Link to Mod (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=277)
This MOD enables CAPTCHA-based code verification for SMF. Basically, this means that when a guest tries to register or sign-up, they need to enter in a code displayed in an image. This prevents bots from signing up, and also prevents bots posting in topics (if you have guest posting enabled).

Please tell me what you think. As this is only a beta version (it's the first release), there may still be bugs in it. Please report all bugs, so I can improve it.
Version: 0.1 (Build 1)
(c) 2006 DanSoft Australia: http://www.dansoftaustralia.net/
Tested on SMF 1.0.5, 1.0.6 and 1.1 RC2
Based on HN Captcha (c) 2004 Horst Nogajski (http://hn273.users.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1569.html)
When I try to install this it says package is corrupt ??? I am using smf 1.1 RC2. Is this package not for that version ??? it says it is.

Weird... It should work fine...
EDIT: Something weird is happening: If you download it via the SMF admin panel, it doesn't download properly (a bug in it, maybe?). If you download it via my site (http://www.dansoftaustralia.net/ ) or via the SMF MOD page (http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=277 ), and then install it, it should work fine.
I will try once more to upload it.
It wont upload through the package manager but if you upload manually it does. Nice mod works good so far.

That appears to be a bug with either SMF, or the SMF website. Bug reported (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=70851.msg482846#msg482846) :D
Also I have an empty field in the admin panel above "Number of characters to use for code" Theres nothing beside it at all to tell me what its for.

That was a slight error with the CAPTCHA MOD on SMF 1.1 RC2. It's fixed now, I just uploaded a fixed package.
Thank you. I was surprised that SMF did not come with this option to begin with.
Should I use the new one ??? This one is not causing any errors.

It doesn't really matter. The box will do no harm.
k, cool. This is a very nice mod. Thanks for this. :)
This mod works wonderfully well ... I'm using SMF 1.1 RC2 absolutely no problems. Works like a charm.
Ofcourse, I haven't tried actually registering an account but the display part the various options etc work fine.
Good Job.
It installed cleanly.
But THIS MOD MAKES FORUM REGISTRATION MALFUNCTION. THE REGISTRATION PAGE GOES BLANK.
so i uninstalled it and deleted it.
really hope it worked tho... ::)
I used a test account and registered and it works great. I also have a "Guest posting" forum and it works great there to for non registered ppl.

The mod seems to function properly for now.
HOWEVER!!! The colors are not secure. I myself work on captchas, here is my example work: www.harzem.com/captcha.php
The color range for main chars are in 0...127 and the colors for grid or noise chars are in 160...224. There is no overlap, so a computer program can very very easily differenciate it.
if(color(x,y)<=127)
$mainchar = true;
if(color(x,y)>=160)
$mainchar = false;
that's it. I'm waiting from the author to make it 0...160 for chars and 100...224 for noise. I did and it seems fine for me.

Well, the CAPTCHA algorithm is made by someone else... It's called 'HN CAPTCHA', available at http://hn273.users.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1569.html . It was the best one I could find, basically all other CAPTCHA scripts are just writing letters onto a blank canvas, or onto a simple grid. The idea of having 'noise' is excellent.
Your CAPTCHA looks great though! Only problem is the relatively large page size...

I'll try to see what the problem is... Does your server have the GD Library and FreeType installed?
Quote from: daniel15 on February 15, 2006, 12:09:48 AM

It doesn't use GD or images, so it is large, around 60 k. But this is because my way of producing, it is html code. If you know how to convert it to GD images, I will be more than happy to do this with you ;)
BTW, I suggest you to change the colors as I said before. 0..160 for chars and 100..224 for noise.
it works fine for me. But, can I change it to all numbers? because the words are hard to look well
Nice. This is the best mod I have ever seen for SMF. Nice integration as well.
I agree, best mod I've ever used! It's also the first I've ever used ;D
Just passing this on: You need to edit your uninstall so that any files you put into various directories are removed.
It says corrupted or not fit for this SMF version? I'm using latest version rc2 :o
Where is the language file for translation ?? Cant find it!
I downloaded and installed this mod tonight but it doesn't seem to work correctly for me. In the admin I see none of the text describing the values (e.g., Number of characters to use for code, Minimum Font Size), nor do I see the changes on the registration page.
Is there something I need to do differently, either in the installation or the configuration, to get this to work correctly? I'm using 1.1 RC2.
Thanks in advance.
I installed it using packet manager, and all worked well. I'm using v.1.1 rc2. I'm not sure but if you use other themes than core theme you may not get the registering screen visible at all, i did not see it in other themes yet. I have asked if someone could help me with the problem.
Try core theme and check if it is there available.
Go here to this thread, maybe there is something for you?
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=71780.0
Thanks for the link. While it didn't directly solve my problem it got me thinking. When I installed the mod (by uploading it through Package Manager) the captcha directory was never created. I'm guessing this is the cause of my problem since the strings are contained in the captcha/hn_captcha.class.php file (as mentioned in the thread you linked me to). I tried manually uploading this folder after the installation but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Any thoughts?
And I've tried this with Core, Classic, and Babylon with identical results.
Yes I installed this mod today, and it was fine but the registration page on all themes, even the main default core theme, shows up blank. The current theme I am using, Epsilon by bloc, configured for TinyPortal, does not use its own registration.template.php file, or its own post.template.php file.
The text shows up for me next to the fields in the configuration panel for it if it means anything.
Thanks!
MJJOS.
Hello again,
Just to say that my server has both GD Library and FreeType installed, I know you asked this for the last person to report this problem.
Hope this helps.
MJJOS.
My installation worked fine with package manager, not the link but i downloaded it manually and then installed with pac.manager, then added needed texts to needed file for another theme. Only the ready SMF link didn't worked in pack manager, therefore downloaded it to my computer first.
That's how I installed it. I downloaded the ZIP file (which is now sitting on my PC's desktop) and used Package Manager to upload it to my server. All of the tests are successful and the installation appears to work. When I ls the root directory of SMF, however, there is no captcha folder and thus any of the SMF pages that would grab values from a file in the captcha folder don't include them.
Try to uninstall it and then reinstall it ::)
I hade the locator mod today, it didn't installed first time, but second time it worked with pack.manager. ???
Do you use 1.1 rc2 ?
Yes, I use 1.1 RC2.
I redownloaded the ZIP file. Uninstalled and deleted the package through Package Manager, reuploaded the package, and installed it again. I even created the captcha folder myself with the files in it. The results are the same as before.
I'm using LAMP if that helps with any ideas.
I'm no experienced my self neither, try to ask someone in forum? There was an thread by the author somewhere, maybe there is something you could find out. At last there was something about installation problemss and chmod of files? Search with locationmod or similar. Hope you get it installed, seems to be useful mod. ;D

Great mod, works fine for me on rc2 :)
Sorry everyone, I haven't had time to update this recently (due to school and stuff). If you need support, here's how to get it:
1) Support ticket system: My support ticket system is at http://support.dansoftaustralia.net/ . Use it for all support-related questions
2) Bug tracker: If you find a bug, please submit it at http://bugs.dansoftaustralia.net/ . The bug tracker is also used for feature requests.
3) Forums: My forums are available at http://www.daniel15.be/ . You may use these forums for general chat regarding the CAPTCHA MOD
I just submitted a support ticket, as when I installed it attempts to register would produce a CAPTCHA garbage collection error. Needless to say, the attempt to register would fail. Running SMF 1.1 RC2 with my own theme installed. Possible conflict with theme design?
Really like the idea of this mod, so am hoping for a fast resolve.
Footnote to above... Switched to new default theme, and re-installed MOD again. Now the registration screen is showing up, and no more 'garbage collection' errors. Must be a flaw in my theme design then. Great, have to re-do that from scratch again. Oh well, got the MOD working at least!
For German user here is the German Translation:

This mod is really, really cool! Thanks for taking the time to develop it. :)
i love this script but i can't get the images to show up, iono why. Theres no pic showing up on that box...any suggestions?
did you chmod the captcha/temp dir to 777? Because the mod save there temporary the pictures, and also the the count of the mod uses ;).
BYe
DIN1031
thanks for taking your time to reply and yes i chmoded everything to 777, but i still can't get it to work. Is it because im using a subdomain as the live url? ::)
Does your host have the GD library installed? If not, it won't work. Just ask your web host if they have the GD library installed.
I have tried to install this MOD and it won't install. :(
When a new user tries to register they get the registration screen and 12 CAPTCHA images. They are 12 of the SAME images. What is going on with this mod. I'd post a screen shot but I see no option for file attachments. :(
Anyone have any idea?
Now I'm not getting the above mentiond problem, now I get the following error message from the package manager screen:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare show_captcha() (previously declared in /home/********/public_html/********/captcha/captcha.php:68) in /home/********/public_html/********/captcha/captcha.php on line 67
How do I delete this and start over again? :'(
I'm not able to have in my login the gif with the number or the letters.
I get a gif with only some cube ........
The gd library is ok ........
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0 compatible)

????
Bye & thanks again

It sounds like the MOD was installed 12 times, for some strange reason...
QuoteI'd post a screen shot but I see no option for file attachments.
You may post screenshots at ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.ws/), and paste the code here ;)
QuoteHow do I delete this and start over again?
If the uninstall button in the Package Manager doesn't work, you'll need to uninstall manually. This involves opening the:
- Sources/Register.php
- Themes/default/Register.template.php
- Sources/Post.php
- Themes/default/Post.template.php
- Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php
- ModSettings.php
files, and removing all the CAPTCHA code. Then, reinstall, and it should be working ;)
QuoteI'm not able to have in my login the gif with the number or the letters.

Sorry, I'm not sure why that happens, it seems to happen for some people but I can't replicate it. This MOD is still in beta, which means that there might be bugs in it (as you've probably noticed). I'll try to find out why it doesn't work for you (I'm not really sure, though)
I just installed it on smf 1.0.7 i did some tests and everything is OK. No error logs so far.
Thank you for contributing this mod!
Works like a charm.
uploaded it manually to the packet manager of SMF1.07 had no problems
I am really glad with this mod. I was getting quiet annoyed with the spambots,
Thank you very Much :D.
Just installed the shoutbox (Grudge's one)
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=8415
and got instantly spammed by a bot,
I wondered if it was possible to add or implement the CAPTCHA code to another mod.
I tried to do something but I couldnot figure this out. (got parse errrors and did not now where to look)
is it easy or at least possible to add the CAPTCHA to other files?
Hi Daniel, I possebly found a bug.
All new posting from members or guests works great , but as soon as you want to modify a message as a member(or even as an admin) it says:
The following error or errors occurred while posting this message:
The code was entered incorrectly.
De code box was not visable so there was no way to to fill in the code.
It does not apply to your own messages but it occures when you want to moderate a single post from a guest.
moderating another member seems to be no problem ;)
could you check that on your own forum with guest posts? ( I am using SMF1.07)
Thanks
Maime
maime,
I saw that you reported the bug here: http://bugs.dansoftaustralia.net/view.php?id=51 ... Yes, I can indeed replicate the bug, and I'll try and fix it soon.

Well, I didn't actually write the CAPTCHA code, I just made a MOD which uses the CAPTCHA code. The actual code is HN CAPTCHA, by Horst Nogajski (http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1569.html). Maybe you could ask Grudge to implement a CAPTCHA? He'd be able to borrow some of my code ;)
hi,
dont slap me please, but i read the whole forum/posts and dont find an answer to my question:
where is the admin control link for the smf captcha mod ??
i installed the mod with the package installer and everything works fine, also the registration. there i see the
picture with the code and new users have to enter the code for registration.
but i dont see the configuration link in the admin control panel :(
i use the smf 1.1rc2 with english language and the core theme, has someone a idea what ive to do?
as i installed the "googlebot mod" there was directly the "googlebot & spiders" link, what can i do? :(
NoxX,
You can find the CAPTCHA info under features and options on the basic tab at the bottom of the page.

Daniel, I solved my problem by moving onto SMF 1.1rc2.
As for the mod installation on the older version of SMF... I know I didn't install the mod twelve times since it worked fine for 2 weeks or so and then it started acting up that way. But... it's a moot point since it is working fine in the newer version of SMF that I'm running.
Thanks for your reply. ;D

OMG :o
iam so blind :(
thx a lot, i really didnt see it.
...i will go and dig a very big hole now for me ;D
this class is not support gd 2.x (or not stable)
"There is no GD-Library-Support enabled. The Captcha-Class cannot be used!" its very annoying.
i am system admin of my serverS and all gave me same problem.
all has gd2 and all *nix.
i will make new code verification modification.
ty deniel15 for making this code.
Sorry, I tried to use your support tool but it errored out on me, I think for some reason being blocked by my employer.
I installed this mod yesterday evening and it works perfectly for registrations, which is where my biggest spam problem has been. However, when posting as a guest, not a single thing happens if I try to post without even entering anything for the captcha. My message is posted with no errors occurring.
I originally downloaded this mod off the SMF website. When I saw it wasn't working for posting, I noticed you had an update on your website so I upgraded with that update. When it still didn't work, I tried uninstalling with hopes of doing a clean install of the newer version and got the following error:
Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php Test failed
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's as if everything is properly in place for the registration portion but no validation is happening for guest posting.
Forums URL (if you try a test guest post, I request that you do so under the General Discussion forum in the Non-Running Forums section): http://www.hillrunner.com/forums
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Be careful with this mod! It was working for me for awhile, but then I noticed I wasn't getting any new user registrations. I went to register, the registration screen wouldn't even load, it gave me an error "Error in CAPTCHA garbage collection". I hope it's just a problem with my webserver, but this is a very serious problem, in my opinion.
I'm using this mod since it was released, and I still have new registrations. The error may be because of your server. Try changing captcha temp folder permissions, for example.
A little more about the issue I'm having.
I've been looking at the code modifications for the CAPTCHA mod to work. I found the code to verify the captcha entry in the registration and assured that the corresponding code for guest posts (below, copy/pasted from the Sources/Post.php file) is in place. Does anyone have any thoughts on why it seems as though there is no verification of what the user enters during guest posting? I thought the code below would do so but it doesn't seem to be doing so.
Thanks again

I have the Captcha code installed and now if you register or make a post as a guest you have to fill in the code but ......... I still got spam!, and it looks like a machine is spamming , anyone here ever encounteredthe same thing? if not , it must be a manual spammer :( but that would be wierd .....well you never know what people what people do. :-\
Quotebut ......... I still got spam!
Yeah, I got some spam in Chinese. But, it appears to be an actual manual spammer. They appeared to browse around my site (a flash site), view a few topics, and reply to only two topics.
Also, I'd suggest to clear out your error logs once in a while. I just checked mine, and I have 20 pages of "Sorry, you didn't enter the correct code. You must go back, refresh the page, and enter the new code!" from bots trying to use the Register page :P
i downloaded the package (the zip file) and when i try to install it... it says :
You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!
although i've chmoded'em to 777... any suggestions, please?
must i unzip the archive, and, if so, where?
thnx a lot.
I have uploaded the archive in the PACKAGES folder.
After installation if I try to make a new signup, server return registration like a blank page.
I'm using 1.1RC2
Any idea?
look here (http://stevross.netsons.org/forum/index.php?action=register)
Tell your host to install "GD library" and "FreeType support", which will absolutely fix your problem.
If you have WebHostManager root access, you can "Build Apache" with these options enabled.

However, when posting as a guest, not a single thing happens if I try to post without even entering anything for the captcha. My message is posted with no errors occurring.
I have the same problem.
I've tried to find why it doesn't work, but I couldn't find it either...
Hi, I'm a real newbie to SMF and can't figure how to 'post'. so I'm using 'reply' - If I'm making big mistake, I'm really sorry.
I just installed Captcha, seems it's working fine but I want to change the line shown at registration, under the generated image.
It goes
'You must read and type...'
I figured the txt is in modification.english.php file and changed that part as I wanted (instead of 'you must' - i want to
say 'please read'...)...
but that change didn't get reflected. I still have same 'You must read and type' - I downloaded assumingly all relevant folders and using search function but can't find where else ' txt [CaptchaReadAndType] might be stored, and can't figure the explanation why my alteration gets override by original txt.
Hello, thanks for the mod.
Will you please list here the directories and files for which the mod must have write access to install?
I am installing the mod via the package manager on version 1.0.7. The first 7 steps are ok, but step 8 (8. Execute Code installScript.php) does not seem to work.
At the bottom of the screen, I am asked for a ftp login and password. As I don't have ftp installed on the server, this won't work. So, a listing of the files and directories that need write access would be good, so I can manually grant write access.
Thanks,
Kevin / TamOShanter
I´ve also a problem installing Captcha
I use SMF 1.1. RC2 - when i want to install the modification i have to enter the ftp-login.
SMF ist installad in the root folder
When i enter the ftp-login i geht the following error:
501 Invalid number of arguments.
Somebody has a solution?
is this mod suitable for use with SMF 1.1rc2 + TP 0.86 ?
thanks

hey bro :D whats up :D
exactly safe to use or unsafe? :D
Fine here ;) Hope so you are :)
The mod seems to be safe, but actually I don't like the way of background distortion. But it works fine. Don't forget to check the registration page after you install the mod. Because on some hosts, it may give you a blank screen due to misconfiguration.
If you ask me, I use (a modified version of) this mod on my sites ;)
nice to see u again :D
I think they should built this into SMF by default along with a reffer feild as well like they have in vB and IPB
Dont u think?
captcha will be a standard feature in the very next release. I have no idea about the referral field :)
Next release = 1.0 final yes?
Its good to know it will be there by default :)
Quotecaptcha will be a standard feature in the very next release
Really? That's quite nice to know :D The SMF implementation would proably be a lot better than mine (I didn't even design this MOD for public release, but people kept asking me about it :P)
Good morning.
Looks like I am the only one who has that problem. I installed the CAPTCHA Mod. But if I test the registration or a guest posting there is only an empty picture shown without any characters. I still have the default settings on, didn't change anything, web save colors etc. So there is no code to see. :(
The other thing is just an information. If you use space characters for a file name you don't have to wonder, if it doesn't work with the file manager. Space characters are imho a crime for work at the web. It is a typical windows accommodativeness, but only works THERE without problems. ;)
Edit July 8th
I have changed each setting, but nothing changes. Still the empty picture.
Hello, i like to install CAPTCHA for Spam Entries prevention. But after installing via the Packet Manager, ther is no MOD Configuration and also no GD Image with the verifacation Code on the new theme site.

I've had problems after installing the mod and trying to regsiter it just shows a blank page. Runing SMF 1.07 and I've tried in on a Linux box and Mac OS X box and both display blank pages. Any ideas what's going on? I also tried it on a Linux box running PHP 5.05 an it had an error with can't duplicate object or class.
Scott
Your host should have GD and FreeType compiled in apache.
With Apache? I thought gd and freetype was suppose to be compiled with PHP? I've got a version of PHP compiled with gd and freetype and still gets blank page.
Have you checked it with:
<? php_info(); ?>

zlocka, try CHMODding the CAPTCHA directory to 0777, and see if that solves your problem

I've just had the same error as zlocka.
I did a "chmod -R 777 captcha" and it solved it, though now the error has been replaced with:
"Unable to safe captcha-image."
edit: "Unable to safe captcha-image." message was because I was running on an old copy of the database - oops!
I just transfered my forum today in a new server and found my CAPTCHA not working.
First I enabled the GD Library in my dedicated server, then another error appeared which was about garbage collection. What I did is uninstalled the CAPTCHA, delete the captcha folder and re-install captcha again. Now the pre-install warned me about test failure in ./Sources/ModSettings.php.
I opened the file and found the arrays of captcha still there. After creating a backup of the file and removed the array. I run the install ignoring the test failure and with all permissions set to 777, still captcha was nowhere to be found in ./Sources/ModSettings.php.
So I just restore the ModSettings.php backup and now it's working again. ;)

did that, still just a bunch of blank boxes where the characters should be
Can you provide a link to your forum?
As I already said, I have changed everything changeable, but still the empty picture appeared. No character or numbers where shown with 1.1 RC2 and normal installation through package manager.
So I deleted the CAPTCHA after none answered to my problem.
I just installed this on SMF 1.0.7.
Nothing happened. I'm absolutely sure the mod is installed and applied. And when I go to the registration screen, there is simply nothing new on it, no section asking for a code, nothing.
I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I'm also using the mambo bridge - which however uses forum registration, so that should work I figured?
Any suggestions?
Don`t you turn off smf registration when using the bridge and register through that. ???
It
is set to SMF registration!
Captcha seems to actually partially work, if I try to proceed with a registration, it tells me I didn't type the right code in. But the actual registration page contains only the username, email and password fields. No code field.
If it helps, the captcha directory and its tmp subdirectory are chmodded 777, and I have GD and Free Type:
QuoteGD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
FreeType Version 2.1.4
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XPM Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
any ideas?
how do I install? is it safe for 1.07?? thanks. :)
Use the package manager, and yes it is.

I'm having the same problem as Tinatoth.
Using 1.07 SMF. I am also using Bloc's Themis theme.
I did a compare of the default Register.template.php and the Themis Register.template.php and didn't find any remarkable differences, except for this:
Line 152 - 159
Default; Register v. 1.0:
if (document.postForm.todo.value.indexOf("delete") != -1)
message = "', $txt['admin_browse_w_delete'], '";
else if (document.postForm.todo.value.indexOf("reject") != -1)
message = "', $txt['admin_browse_w_reject'], '";
else if (document.postForm.todo.value == "remind")
message = "', $txt['admin_browse_w_remind'], '";
else
message = "', $context['browse_type'] == 'approve' ? $txt['admin_browse_w_approve'] : $txt['admin_browse_w_activate'], '"; Themis; Register v. 1.0.1:
if (document.postForm.todo.value == "delete" || document.postForm.todo.value == "deleteemail")
message = "' . $txt['admin_browse_w_delete'] . '";
else if (document.postForm.todo.value == "remind")
message = "' . $txt['admin_browse_w_remind'] . '";
else
message = "' . ($context['browse_type'] == 'approve' ? $txt['admin_browse_w_approve'] : $txt['admin_browse_w_activate']) . '";Could this be the problem? I could try replacing this section of code, tho by version number alone it appears that Bloc's is the newer one.
I am using default skin... well, a skin which was based on fefault, but i never changed its register template. It's the same as the original. So... maybe the default template is the problem? I've no idea.
I'm getting this after I installed (SMF 1.0.7)
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare show_captcha() (previously declared in /usr/home/marc/www.short-story.net/forum/captcha/captcha.php:68) in /usr/home/marc/www.short-story.net/forum/captcha/captcha.php on line 67
any clues? this sounds like a really good mod for us, as we're getting a lot of spam bots registering. and as i'm the administrator for the server it's on, i get all the bounces!
I FOUND THE SOLUTION FOR MY PROBLEM!!
I deleted the register.template.php file, and CAPTCHA started working!! Weee!!!
I'm not sure if you can do that too opally, but it's worth a try! Depends on your skin I guess!
Brilliant!!!! You are a genius!
I removed the Register.template.php for my theme, and VOILA! It works!
This needs to be in the installation instructions for this mod.
---Opally
We aren't using the default theme, and I think that's why I'm having a hard time getting this working.
Are there instructions for a manual install?
Randyripoff,
Did you try Tinatoth's suggestion?
Run the package installer from Admin
Remove your theme's register.template.php file
The installer automatically edits several files, when you run the installer it shows you what files are modified. You can install and uninstall a few times to see how it works. The file that is edited is saved with a ~ at the end of the name, so it is easy to revert.
---Opally
What to do, get this message when try to install CaptCha?
failure in ./Sources/ModSettings.php.
Any solution for this? ::)

Great, can't wait either 8)
Just for the record:
This mod is much better as built in captcha in RC3 - has no user friendly adjustment.
On my forum (just upgraded to RC3) the captcha displays the same series of letters each time it is refreshed, albeit varying between uppercase and lowercase and changing the visual appearance. Why might this be?
Because it's set as a session variable... right?

I've released my mod for 1.1 RC3 here:
http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=474
Original mod working perfectly on 1.08 with Midland theme.
OMG.
Brilliant.
HarzeM, I love your MOD better than my own one :)
This mod is not working on my forum. I have installed successfully for 1.0.8 version, but when I click on the register page, I see blank page only.
Since I upgraded to 1.0.9 and CAPTCHA is no longer working. The text saying "Please enter code as shown" appears on the registration screen (although that's probably cos I had to enter it manually into my template), but no code or text box appears, and users can register without the code.
Help?
ok nevermind i reinstalled it. works now.
But still not working for me, Daniel don`t reply for my PM :-[
Little confused here. It was working fine on 1.0.7, but now I'm using 1.0.9, it doesn't put the captcha element into the registration process.
I'm using a slightly customised template, but that's only really changing the headers to match up with the Joomla! site it is a part of, and I switched back to the default template; still doesn't appear. Is it me, or the mod/1.0.9?
Of course, if 1.1 ever gets out of Release Candidate stage, I'll upgrade in a flash... ;D

Hey. Captcha Mod seems to be keeping people from registering as I continuously get these errors and it takes up to 5 tries to register:
8: Undefined index: captchaWrong
File: /home/tarheelf/public_html/Sources/Register.php
Line: 136
8: Undefined index: captchaEnter
File: /home/tarheelf/public_html/Themes/default/Register.template.php (eval?)
Line: 89
Also, the text that should be in my admin center has disappeared. The check boxes and such are still there, but the text on the left is gone. Anyone know what I should do? I'm running 1.1RC2 w/Dilber MC theme. I haven't upgraded to RC3 cause I figure I'll just wait for 1.1 Gold. Thanks.
I there,

An Error Has Occurred!
phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons

5. SMF 1.0.9 and 1.1 RC3-1 Security Patch 1.0.8/1.1 RC3
6. CAPTCHA (code verification) 0.1.1
Thx
looks like maybe phpinfo has been disabled by your host.
Hi,
Looks like an excellent mod. However I am running SMF 1.0.9 and I am not really sure whether that version is already supported.
Yes, SMF 1.0.9 is supported by this MOD.
Hi,
I'd like to use this mod on my SMF 1.0.9 forums, but as other have noted it doesn't seem to install using the package manager. I've tried a manual installation by uploading the unzipped files/folder (maintaining the structure) to the root of my forums and then running the installScript.php file e.g. http://www.mysite.com/forums/installScript.php. This doesn't generate any errors, but also doesn't seem to enable CAPTCHA settings in the Admin Center nor give me any extra bits on the registration page...
I'd appreciate any thoughts that anyone might have on which bit of the puzzle I'm missing...
Dave.
Dave_T, the installScript.php file only adds the CAPTCHA stuff to the database. To actually install it, you need to edit some of the SMF files as well. Upload the package-info.xml file to http://server.daniel15.com/smf_xml/package-info.php?action=file to see what files you need to copy over, and upload the modification XML file (install-SMF1.0.xml or similar, can't check at the moment) to http://server.daniel15.com/smf_xml/modification.php?action=file to see what files you need to edit.

Happened to me too.
I have edited the hn_captcha.class.php by replacing the line
static $gd_version_number = null;with
static $gd_version_number = "2.0.1";I was lucky and there was a gd 2 installed cos things worked ok. If they don't work, try something like "1.9.0"..
Daniel,
Thanks for the advice... in the end I downloaded the zip to my local computer and then uploaded it and applied it with the package manager. It's working like a charm, and hopefully should stop all of the bot registrations that have been happening for a while.
Dave.
Hi,
i install this mod.. and i'm getting this error on registration page..
QuoteThere is no GD-Library-Support enabled. The Captcha-Class cannot be used!
please help me..
SageAttar, that error means that the GD library isn't installed on your server. You'll need to contact your host and ask them to install the PHP GD library for you.
I've had this install in previous versions of 1.0.x and have upgraded to 1.0.10 and now when the mod is enabled there is (2) captcha images and text boxes and users are unable to sign up. If I un-install the mod I still see the text "Please enter the code as shown:" with no captcha image. I have tried deleting and reinstalling but get the same result. Is there a way to fix this? TIA. :)
UPDATE I figured it out. I just removed the extra <tr> that had the extra text box and captcha image. Have a Happy Holidays! :D

or here any other captha mod available that does'nt need GD LIBRARY.. i'm using SMF 1.0.7..
Quotecan i install GD LIBRARY with out the help of my host?
No, the host needs to install it, as it's compiled into PHP.
Quoteor here any other captha mod available that does'nt need GD LIBRARY
I haven't seen any that do this, although the Advanced Visual Verification MOD for SMF 1.1 has a mode that works without the GD library.
I've got a wee bit of a problem.
Everything worked fine, until... Until our forum was hacked. After that everything went wrong.
The first time I fixed it, the problem was simply that they deleted some lines of code. But then... The problems kept coming and coming, and I had to use a backup version of the forum. But now whenever I put captcha on, I get this mistake:
8: Undefined index: captchaEnter
File: /var/www/web21/web/forum/Themes/default/Register.template.php (before sub template - eval?)
Line: 89
When I delete captcha, the registration page works fine, but I can't really do that, because spammers are always on guard.
What can I do?

It is no longer needed - SMF 1.1.2 has its own in-built CAPTCHA system ;)

Even though it is built-in it lacks the issue of handling guests posts.
Any chance of "adding" it with support for SMF 1.1.3?
Yes, HarzeM's "Advanced Visual Verification" adds a more advanced CAPTCHA system, including a CAPTCHA on guest posts. It's only compatible with SMF 1.1 Final, but I'm working on updating it to support SMF 1.1.3. Stay tuned! :)
Nice :D
Good news indeed Daniel15, thank you for your efforts :D
