# Update Form Builder

## Change your Form Builder to the latest version which includes more secure code to prevent spam

### 1. Add extra html inputs

Add following code inside the ***.imp-hidden-fields*** element:

```
<input name="formtoken" type="hidden" id="formtoken" value="[:formtoken:]"> <!-- unique token to verify connection --><input name="formid" type="hidden" id="formid" value="[:swpagelistid:]"> <!-- unique id of this form --><input name="comptype" type="hidden" id="comptype" value="page"> <!-- type of component, choose between 'page' or 'layout' -->
```

Example:  
[![Screenshot\_87-4](https://support.sitemanager.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_87-4.png?width=688&name=Screenshot_87-4.png)](https://support.sitemanager.io/hubfs/Screenshot_87-4.png?hsLang=en)

 

❕❕  Place the code correctly under *imp-hidden-fields* element, otherwise it won't work.

 

### 2. Add data attribute to form

If you've followed step 1 correctly, you are in the right place to find the next rule of code.

Add data attribute *data-request="swfiles/lib/sendmail.php"* to your **\<form\>** element.

```
data-request="swfiles/lib/sendmail.php"
```

Example:  
[![Screenshot\_89-3](https://support.sitemanager.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_89-3.png?width=688&name=Screenshot_89-3.png)](https://support.sitemanager.io/hubfs/Screenshot_89-3.png?hsLang=en)

### 3. Change source of Ajax request

If you've followed step 1 correctly, you are in the right place to find the next rule of code.  
Scroll down untill you find the next lines of codes as seen in this example:

![Screenshot\_88-2](https://support.sitemanager.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot_88-2.png?width=576&name=Screenshot_88-2.png)

Change following code (old)

```
url: 'swfiles/lib/htmlform.php'
```

to (new)

```
url: document.querySelector('#custom_form[:swpageitemid:]').dataset.request
```

 

### 4. Save your code & publish project

After you've changed your code, don't forget to **save component and publish your project** to see the changes.

👉  **Test** if everthing works fine by sending a mail with your custom Form Builder.
