Add a hidden honeypot field? was created by Peter Batchelor
On of my clients was asking about adding a honeypot field to their checkout.
Is it possible to have a hidden field in the checkout, so that it would not be seen by a human, but would be filled out by a bot?
And then, would it be possible to set up a validation rule that stated that if that field had something in it then the order could not be processed?
Thanks, Peter

Hello Peter,

Thank you for submitting the question here. Sound like this is an outstanding feature. EShop supports the visible custom fields for checkout but it does not support the hidden field as you asked.

Sincerely, Giang

Thanks Giang,
In case you were thinking about adding this feature to a future version of EShop, this is the example that my client was referring to: www.dexmedia.com/blog/honeypot-technique/

Thanks Giang,
It would be great to have this as part of EShop.
I have found a workaround, by installing www.joomlashack.com/joomla-extensions/ospam-a-not/
