Guest Entries#

Shield can help you protect against Spam in your guest entries.

  1. Follow the Guest Entries (opens new window) setup guide, if you haven’t already
  2. Make sure Guest Entries (opens new window) support is enabled in your Shield Config (opens new window)
  3. Add the hidden input fields to your form so Shield knows what to validate

To setup Shield to protect your guest entries, the following hidden fields must be defined.

<input type="hidden" name="shield[emailField]" value="{guestEntryEmailFieldHandle}">
<input type="hidden" name="shield[authorField]" value="{guestEntryFullNameFieldHandle}">
<input type="hidden" name="shield[contentField]" value="{guestEntryBodyFieldHandle}">

These fields need to be defined so that Shield knows what attributes to look for in the guest entry in order to prepare the data to pass along to Akismet for validation.

When the form is submitted and the Guest Entry is validated, the entry will be handed to Shield which will then grab the shield[emailField|authorField|contentField] values containing twig placeholders which will then be replaced by attribute values found in the EntryModel (opens new window)

Note that the emailField and authorField are not required.
