I have SPAM registrations from VirtueMart registration page

[kostianev]

Hello,

I am using VirtueMart for eCommerce website, where I start to have SPAM registrations from bots.
How can I redirect the VirtueMart Registration page to the Joomla Registration page?

I don`t use the VM Registration, but bots register from there?
Any Suggestions?

after

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

header("Location: https://www.xxx.com/your joomla reg page");
die();

@GJC

The docs seem to also show how to turn redirect to VM off and use only the joomla registration

I don't have SPAM registrations from VirtueMart registration page

Why?

Because we use Google Recaptcha in VM registration.

Or we use OPC Recaptcha plugin.

Then we have not any spam from registration
Joomla registration we don't use, is not comfortable for eshop.

but u can still reach the vm reg page if u know the url .. there is no redirection

I thought the primary problem was SPAM during registration and the secondary problem was the type of registration is insignificant.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?
Making an individual link, that works like richie webs adminexile perhaps. Any suggestioner welcome. I have between 10 and 20 Ru registrations every Day. Quite annoying.

I'm using .htaccess to block well known spammers and unwanted crawlers. You could redirect to sites being liked very much by yourself without referrer instead ... :->

This lowered traffic (= server load) and I have full control due to logging into a trivial text file when blocking something. Positive side effect has been to get more page views (real page views!).

Additionally I disabled "send copy to me" at every system running online as well (Joomla, Wordpress, Drupal, Shopware, Magento, ...) at contact pages or "ask question" or comments or something the like. With this your site is pretty save to not to be misused as spammer.

edit:
Using a captcha from a foreign site is against any rule of privacy IMHO. I use either a local one or none.
