I have fixed this bug, and the bugfix version is up at riaforge. Sigh...that's kind of embarassing that I released this broken like that...

@Jake,

Probably not a big deal, but the .zip file from RIAForge was named "cffp15" which made me wonder if I had the right version (2.0). Thanks for your time and efforts in updating the project.

Steve,

I have no control over the name of the zip file on RIAForge. I just upload cffp.zip, and it names it like that (incrementing each time I upload).
