Open Source Extras Akismet Examples FormIt

Here’s a full contact form powered by FormIt, based on the example from the MODX Documentation, adapted to include the Akismet hook to protect against spam instead of Recaptcha.

After installing FormIt, you can place this full form on a resource or in a chunk/template.

To learn more about FormIt, see the official docs.

When you’re done testing, make sure to remove the &akismetTest=`1` property from the snippet.

Also create the chunk for the email content named MyEmailChuk:

This is the Formit Email Chunk.
