I can't get any of the spam protection modules to show a captcha / maths test etc for page comments.

I have a default install of the comments module, spamprotection module & iv'e tried the mollum, recaptcha and maths spam protectors

I'm setting the site config like this:

SpamProtectorManager::set_spam_protector('MathSpamProtector');

and setting the various api keys. dev/build/flush=all and testing in a different browser so im not logged in as admin. Iv'e cleared the cache and have the site in dev mode.

At no point has any spam protection shown up. I know it dosn't by default with mollum so i tried to trigger it with some nice spammy looking content - no dice. The mollum report dosn't get listed in the admin/reports area either.

what am i doing wrong here? I must be missing something in setting up the base spamprotection module right? but what?

should have mentioned: i'm on SS 3.1

Make sure you have added the optional extension CommentSpamProtection to the CommentingController class.

yep thanks. simon on irc directed me to the module config file where that was demonstrated.

CommentingController::add_extension('CommentSpamProtection');
