UPDATE: 2 July 2019

The spam mod referred to here was rewritten leaving out the create account template. This is only supposed to work with 1.5.5f and higher but the version I’m using does work with the contact page and Zen Cart 1.5.4.

I have had a couple of complaints recently about the Zen Cart contact form and spam. It’s been years since I’ve had any complaints and thought it was just a one time thing; however, that might not be the case.

At some point, the developers added in a hidden field that took care of the problem but it looks like the spammers have figured out a way around it. The only alternative at the moment is to install the Google Recaptcha (which I hate) found here in the plugins: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1455.

I don’t suggest uploading the create account form though. Wish it wasn’t even in the mod! The template file is named tpl_modules_create_account.php. There’s also one for reviews which actually doesn’t even make sense to have in the first place!

Let me us if you want it installed since it’s not just a straight upload. We charge either a flat fee for one mod or an hourly fee that can cover several mods and / or issues. Just use the handy dandy contact form please for the initial contact.
