Only allow logged in customers to use contact form?

[joannem]

I'm having trouble with people spamming my contact form. Is there a way to make it so that anyone who uses the form has to be a logged in customer?

Thanks,
Joanne

Are you really still using ZenCart version 138a

You need to upgrade and read this post

One can add a captcha to the contact us form

LOL yes I'm still using it because I'm worried that if I upgrade my modules won't work and will need to be installed all over again

Problem is version 1.3.8 is insecure and susceptible to hackers. Better to take a good look at the mods you're using and decide if you really need them all, then upgrade, adding only those mods that seem essential.

OK, I have a friend that does that kind of thing, so maybe I'll get her to update it for me - thanks for your help!!

Hugs,

I was able to figure out how to make them log in to send a contact us email on my own:

In includes/modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php

Where this code is:

    } else {
      $customer_email = NOT_LOGGED_IN_TEXT;
      $customer_name = NOT_LOGGED_IN_TEXT;

Change it to this:

    } else {
      zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));

Worked like a charm
