Enabling Comment / TrackBack Passphrases

In order to use comment and TrackBack passphrases, you will have to make changes to your default individual entry templates (or wherever your comment form and/or TrackBack link is published).

Comment Passphrase

First, enable the comment passphrase option in the SpamLookup configuration. Next, specify a form field name (ie, "passfield", but please choose something unique).

For the comment passphrase, you would choose a word that is an answer to a simple question. For instance, "What is Brad's first name?".

Finally, you would place the question as a label to the passphrase form field, followed by the form field itself:

<p><label for="passfield">What is Brad's first name?</label><br /> <input id="passfield" name="passfield" /></p>

The above HTML would be placed within your comment form and would produce something like this:
