The Acquia Open DXP is powered by Acquia Marketing Cloud and Acquia Drupal Cloud, a unified solution that unlocks the value of data and content so organizations can rapidly create new digital experiences. Marketers and developers now have a single, easy-to-use platform to build, personalize, and orchestrate multi-experience customer journeys across all modes of customer interaction, such as touchscreens, chat, voice, and more. In addition to the marketing tools, Acquia Open DXP will make it easier for developers to build Drupal sites with Developer Studio, its integrated development environment (IDE), and Site Factory, its tool for managing and scaling Drupal 9 sites and applications.

2014. CleanTalk updated its Drupal anti-spam module

CleanTalk has announced the official release of its anti-spam module for Drupal. The new version features optimized code and improved anti-spam checks to enhance protection against spambots. The anti-spam module is compatible with Drupal versions 7.x-1.0 and has been approved by the official Drupal.org community. The module eliminates the need for security methods that hinder website communication, such as CAPTCHAs, Q&As, puzzles, and so on. These methods significantly reduce website conversion, the company noted. CleanTalk uses verification methods that are invisible to website visitors. Visitor or spambot behavior parameters are transmitted to the CleanTalk server and analyzed, and the server then determines whether the visitor is a spambot or a human visitor. The new version of the module is now available for download from the official Drupal.org directory. For the convenience of its customers, the company offers a free mobile app that allows them to manage and receive all registration/comment information on their mobile device (available for iPad/iPhone and Android devices). CleanTalk already provides automatic spam protection for CMS (Joomla, phpBB, Wordpress, DataLife Engine, SMF, IP Board, vBulletin, VirtueMart, Drupal, 1C-Bitrix, MediaWiki) and ready-made libraries/classes for PHP, Perl, Python, NET, and Yii.
