Configuration

TypoScript Configuration

The extension registers a Fluid Partial path for ke_search:

plugin.tx_kesearch_pi1 {
    view {
        partialRootPaths {
            1000 = EXT:ke_search_honeypot/Resources/Private/Partials/
        }
    }
}

This makes the honeypot partial available in your ke_search templates.

Template Integration

Add the partial to your search form template:

<f:render partial="honeypot" />

The partial renders:

<div style="margin-left: -99999px; position: absolute;">
    <label for="kesearch_hp">Diese Feld nicht ausfüllen!</label>
    <input autocomplete="new-kesearch-hp" tabindex="-1" 
           type="text" name="tx_kesearch_pi1[__hp]" value="" />
</div>

Middleware

The extension uses a PSR-15 middleware to check search requests.

The middleware checks if:

A ke_search form was submitted (tx_kesearch_pi1 parameter exists)
The honeypot field (tx_kesearch_pi1[__hp]) is missing or filled

If a bot fills the honeypot field, the request is rejected with 403 Forbidden.

The middleware is automatically registered in Configuration/RequestMiddlewares.php - no manual configuration needed.

Customization

Custom Honeypot Field Name

If you want to use a different field name, override the partial in your own extension or template:

<!-- Your own Partials/honeypot.html -->
<div style="margin-left: -99999px; position: absolute;">
    <input type="text" name="tx_kesearch_pi1[my_custom_field]" value="" />
</div>

Then update the middleware check accordingly.

Custom Styling

The default partial uses position: absolute with negative margin. You can override this with your own CSS or by creating a custom partial.

Note: Don't use display: none as some bots detect this. Use positioning off-screen instead.
