Obsolete
Please also be advised that I am working on a Version 2 of this modification to add verification questions and CAPTCHA to guest posting!
I'm on a mission from God to kill the spambots and make the botmasters cry!!! >:D
Thank you so much for your pro-active approaches and dedication to the improvement of everyone seeking to enhance not only the enjoyment of our forum members, but even more so to the crews who operate the controls!
Spambots are certainly one of the biggest detractors to peaceful web forum enjoyment. You go bro... squash those spiders with the heel of your boot!
- Mark
I installed it, i wish it could stop that damn spams... Wait and see :) Thx Deprecated ;)
You're welcome guys! (and gals!)
I'm totally committed to this modification, and I intend to address any problems, fix any errors, whatever it takes to make sure that every SMF 1.1.7 forum can use this mod if they want to.
Like any mod package I'm sure there will be problems. I hate the botmasters and their spambots so much, and I like you guys 'n gals so much, that I'll do whatever it takes to keep the spambots away from SMF! :D
Bring it on! :P :P :P
Although I've just found this thread, I can testify that combining a captcha with a question+answer method works very well and reduces the spam-bot load almost 100%
Will be very interested to see the guest posting verification though - especially if it's available as a standalone mod to supplement existing registration verification
(I like small stand alone mods rather than big all-encompassing ones - much easier to debug if they break something)
Gaz
I'm 90% done with the guest posting version of Anti-Spam Verification Questions. It adds CAPTCHA and the exact same verification questions to guest posting too. It will be Version 2.0 of this mod.
The additional changes are to Post.php and Post.template.php. I've got the template work done, but I'm having the devil of a time coding the Post.php changes. Actually, I think I've got the CAPTCHA working there, but my verification questions don't work yet.
I expect to post a Beta test version in the Coding Discussion board because there are so many variations and options to posting (polls, events, etc.) that I can't test them all myself in any reasonable time frame (I don't want to spend 100 hours just testing every combination). For that reason I'm going to request help testing that part of the mod.
I hope I'm not deluding myself, but I think when we put the finishing touches on this mod, including the guest posting, I think the spambots are going to have to go bother forums running other than SMF. :)
Thanks a lot , great modification ;)
First off - fantastic work creating this feature. Thank you.
One small request, and I know it's probably easy enough to add this on my own, but I'm still learning how to edit and work with PHP files....Can you add a comment above the questions telling the users that this is just an anti-bot measure...I just know there are going to be people out there wondering why they need to tell me how many letters are in the word four and if they are human or not. Some of the people who sign up for my forum are a bit older and don't have a clue about all the spammers and bots out there.
-OR-
Could you mention which file and the approximate location of where I would add this comment? I figured just above the first question would be great.
Thanks again for your mod -
Jay
No, you don't understand. There are no prearranged or pre-installed questions. You have to pick them yourslef. Thats why this mod is so strong. It depends on each forum operator to pick their own questions. My examples were merely examples. They are NOT included in the mod. You must pick your own questions, although of course you can use mine if you like.
This mod requires that you MUST program in at least one of your own questions, or you won't even see it asking any questions when members register. This modification is all about you supplying your own questions. That's why it is so unbeatable, because the bot scripts can never adjust to different questions on every forum they want to attack.
Got it? :)
yum yum - looking forward to that - forum relevant verification questions :D
Ooh the possibilities to really have fun with it ;)
Gaz, there are no prearranged questions. You pick your own, whatever works for your forum. I'm just the messenger. You have to pick the messages yourself. Whatever you want! Enjoy! :)
Everybody, please let me know (1) if it works, or (2) if it doesn't, and what the problems are.
This is a new mod. I want to get the bugs out as quickly as possible. Please give me feedback!
It's working fine, I'm just seeing this in the Forum Error log:
8: Undefined index: anti_spam_ver_resp_1
File: /home/choppixc/public_html/Sources/Register.php
Line: 164
Line 164 is:
if ( (!empty($modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ques_1']) && strcmp(strtolower($modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ans_1']), strtolower($_POST['anti_spam_ver_resp_1']))) ||
Based on the errors, I can see every time a bot fails, which I guess is cool

No, I do understand...Maybe you misunderstood my comment.
I know that I need to enter my own questions, and I have...what I was asking about was being able to place some text above where the questions show up saying that "The following questions are for anti-bot measures", etc.
I realized that I need to create my own questions, I would just like to explain to the person registering why they are answering silly questions. A sort of, title to the section.
Got it? :)
Hmmmm I am getting this error when trying to install:
3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Register.template.php Test failed
I went ahead with the installation anyway, no errors, but its not working.
I also already installed the reCaptcha before this. Thoughts? I attached the file.
hahaa
You really are on a mission aren't ya mate!? lol
Good job, you're correct in stating no bot slouch will be able to adjust to the endless variety in questions, because of your mod :)
However, I found that if you have no answer for the answer
eg. "Please leave this answer blank"
You receive this error
8: Undefined index: anti_spam_ver_ans_3
File: /****/Sources/Register.php
Line: 231
As you can see, it is my 3rd question.
The line of code the error points to is
(!empty($modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ques_3']) && strcmp(strtolower($modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ans_3']), strtolower($_POST['anti_spam_ver_resp_3']))) ||
I suppose that line makes no difference, as if it were answer for question 2, or question 1, then it would point to their respective line in that template.
Anyho, just thought I'd point it out.
Great job Deprecated :)
I see a few of the same errors that mashby reported here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1812448#msg1812448). Could someone please confirm that mashby's conclusion is correct? TIA.
(Apologies mashby, don't mean to challenge you; I'm just looking for confirmation.)

Like the image in my attachment yeah?
But obviously your own layout?
You add the text in your languages/Modifications.english.php, and the other edits in your Register.template.php in your default theme.
If you need further assistance, Im sure someone could add code here for the layout you'd prefer, after you've provided the necessary information
Good luck :)
Thanks to mashby, Sabre and forumite for pointing out errors. This modification is pretty complex and I expected to shake out a few errors before we've got it perfect. Fortunately, unless I'm mistaking, other than adding entries to your error log the error is not causing any harm. I don't see any reason you can't continue to use the mod while I fix it, and I hope to fix it later today. Thank you for pointing me to the right problem area.
societyofrobots, please, in the future do not install mod packages when you get test failure warnings. (In some instances you can ignore template errors, but that is only for experts who are planning on doing manual theme edits) Also, do not uninstall mod packages if you get test failure warnings.
I'll add a warning later today: this modification is NOT compatible with the reCAPTCHA modification. They both modify code in the same area. You have to pick one or the other, but the good news is that either mod should be a perfect defense against spambots.
Sabre, yep I am on a mission. I don't even run any 1.1.7 forums myself, but I saw what the spambots were doing to my SMF 1.1.7 brothers, and that pissed me off so much that I spent a couple days writing this mod. I'll be damned if I'll let those spammers mess with my SMF bros! >:D
QuoteI hate the botmasters and their spambots so much,
Can you make it so if they fail it tars and feathers them?
Just kidding....
How about a box, when checked by the admin, if the registration fails, it immediately slaps their spambotbutts right on the banlist.......
Yeahhhhhh........
Dep....Love your work bro!
High 5's to ya! 8)
Mike, it doesn't get much better than this, when I can make my friends happy and make our enemies cry. >:D
Folks, I'm trying to repeat those errors so that I know when I've fixed my code, but I can't make it fail and cause an error. I have a pretty good idea what is wrong, and a few ideas on how to fix it, but I'll really appreciate if somebody can find one way to cause one of those error log entries. That would really help in getting this fixed.
I started a new SMF site, for fun. From day #1 the spambots were hitting it.
I just installed your mod Dep.
No errors so far, installed beautifully.
Error log I cleaned out also. So I'll start with a clean slate. The same spambot , that I had banned, was the only thing showing up in it. From Amsterdam...
Sorry Guest, you have been banned from this forum
:D
I'll give you all the help I can.
;)

Sabre - This is exactly what I'm looking for...just something to tell the user why they are answering some potentially silly question.
Can you give me a bit more code assistance? I just don't know where in the two files you mentioned to add the text.
Thanks again,
Jay
Quote from: DeprecatedI'm trying to repeat those errors so that I know when I've fixed my code, but I can't make it fail and cause an error.
I've also been trying to repeat them, but all I've found so far is:
- They don't occur on successful logins.
- They don't occur if I answer a question incorrectly
- They don't occur if I merely don't answer the questions.
Apologies, you probably already know this.
splatman, I will appreciate if you and Sabre could start a different topic to custom modify your code to whatever suits you. I suggest that you should discuss that in the Coding Discussion board.
Understood. Thought it might be a nice addition to the mod as well.

Everybody:
I have just uploaded a revised modification package, Version 1.01, which should fix the undefined index problems.
I will appreciate if everybody will please verify they are using Version 1.01 of this modification before making any new error reports. It's important for you to provide this feedback because I am not getting any errors on my test site, and I don't have any 1.1.7 production sites so there's just no way I can test this myself to see if it is now fixed.
Thank you everybody for the feedback and please keep it coming in. The Anti-Spam Verification Questions modification is going to be the main focus of my day here, and I'll be reading and updating this topic throughout the day. I intend to fix any new errors as they are found, and I'm hoping by the end of the day (10 hours from now) that we can have this modification stable and error free. :)
Quote from: splatman on November 24, 2008, 10:50:58 AM
Understood. Thought it might be a nice addition to the mod as well.
Thanks for the ideas Jay. I've got my mind dead set on imitating SMF 2.0 as closely as possible, and as far as I know SMF 2.0 doesn't have that. However, give it a few days until this modification has settled down, and I might be able to whip up a follow-up package to add clarification to various items on the registration page, including what the verification questions are, and even including a statement about what kind of password strength is required.
It's just that I have so many things zipping back and forth across my radar that I don't want to take the focus away from the verification questions. I expect that by the weekend not only will the registration verification questions be working okay, but I think I can get the guest posting verification going too.
This is very important because I believe that we can strengthen SMF 1.1.7 to be equally as strong as SMF 2.0 with regards to spamming protection, and I believe if we can do that we will have totally destroyed the spambot invasion at least for SMF forums. That's what God told me to do, and that's the plan! :D
A big thanks.
I'm manually applying the mod. Did all the modified files from the original mod change, or a specific one?
Cancel this request - I went ahead and changed all original files and re-uploaded them. I'll be keeping an eye on the log and will report any anomalies.
worked fine on my test site which is a duplicate of my working site, no install probs what so ever and wouldnt let me register without answering the questions so its doing its job to the letter
good on ya for helping to improve the defences against nobs and there bots - should be standard on 1.1.7 (hint hint SMF team)
Just for clarification, for the folks intending to manually modify their files ....
The instructions to Find: and Add before: (or Add after:) should be interpreted literally. Some mod authors follow the syntax used in the modification.xml file, where <search position="before"> means add the new code after the found code, and <search position="after"> means add the new code before the found code. This has led to confusion in another recent mod-related topic.
No more errors have shown up since using the new (1.01) code, although I've witnessed spam bots unsuccessfully attemptng to register, and I've successfully registered additional accounts as a POM.
Thanks for the news forumite. :) It looks like we have the bugs splatting against the windshield now, but they are having no effect inside our nice forums. :D
As far as that "before" and "after" thing, I usually get it wrong when writing my mod packages, and I always have to try it twice to get it right. One of either me or the person who designed that is out of sync, that's for sure! :P
If we can get a few more reports that the spammers are trying to get in but no errors are getting generated, we may have reached the point where Version 1 can be considered to be error free. I'm updating some of my other mod packages today, but I hope to return to the guest posting verification questions tomorrow, to zip up the last gap and keep these damned mosquitos^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hspambots out. ;) ;) ;)
old bbs joke if you didn't get the ^H stuff ;)
Error free for me. I've observed several "bots" attempting to gain access and not getting in.
Sweet. Looks like that little tweak did the trick. I can see the bots trying to register and they are still failing and no longer creating forum errors in the log!
Thanks!
I just tried to install Version: 1.01 Date 2008-11-24
Compatibility: SMF 1.1.7 and get
Installing this package will perform the following actions:
Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./Sources/Register.php Test successful
2. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageRegistration.php Test successful
3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Register.template.php Test failed
I am being hit hard by spam and would like to end it
Attach your Register.template.php file...I can take a look.
Hi,
Tried to install this on my 1.1.7 system, but install failed on register.php.
I should mention I also have your Anti-Bot Registration puzzles installed, so I don't know if there is interference.
Would you recommend installing both? Or one over the other?
Your MODs are really great... you're making my job a heck of a lot easier and my users appreciate it (even if they don't know it ;) ).
Grazie,
Cal
OK here it is
I think this is the best mod going.
Keeping all the spam out it the hardest part of creating a good forum.......
Thanks. I am installing it now and look forward to future enhancements.
Try this one out...I think you have to click Install on the mod and then FTP the attached file /Themes/default/ folder. Just make sure to keep a backup of your existing files first.
Nope didn't work still getting the same message.
Test failed message? Of course it will fail. You have installed a mod that is interfering with this mod's installation script (avatar on registration). If you simply proceed with the installation (ignoring the warning), you can then manually FTP the file I attached. I assume you have FTP rights to your site?
Oh sorry I thought you meant to upload it first sorry
Ok it is working now thanks so very much! ;D
This mod rocks! Thanks for a wonderful add on! Works like a charm on my 1.1.7 forum. No error reports either!
I just installed this Mod in two forums without any issues (1.1.7)
I set my forums up with 3 simple questions, and I'll report back if I see any issues.
Thanks -
Okay, the problem is install order.
Install in order:
1) Anti-Spam Verification
2) Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles
Otherwise Anti-Spam Verification will not install.
What an easily installed and useful mod. Since I strengthened my CAPTCHA to highest complexity and added a 3yr old ;) age restriction, I have not had a single spambot registration in about 10 days, since I discovered this topic. I just added one question with this mod and I'm sure this will button this down for a while - hopefully forever.
THANKS - THANKS - THANKS

For users who need a little hand holding registering, we provided a walk-through for the registration process - believe it or not, it increased registration dramatically for people a bit uncomfortable with this sort of thing. There we put in the reason why they were asked a couple silly questions. For reference click here (http://northcountycycleclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=138.msg351#msg351) for registration instructions to our simple message board.
First of all, thanks for going to the effort of making this but, when I try to add it to my system I get this:

There is no reason to have Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles if you have Anti-Spam Verification Questions. The Puzzles are a primitive version of the Questions, and since the answers are limited the botscripts could be trained to use them. (Same for "Are You Human?"). The Anti-Spam Verification Questions will vary endlessly from forum to forum and it is this "random genetic mutation" that makes the Verification Questions so powerful.
I recommend running only one or the other, although if you can get both to work together then I see no technical reason why you shouldn't. Some people wear belt and suspenders... Noting that the visual verification plus the questions is already belt and suspenders.

Attach the file named above and list what other modifications you have installed. But first, if you have the Anti-Robot Puzzles or Are You Human, uninstall them and try again. Also, this mod is not compatible with the reCAPTCHA mod.

Thank you, but please hold off the translations until Version 2.0 of this modification is completed. That is the version with guest posting verification questions, and it will require additional strings. For that reason, anything supplied now will be incomplete. Thanks anyway. :)
Ah, it wasn't clear if one replaced the other. I looked at the descriptions and just went with both.
There are two things I would ask you consider:
1) Increase the size of the question field, as I ran out of space to use bbcs
2) Have a way to tell it to display X out of Y questions? So we can create our own list of different questions and not display them all at once.
I'll pull the puzzles, as I like wearing a belt but really dislike suspenders ;)
Quote from: Cal O'Shaw on November 25, 2008, 01:15:45 PM1) Increase the size of the question field, as I ran out of space to use bbcs
Sure Cal, no problem! :)
Please be advised of the release of Version 1.02 which has increased the question length from 40 to 60 characters.

I guess you're asking for rotating questions or random N out of M questions. I'm sorry but that would be very complicated in terms of coordinating the template and execution files, and I don't feel that the added complexity would present any additional barrier against spambots.
THANK YOU! For the past 2 weeks, our forum has had new accounts popping up originating from E.U. as well as Russia advertising sex and other random BS. My moderators have been watching new accounts show up and playing cat-n-mouse with these spammers. Although we've managed to stay on top, it gets tiring when it happens every day. This Mod has been one of the best ever.
You're very welcome quattro! :) You should always remember that wherever there is evil there are forces for the good who will fight that evil and overcome it. :) All I want is people like you to be smiling, and people like the spambot masters to be crying. :) I hope that somewhere on a spammer message board they are crying and whining that SMF 1.1.7 is no longer an easy spammer target. :)

ditto ;)
No spammers registered today on either forum - Thanks for such a great mod!
great mod
(Doubt spambots know too much about VGames...)
I was having maybe 6-8 requests per day from these jokers. I updated to SMF 1.1.7, installed Anti-spam verification questions, and increased the visual verification image to high. Haven't had a request to join since (installed early yesterday).
{{crossing fingers}}
Oh, I appreciate you producing this, so I figure anything you do is a benefit to us all. Besides, I like batting .500 :)
I think we're about ready to move to the next level: locking down guest posting. I wish I had that before I upgraded my last production forum to SMF 2.0. Gawd, those spambots kept my Gmods and admins busy, but since we've upgraded to SMF 2.0 we haven't had any spambots bother us even in our guest posting area.
My goal here is to give SMF 1.1.7 the same protections as SMF 2.0. Although guest posting is probably not a good thing for most forums, at the forum I'm referring to we enjoy discussions with our philosophical opponents, so we welcome any and all guest posts as long as they aren't cellphones from China or pr0n or something like that.
Guest posting is actually quite a lot of fun and I want to open up that possibility for 1.1.7 operators who have chosen to wait for the mega-2.0 release.
I've got the posting template completed (Post.template.php), and I think I've got the visual verification for guest posting also okay, but my last test I couldn't get the verification questions to be checked and pointed out as erroneous (problems with coding the changes to Post.php). I hope I'll get to look at that tomorrow, and I have a topic started in Coding Discussion where I hope a few SMF members who want guest posting will help me test it. I intend to add that to the current mod, so perhaps in a few days or a week we can expand this modification to encompass spambot-free guest posting too.
After all, if you can do it with SMF 2.0, why shouldn't you be able to do it with SMF 1.1.7? I gotta admit, SMF 1.1.7 ain't as purty, and many features were majorly updated in 2.0, but I can certainly understand why many have chosen to stick with the 1.1.x branch for the time being. You shouldn't be penalized for that. That's why I've gone to the extra effort to make so many of my mods work with SMF 1.1.7, even though I don't run any 1.1.7 forums myself.
So let's kill some more spammerz, eh? :D
I have a site that has Guest posting and is getting hit by Viagra (not in a good way). I'm all aboard any testing you may need done. It's on 1.1.7.
Could somebody please test having no answer as the correct answer please
eg.. Q= Leave this answer blank A=
I'm still getting the same error as reported earlier, after reinstalling my forum off my recent backup.
Thanks :)
Based on what I remember from version 1.0, a spambot will leave the field blank. So it's best not to have a question like "Don't type anything here" as a bot won't type anything there. You would be better suited having it say "Type beer in this field".
I've never allowed guests to post- they can only view about 25 % of the forums.

Ahhh finally!!
I was beginning to think everyone was ok to grab the assistance, but couldnt give a stuff to check if a bug needed squashing!! lol *mumbles at selfish 1.1.7 users lol ;)
Well, my question is still unanswered, but a half answer is better than none lol ;)
Thanks mashby, I thought it would be the otherway around, where the bot would be forced to add something.
Thanks for the info :)
I dont use that question, but tried it on the old and new version, and got errors in the log.
Cheers for the reply :)
i so hope i can get this to work. the spammers are destroying my board. i'm getting hundreds of requests to join daily. when i install the package from the admin area of my board, i get "test successful" on first four files, and skipping file on last three. then i install mod. then i standby while it goes to registration settings. but there's no questions there. the registration settings looks exactly the same as before. what could i be doing wrong? i'm running 1.1.7
You have to go to Admin...Registration...Settings...Enable verification questions, and then write at least one question/answer thing.

yeah, that's what i'm saying. there's no 'enable verification questions'. the settings page looks exactly as it did before the install. method of registration, age restrictions, etc. but nothing to indicate the install actually took place.
Strange.
Look in your ManageRegistration.php located in your sources folder, and check that the code has been inserted correctly(although it should've been).
If you're not comfortable with manually editing code, then attach your ManageRegistration.php to your next post.
Cheers :)

what's weird is i have two manage registrations "ManageRegistration.php" and "ManageRegistration.php~ " . The anti-spam verification is in the "ManageRegistration.php~" file.
what do you think i should do?
The ManageRegistration.php~ is the softwares backup of ManageRegistration.php...
Copy the code for this mod from ManageRegistration.php~ to your ManageRegistration.php.
I would suggest that you copy that file and remove the ~ so you can just replace your ManageRegistration.php template, but I have no idea what mods you have added then removed, that may also be in that backup template.
Maybe none, maybe some, lets take the safer option and just copy the code over ;)
sorry... i had that all ass backwards. the antispam install WAS in the ManageRegistration.php file, NOT the back up.
so looks like it should work.... but it doesn't. i don't have any mods installed. i've attached the file as you suggested. thanks for helping me.
No problems buddy.
Im in the middle of recoding something and running tests, so wont be able to look at this for a bit.
Someone else has grabbed your file, and hopefully they will assist you before I am done.
If not, I will be back in a few hours.
Cheers
Howdy!
This looks like a great mod! I've been having a lot of trouble with spammers. I have guest posting enabled in my "Recruitment" forum, but it attracts a lot of spammers.
Can't wait for release of 2.0.
I'll be happy to help out with any testing once I get home from work.
Keep it up! :)

Nice mod, install went smooth and easy, no errors.
I added 4 questions and tested it. It all seems to work.
Only now i have this error in my log:
8: Undefined index: anti_spam_ver_ans_2
forum/Sources/Register.php
Line: 165
I prefer a clean error log, so do you have an idea how to fix this error?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: It seems like the mod doesn't like blank answers in my questions ( i used your 3 example questions). I guess that went wrong. :)
hahaa
Im not sure if you are aware or not, but you have just answered [THIS] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1815849#msg1815849) for me.
Thanks mate :)
I was thinking I carried over the bug from the first installation/version of this.
It is recommended to have an answer for each question anyway.
@ coffee
Sorry for the delay, I had my mates show up with a shhhh load of beer and we went sk8n at our local. My thumping head is regretting it lol ;)
Anyho... there is nothing wrong with your file.
By what I see, this mod should be functioning as normal.
So to cover all avenues, you see nothing at all of this mod?
I mean there are no text boxes to type in?
Or there are, but there is no text?
Could you take a screeny of your settings page please?
Admin >> Registration >> Settings
I understand youve explained this, but before I hand you to the MA(mod author) I want to make sure we've covered everything, and he can refer to our notes/posts
Cheers :)

hi,
I just installed this mod and works great but I can't find settings under Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings when logged in as admin (i did get an admin page for this mod while installing though). I checked ManageRegistration.php and the settings function is there with antispam code etc. ?
best regards, gos
Hooray for Deprecated, you are the SMF Knight In Shining Armor!
Anyway, I tried to install it (automatically) and the install was sucessful, but the settings never showed up under Registraiton > Settings. As a result, I have taken the Mod out for now since I can't seem to configure it.
I am not sure though if this is a theme issue and if I need to add some additional code to some of my theme's templates?
I am running Themis and SMF 1.1.7
Any thoughts please?
The mod only affects the Default theme. The mod page (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1516) will show you what code to change in the template(s) unique to your theme.
Thank you forumite. Marvelous. I got it working now and works great. Goodbye Spambots!!!!
Love it!
Congratulations Marc.

What did you do differently, as others are experiencing the same problem.
Hello i receive error in 1.1.7 in Register.php
(http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/6040/snap1se1.th.jpg) (http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snap1se1.jpg)
Maybe the prob is from " Are You Human? Anti-Bot Registration Check 1.3 "
This is allready installed in my forum.
This the others mod in my forum
(http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/5289/snap2ou1.th.jpg) (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=snap2ou1.jpg)
And this is my Register.php
You got the error because another mod has touched that area first.
No big problem :)
Just install the mod even though it has displayed the error, then upload the attached template.
Let us know how it went.
Cheers
@ nstarz
That error has nothing to do with this mod package.
Please direct your question to the correct thread, which is located [HERE] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=203437.0)
Cheers, n see ya there ;)
Quote from: SabreWhat did you do differently...
Marc manually edited the code in the Register.template.php template in his custom theme. The other templates changed by the mod are common to all themes. The mod installs to the default theme, and therefore changes the "wrong" Register.template.php template if you have a custom theme.
The mod page has instructions on what code needs to be added or replaced in which template. The same information is in the modification.xml file included with the mod although, in this case, the mod author switched the syntax in the instructions on the mod page - see
this message (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1813547#msg1813547).

Yes, I understand quite well the workings of custom themes etc.
I'm referring to the quoted statement, as Register.php is located inside of the sources folder, and is therefore called for by any theme.
I don't see how modifying the Register.template.php of a custom theme fixes this, so I am asking how it was achieved.
What does your link have to do with my question?
Sabre,
Sorry if I inadvertently stepped on your toes.
The discussion went like this:
- Marc reported his problem here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1820163#msg1820163)
- I responded with what I thought was his problem and the solution here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1820171#msg1820171). It wasn't rocket science since Marc mentioned he was using a custom theme, and the mod changed the Register.template.php in the default theme, not in marc's custom theme.
- Marc thanked me and said it worked here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1820190#msg1820190).
- You asked what Marc did differently here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1820476#msg1820476).
- I explained what he did (assuming he followed my suggestion, which he apparently did).
QuoteI'm referring to the quoted statement, as Register.php is located inside of the sources folder, and is therefore called for by any theme. I don't see how modifying the Register.template.php of a custom theme fixes this, so I am asking how it was achieved.
I didn't see Register.php mentioned in any of the messages I responded to.
QuoteWhat does your link have to do with my question?
Nothing, but it does have relevance to my suggested solution which Marc used and for which you asked for an explanation.
Mate, I'm simply asking a question and youre not stepping on anyones toes :)
Anyway.. back to his original problem that has been sorted.
Did you read his comment I quoted?
That is a problem many people have been experiencing, and you will see that by reading the last couple of pages, so there is no need for me to link you to them.
Now Im asking how, as I have thought for that area to be modified from the Register.php, but I may be wrong. :-\
To make it clear, it is the area in your admin panel >> Registration >> Settings that people are having problems with.
As Marc had previously stated, and I had quoted.
Here it is again, incase somehow you missed it
Quote from: Marc Marc on November 29, 2008, 10:54:29 AM....the settings never showed up under Registraiton > Settings.
Anyways, I'll have a proper look when I have time.
Dagnabbit!!
As I suspected, I was looking at the wrong template.
Thats all I needed to know!!
@ coffee
You could either upload your themes Register.template.php and I'll edit it for you, or you can make the edits yourself.
Sorry for not looking in the right area :-[
Too many long nights and codes arent a worthy excuse.
Cheers for the hint marc ;)
Glad you figured it out Sabre. No need to apologize.
I just fired up a test forum under v2Beta4 and checked out the registration panel. I don't see any difference between 1.1.7 and 2b4 (unless I missed something to turn on or a MOD). I get the feeling that when 2.0 goes GA, the spammers will come after it because it's not worth trying to crack right now and we'll need something like this.
Nevermind... duh!
Quote from: forumite on November 29, 2008, 07:59:18 PM

So am I.
Thanks for your help ;D
Cal,
Hopefully I'm not misunderstanding your question.... In SMF 2 you access the anti-spam features via Admin|Configuration|Security and Moderation|Ant-Spam.
QuoteWhat did you do differently, as others are experiencing the same problem.
It looks like forumite answered your question already and it looks like you are already sorted now, but for others who still might be having the same problem, yes, I modified the Register.template.php in the Theme folder of the custom theme I am using.
The code that I added came from the mod's page itself. To generate the code you need simple go to the mod page here: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1516
Then where it says "Manual Install Instructions for SMF " choose your version of SMF. Then when you click "Submit" it will take you to a new page containing alll the code you need which you can copy and paste into your custom theme's Register.template.php file.
That's it. Bob's your uncle.
Attached is a screen shot of the registration screen on my forum now with the 4 questions I setup in case anyone is curious to see.
Nice job explaining the detail Marc.
Sounds like you figured it out Cal.
Quote from: forumite on November 29, 2008, 10:07:58 PM
Nice job explaining the detail Marc.
Cheers forumite. I am so thankful for this mod. I was getting heaps of spambot signups everyday and now they have gone back to none, at least for the time being.
Aye Marc, we all owe a big thanks to Deprecated for this one.
Sorry for super noobish question (but since support PMs are not allowed, I am forced to show my little competence to all).
Downloaded this mod to my site's forum (v. 1.17) directory. Unzipped. Everything went Ok, no error messages. Then entered my admin panel - and nothing new was found. Reloaded the page-nothing. Tried to exit site's control panel, the re-enter forum admin panel - nothing.
It's my own mistake somewhere, but I can't found - where?
[THIS] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1820958#msg1820958) post may assist you
thanks, question answered.
My pleasure. :)
If ever you need any assistance with any modification, just ask, and someone will help you.
Good luck :)
Only installed the forum tonight to try to learn a bit more so it is a clean install. I am having the same problem, successful install of this mod but no option to set questions. Although I am not using a custom theme do I still need to modify Register.template.php to get it working.
Alan...
Hey there Alan.
Now that's a strange occurance.
And you have looked in your Admin >> Registration >> Settings area?
Since you are using the default theme, it should naturally be there.
May I look at your register.template?
Cheers
This Mod has ended my spam problem - completely! :D
IMO, this mod should be incorporated into the next stable release as an option available to Admins, it's that good.
Great job Deprecated !

Hi mate, can you edit your post and delete all of that code please.
When you go to make your next post, you will see something stating Additional Options... to the bottom left corner of the box you type into.
Click it.
Then look where it says Attach, and click on browse.
I need you to attach your Register.template.php located in your default themes folder.
Then we'll go from there :)

Well even with the other post, I have to say thanks for the mod, I put it in place and I'm hoping it helps. I killed registration all together because I simply didn't have time to play missile command with incoming bots.

You cannot download or install new packages because the Packages directory or one of the files in it are not writable!
It's clearly a Linux permission problem but not sure where.
Alan...
Is there a possibility your host has safe mode enabled?
Im not quite sure about it, as I've never experienced this before, but I recall users not being able to install mod packages, because their host had that enabled.
I thought it would mention that in the/an error message, but as stated, Ive never had that experience.
@Phaeton - make sure that you have a folder in your Packages directory titled "temp" and that it is CHMOD to 777, then try installing another mod.
[Already suggested] (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=276309.msg1824987#msg1824987).
Should have tried [THIS] (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=724) also.
Right created a folder called temp, changed it to 777 & then proceeded to install the mods both went through testing & gave me the option to install. Both claim to be successful but neither appear to have made any differences, there is no place to add questions & no last logon time (not sure where this information is displayed) got last activity in members profile if hat's it.
Alan...
Will this Mod work with version 1.1.2?
@Phaeton - The settings for this modificaton are located in Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings.
@doGnation1 - It was written for 1.1.7. You can give it a try, but as you know, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to 1.1.7.
i read the post by Deprecated and i'm sorry to see him go. seems like it was a slight misunderstanding/communication problem. happens a lot at my job too *sigh* i hope things can be worked out.
Sabre, if you have time i've attached the reg template from my custom theme. i only added the code from the antispam verification but i'm still not seeing the questions in my admin settings. is there anything else i need to change to make this work?
again, thanks for everybody's help.

so what exactly did you change besides adding the antispam part?
ok... now i really want to know cuz i tried modifying a board on a friend's site with the same theme and it didn't work : (

I have 3 test sites as my live ones have different coding/structure, so often I have to test large/complex packages out on all 3.
I used to manually add the code, but now, thanks to Deprecateds idea, I just repackage all of the mods I install.
So no more little mistakes lol ;)
i just have to say thanks again to Depracated and Sabre.
today was the first day i didn't have 50+ new members attempting to join.
all it took was one simple question in the registration field.
it really works! and i am so happy.
this should be included standard in all future smf versions!
Hello
I want to say Thanks to Depracated for this amazing anti-spam bots.
I have a suggestion. You should add a function to this mod. there should be 8-10 questions options and it should randomly choose 3 questions for registrations. it'll create more trouble for spambot.
and I want to tell you that BBC codes are not working in questions, what should I do?

Quote from: Deprecated on November 25, 2008, 01:40:08 PM
I guess you're asking for rotating questions or random N out of M questions. I'm sorry but that would be very complicated in terms of coordinating the template and execution files, and I don't feel that the added complexity would present any additional barrier against spambots.
Hi there!
Many thanks for the mod!
Running SMF 1.1.7 with language "German" I encounter just one problem with the mod: In the settings no settings labels are shown. Can I fix this somehow myself?
Cheers,
Luka
@Luka.P. - most likely you will need to translate these text strings from ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php into German.
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ans_col'] = 'Answer';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_coppa'] = 'COPPA';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_descr'] = 'If you want users to answer verification questions in order to stop spam bots you should setup a number of questions in the table below.

$txt['anti_spam_ver_ques_col'] = 'Question';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_title'] = 'Verification Questions';
Hello,
I use this Mod and no problem for installation.
Mainly ... everything is OK , but
But BBcode not used on the questions themselves.
I can use <u> but <color=red> don't display the word in red :(
Some idea to fix ?
Thanks
I am having trouble installing it. I can't seem to get it to work.
A little more information please mate :)
Did you have any errors when installing it?
Are you using SMFs default theme, or another(custom)?
Is it only a certain area where you do not see any change?
etc... etc...
The more information you provide, the easier it is to assist you.
Use [THIS] (http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?topic=494) as a guide :)
I installed it but got code errors at the top of every page!
Actually, every page now reads:
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ans_col'] = 'Answer'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_coppa'] = 'COPPA'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_descr'] = 'If you want users to answer verification questions in order to stop spam bots you should setup a number of questions in the table below.

Somehow, even after I uninstalled it, it still reads this.
It got inserted above the HTML code.
Could someone tell me where to find this to remove it?
We were really hoping this would solve our recent Spam problem. We were hacked last week and fully restored.
Now, we have this.
I appreciate any suggestions or help. Thanks so much!
The Daily Appreciations Team
So the mod is uninstalled yes?
Then go into your Modifications.english.php in your languages file.
Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php
Right at the bottom you will see this
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ans_col'] = 'Answer';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_coppa'] = 'COPPA';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_descr'] = 'If you want users to answer verification questions in order to stop spam bots you should setup a number of questions in the table below. You should pick relatively simple questions. Answers are not case sensitive. You may use BBC in the questions for formatting. To remove a question simply delete the contents of that line.';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_enable'] = 'Enable verification questions';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_failed'] = 'You did not answer the verification questions correctly.';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ques_col'] = 'Question';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_title'] = 'Verification Questions';
Remove it, then reinstall the mod.
If it occurs again, go into that same template, and you will see the above code is placed before ?>...
move the ?> to the bottom of the page.
Good luck :)
That worked like a charm SABRE!
Thanks so much for your help! It is invaluable!

On this first image, there is my setup screen. Question are, of course changed for simplest sample and english readable :)

All the installation I made was really step by step as the 'howto' installation process.
The add I made is copy the 'English modification file' to 'French' copy/paste and rename it anything else.
So, please, where is my error?
up !
Hi mate.
This is a problem noone has addressed yet, and I havent even looked at why it wont parse.
Someone with more knowledge may look into it, but since its of no priority for myself, I wont even nurture the headache lol ;)
But until then, Im afraid there is no answer for you...... yet
Just installed the mod and everything went smoothly.
Although I had quite a number of themes on my site, I need only to edit the register.template.php and modifications.english.php files of just a couple.
Thanks to Deprecated for such a fine mod.
I just tried to install this mod and got this message:
Some of the files the package manager needs to modify are not writable. This needs to be changed by logging into FTP and using it to chmod or create the files and folders. Your FTP information may be temporarily cached for proper operation of the package manager.
I have no idea what that means or what I'm suppose to do.
If I wanted to do this all manually, would I just put the codes in my files in the places the manual instructions point to?
And where do I ask my questions?

Hello,
I use this Mod and no problem for installation.
Mainly ... everything is OK , but
But BBcode not used on the questions themselves.
I can use <u> but <color=red> don't display the word in red :(
Some idea to fix ?
Thanks
So, some more details:
On the registration page, anti-spam question could be "make-up" with BBcodes !
On this first image, there is my setup screen. Question are, of course changed for simplest sample and english readable :)
(http://dnl.eisfi.net/Pictures/erreurs/error%20BBcode%20not%20display%20n%20not%20used%2001.png)
The result is not as I expected :
(http://dnl.eisfi.net/Pictures/erreurs/error%20BBcode%20not%20display%20n%20not%20used%2002.png)
All the installation I made was really step by step as the 'howto' installation process.
The add I made is copy the 'English modification file' to 'French' copy/paste and rename it anything else.
So, please, where is my error?
up
I finally figured out how to install this on my test forum, but want to install it on a forum for my sub domain but I keep getting this error message:
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
I tried downloading a new zip file but got the same error message?
Sheryl
I'm getting this errors while trying to install the mod.
1. Execute Modification modification.xml Modification parse error
2. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
3. Execute Code add_default_settings.php
I believe it's because i just moved from a share hosting to a dedicated server and the settings aren't the same.
Any idea?

You need to use your ftp program and change that file to 777.
I don't know how to do that but I read a tip on installing mods that said to change my permissions under >>Package manager>>options to make all file writable.
I did that and got in installed on the site I was testing it on, but now I can't get it installed on my sub domain site, which is the site I mainly use.
It says the file might be corrupted.
Sheryl
I'm trying to do this all manually instead but I'm not sure where I'm suppose to add the last instruction that says:
Code
add_default_settings.php
What about 2.0 version ? :)
Is there any ETA or news about it ?
Captcha for guest posting will be much apreciated addon for this mod :)
I managed to get this installed on two boards. One board I really don't use but every day there would be between 2-4 applications for new membership, which of course were just spammers. I haven't had one application since I installed this mod so thank you for creating it, however, now with the release of 1.1.8 and 2.0 RC1, I hope you'll update it so it works with both of those updates.
Sheryl
Thanks for this mod! Working great, I haven't had a single spambot after installing this.
Normal humans have less trouble registering because visual verfication isn't required any more.
Hi
This mod seems to be working well. Saves us having to implement highest level of visual verification, which even humans have a problem reading.
One problem however. It says that
QuoteYou may use BBC in the questions for formatting
. However, this does not work with the [color] code.
Any suggestions?
Also, I am getting a lot of these errors in the error log.

It installed fine for my 1.1.8 too, So that double confirmation.
I am running this on several sites. All 1.1.8 and this is just great. I was getting bombed with smammers and this mod has put an end to it flat out.
Thanks to Deprecated for this great mod.
I just wanted to say thank you for this mod. Some joker from Venezuela is hammering my forum with a registration bot and guess what, its not working! ;D ;D
Thank you again.

I am having an installation problem. I am getting the following error during package installation:
Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.
It is failing on step 3:
Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Register.template.php Test failed
I am running SMF Version 1.1.8 with the following mods:
SMF 1.0.16 / 1.1.8 Update
reCAPTCHA for SMF
Any hints for what I am doing wrong?
David
I am new to this forum as well as to the simplemachine application. I apologies if the question is elementary level.
I downloaded the Anti-Spam Verification Questions for SMF 1.1.7 I am using SMF 1.1.8. I unzipped the file and copied it into my /forum/Themes/default folder I am not sure if there is anything else I need to do since I cant find any other insructions. I am unable to see the settings for this modification in Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings.
Can someone please guide me through the steps?
Thank you in advance.
Henry
Did you try installing it using the package manager in admin controlpanel?
Take a look at: http://docs.simplemachines.org/index.php?board=49.0;sort=subject
Thank you for your responds I didnt relize how easy it would be.
Great Mod. Thank you. Seems to be working great.
One question. Where the find the questions that I assign (eg - what year is it?) is it possible to add some small text below it? Something like this:
What year is it?
We are asking these simple questions not to keep anyone out — except
the spammers and forum bots. If you need help with these questions, please
contact the Administrator here.
Thanks again for the great mod.

@ ddrager
You will need to manually add the code required for your Register.template.php.
If you require any assistance, then attach that template here please :)
@ Magicjax
In your Register.template.php, search for this line
<b>', $modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ques_1'], ':</b>
and directly beneath it, place this
<div class="smalltext" style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">', $txt['reason1'], '</div>
so now it looks like this
<b>', $modSettings['anti_spam_ver_ques_1'], ':</b>
<div class="smalltext" style="text-align: center; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">', $txt['reason1'], '</div>
Then in your languages folder, find the index.english.php and add this to the bottom before this ?>
$txt['reason1'] = 'We are asking these simple questions not to keep anyone out — except the spammers and forum bots. If you need help with these questions, please contact the Administrator here.';
You can change that text to anything you'd like, I just used what you added here.
That should accomplish what you've requested. :)
I did something similar awhile ago on one of my sites, it looks like this

Sorry folks for the double post, I've just now played with this, and didn't want it to get mixed up with the previous.
I will combine both posts if deemed inappropriate :)
Now this is regarding those that have a problem with the bbc function of this mod.
This is a rough hack, and is only what I'm using.
Someone with better/more knowledge than I may provide a better solution.
Find this in your Register.template.php

Will this package work with 1.1.9?
Yes...I had a sucessful install and tested the registration for 1.1.9

Just to confirm, did you simply upgrade via the Package Manager and it all worked fine? Or did you do a manual upgrade?
It does appear to update the ./Themes/default/languages/index.english.php file, which the mod affects.
Anyone else update to 1.1.9? Any issues with this mod?
Thanks.
I did a manual upgrade and it doesn't work for me with 1.1.9. I use the swedish language.
I can see my verification question in the admin controlpanel, but when I go to the
registerpage I can't see the verificationquestion.
I have done the manual upgrade twice now, so I don't think I have done anything wrong...

Hi Theuser
Hmmmm. If you can't see the question in the register page, perhaps the index.english.php (or rather index.swedish.php) page has been overwritten? I'm guessing that's where the questions are drawn from I think.
I wonder if the best option might be to do an auto-update for SMF and then apply the mod manually from scratch? Or at least the index.language.php part of it? At this appears to be the only page that is affected by the update (as far as I can tell).
Just a thought.
That's what I might try anyway.
OK, for what it's worth, I ran the auto update to 1.1.9 (from 1.1.8 ) in the Admin section and all appears to be working perfectly. So far, I haven't had to touch the Mod installation.
Edit LOL, I tried posting (from 1.1.8 ) above without the space after the 8 and got this (from 1.1.8)
Actually, I don't know what I was talking about up-thread. :-[
I don't think that the index.language.php file is used by this Mod, so it makes sense that the auto admin update would work without a problem.
Thank you for your answers!
I have now solved my problem. The problem was when I copy and paste the new php-code in my
document. For example, this code doesn't work:
'anti_spam_ver_enable' => isset($_POST['anti_spam_ver_enable']) ? 1 : 0, 'anti_spam_ver_ques_1' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_1']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_1'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ans_1' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_1']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_1'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ques_2' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_2']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_2'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ans_2' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_2']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_2'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ques_3' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_3']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_3'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ans_3' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_3']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_3'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ques_4' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_4']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_4'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ans_4' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_4']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_4'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ques_5' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_5']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_5'] : '', 'anti_spam_ver_ans_5' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_5']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_5'] : '',
The same code, but with breaks works:
'anti_spam_ver_enable' => isset($_POST['anti_spam_ver_enable']) ? 1 : 0,
'anti_spam_ver_ques_1' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_1']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_1'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ans_1' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_1']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_1'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ques_2' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_2']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_2'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ans_2' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_2']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_2'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ques_3' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_3']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_3'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ans_3' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_3']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_3'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ques_4' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_4']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_4'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ans_4' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_4']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_4'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ques_5' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_5']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ques_5'] : '',
'anti_spam_ver_ans_5' => !empty($_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_5']) ? $_POST['anti_spam_ver_ans_5'] : '',
In my "old" document the code was in a long row, but now with breaks, it works. Strange?
Rotary? as Random
I'm simply amazed at how easy it is to use SMF. I installed the Mod with such ease! Thank you thank you thank you.
does anyone have any tip of good verification question that i can use? :)
Simple and obvious is always good ;)
You could have questions like
1.) What colour is this text?
2.) Type the name of this site
3.) How many questions have you just answered?
Asking questions that anyone could answer would work.
Hope this helps a little :)

Thanks a lot all, this is a very helpful post and software ;D
The update to SMF 1.1.10 appears to affect a few files that this mod deals with. Has anyone had any problems doing an auto update in package manager from 1.1.9 to 1.1.10?
Or do we need to update SMF and then re-apply the mod manually?
Files affected that I can spot are;
/Sources/Register.php
/Sources/ManageRegistration.php
Themes/default/Register.template.php
Any others?

I just came across an interesting issue with this mod.
My question was:

I reentered the question to remove the quotes and it works fine. Just thought you should know.
Ok cool, thanks for the share .. ;D
Still a great mod! 8)
So lets try this again...
I had SMF 1.1.10 installed and this MOD installed with no issue.
Now that I have Upgraded to SMF 2.0 RC 1.2, I have this uninstalled but it still shows up in my theme and default themes. How do I go about uninstalling it all?
Here is what I have done...:
1. Deleted package through Package Manager
2. Gone through manually to find any edits whatsoever to delete them from the files that it lists that it would modify through the Modification.xml
Anything else that you can think of? I want to do a clean install of this but I want to uninstall it first completely.
Lets hope this does not get deleted...
This is a 'standard' feature within SMF2, that was turned into a mod to provide the same function for SMF1.x.x users.
So since you have manually removed all of the code this mod injects, it is possible you could be seeing what SMF2 offers ;)
AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!
Dang it....
I found it! Thank you, I feel absolutely retarded!
lol Mate, we all miss a few things now n then ;) especially when coming from smf1 to smf2.
So now you can see that it is infact standard! lol ;) Sorry, just read your post before you edited it, so had to rub it in a bit. lol
Glad you got it all sorted mate :)
Soooo. Anyone tried SMF 1.1.10 to 1.1.11 yet, using the package manager?
It will install fine for smf 1.1.11 :)
I want to add this MOD to my forum(v1.1.10).
If i am correct, i think i should run the file "add_default_settings.php" standalone, meaning www.myforum.com/add_default_settings.php.
From where should i get the code to "add_default_settings.php"?
Yes you are correct :)
But only if your are manually installing the mod, otherwise it will execute normally if installing it via the Package Manager.
That code/file/template is within the package when you download it.
Hi. First of all thanks Deprecated for this mod. It seems that it spam has finally stopped. I have a forum about pets which young children use and was having nude pics and videos posted!! So fingers scrossed this will stop them!
However I have noticed thousands of errors in the logs. Don't know if they are related to this mod... maybe it's the bots trying to spam the forum... but the errors are also on my username. I am receiving around 5 error messages ever 2 seconds!
These are the types of errors....

You'd have to open a thread in the smf1.1.x support board buddy, so the tech guys can get into it asap.
I have never had the uncomfortable pleasure of being hacked, so have not walked through or needed to clean my sites.
Good luck, the techies will sort you out :)
I just did...fingers crossed!
Thanks for your help Sabre
My pleasure mate :)
I'm gonna watch your thread also.
Fantastic job.
It took me a while to figure out the installation but one I understood to download the ZIP file and point the package manager to that zip file, it installed. I DID have two SMF ERROR 500's but the third time it worked fine.
Thanks
Tombstone
Great MOD.
I have one suggetion. If any of the answers to these questions are typed wrong, then a message like An Error Has Occurred! is shown. It maybe confusing to the members.
Instead, it will look good if a message something like this is shown. the answer for the verifications question is incorrect.
Do we have any work around for that?
I'm having problems installing this package because I've already installed the reCAPTCHA mod and it makes changes to ./Themes/default/Register.template.php
I could install this package manually, but I'd prefer to use the automated install.
Does anyone know what, exactly, the install is choking on? Maybe it's possible to make changes to modification.xml so that it can install overtop of reCAPTCHA.
Indeed.
Look at the edits reCAPTCHA makes to your Register.template.php, then change the install location for this package in your modification.xml.
If you require assistance with that, then attach your Register.template.php.
Good Luck :)
Hello,
I have similar problem. I have Stop Spammer v 2.3 installed, and there is a bug when I install Anti-Spam. I have similar bug when I install reCAPTCHA, but even if I make the changes manually, I get same error.
(http://www.artigames.com/Temp/foro.jpg)
Any guess where is the problem? Thanks.
Please, any help with my problem? At least do you know which is the file with the problem? It could be ManageRegistration or Register or Register.Template. I guess it is ManageRegistration, but I can't find the problem neither.
Could you explain what the "bug" actually is?
If you mean there is no text showing, check that all the language strings were added to their appropriate file(s). eg. Modifications.english-utf8.php
If you use a language other than english, add the strings to that/those files aswell.
See if that helps
Shame on me!!! :-[
Yes, I am using spanish. Sorry about that and thak you.
It is always my pleasure to help, and do not apologise for learning something new :)
Enjoy :)
awesome mod!
I use version 1.1.11
I installed the mod (thank you)
I executed the add_default_settings.php file.
Everything went smooth.
I can go to my admin account and see the new "verification Questions section"...But when I fill in one question with an answer and hit save...nothing is saving and it goes back to blank....I tried then registering a test account and nothing happened...
(PS. I only changed the /Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php file....
I couldn't find any other language file (ie /Modifications.english-utf8.php...or British... in my downloaded version of smf ! ).
Another question I have about the add_default_settings.php file ...Do I need to delete it at the end of the process ?
Thank you.
So you manually installed the mod correct?
If so, did you add the 'add_default_settings.php' to the root of your forum, where the packages, avatars and sources directories are?
Then executed it by going to h**p://YOUR SITE.com/add_default_settings.php? (thinking it maybe this template that hasn't been executed)
Double check the edits made to your templates in the sources directory.
Dont worry about the other language templates if you do not have them.
And yes, remove the add_default_settings.php when you are done.
sorry for wasting everyone's time.
It turned out that I forgot to modify the " ./Sources/ManageRegistration.php" file.
Everything looked good except that I couldn't save the questions...
My bad !! :-[
Thank you again...great mod !!
Mel
I would like to say thank you very much, we have been plagued with the bloody spam bots and the mods on our site requires us to start over with V2 so it will be some time before we can move over.
From one programmer to another, thanks for the time spent creating this mod!!!
Kind regards,
Rudi
Greeting all; first time poster, all around n00b ;)
I've got SMF 1.1.11 installed, been having a field day deleting Spam registrations, thought I'd try this mod. Got a "Don't proceed unless you like shooting yourself in the foot" warning, scrolled down and found the following:
Installations actions for "Anti-Spam Verification Questions":
Installing this package will perform the following actions:
Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./Sources/Register.php Test successful
2. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageRegistration.php Test successful
3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Register.template.php Test successful
4. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english.php File not found
5. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php Test successful
6. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english_british.php Skipping file
7. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english_british-utf8.php Skipping file
8. Execute Code add_default_settings.php
I assume this is a consequence of the theme I'm using? Is there a simple moronic fix I can apply?
Thanks in advance
Howdy champ, Welcome to SMF :)
Most modifications from the SMF 1 branch Only install on the default theme, and manual edits are usually needed for it to function correct on a custom theme. Just a little note to remember ;)
Did you remove or rename your Modifications.english.php to Modifications.english-utf8.php in the default theme? Either way, it is clear that it is nolonger there, so you could either copy your Modifications.english-utf8.php template, and rename it to Modifications.english.php(providing it has all of the default strings/code within, which it most probably has), or download a fresh copy of SMF 1.1.11 (http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_1-1-11_install.zip), and upload the file from that package, then add the code any modifications have added to your Modifications.english-utf8.php.
Either one of these steps will prevent that error from appearing in future Mod installations.
Enjoy :)
Great mod! Thanks so much! It was exactly what I was wishing for. I wish I had looked for it sooner. :-)
Really appreciate it.
Just as an FYI, the spammers have gotten around this mod ages ago.
It needs a serious revamp to become useful again.
It should offer the option of allowing custom questions to be easily added.
Great mod thanks :)
cheers
How to integrate this in Contact Page mod?
I asked author of Contact Page, he told me to add Anti Spam V Q code in Contact.php and Contact.template.php.
Which code I need to add?
I attached Contact Page mod.
Thanks
Excellent mod!
I've been running SMF for two years now (currently using version 1.1.11). I tried using activation and medium CAPTCHA to keep the spambots out, but that didn't work. (I judged high CAPTCHA as a bit too difficult for users.) So I next tried banning the spambots after they registered. I found that bans by e-mail and username were useless (they are semi-random). Bans by IP address and hostname were only modestly effective, as the spambots constantly harvested new IP addresses from compromised user PCs. And I had over 200 ban rules. They also used lots of proxy IP addressess. The result was about six intrusions per day that I had to deal with. As Deprecated said, it's like playing an arcade game of whack-a-mole.
After searching this forum for help, I found this mod, and installed it. I've been running it for a week and a half, and so far not one spambot has gotten thru! It's unbelievable. At first I thought the registration process was broken, so I went to a relative's house and tried to register them - and it worked fine. :) Failed registration attempts don't even clog up the log file.
So my deep thanks to the author, Deprecated, for this excellent mod which saves so much of my time. In fact, in today's spambot environment, I would go so far as to say that SMF 1.1.11 is no longer really viable unless this mod is installed. Other spambot mods (e.g., Stop Spammer) may stop known spambots, but this one stops known and new spambots.
Don
maihannijat, maybe the edits for Register.php and Register.template.php.
Give that a try.
Quote from: Don Peters on August 11, 2010, 11:31:19 AM
Excellent mod!
Totally agree. Although I'm using SMF 2.0 RC3, which has this feature build in, this method works best of all!
I hate captcha. It's difficult to register, and most spambots have no problems getting thru.
Using your own verification question is the most effective way of stopping those stupid spamscripts.

I'm getting this problem too, can anyone tell me a work around to make it more like Srinib suggests? I've got people emailing me saying they get a blank error and they want me to setup their account for them. Would be better if this was fixed.
Also if they just hit back and try to re-answer the questions it then says username in use already. But if they hit register again then the username is available.
I can only agree with Don Peeters, every day I had to check a list of new members who mostly where registered by www.stopforumspam.com.
With this more than excellent mod they can not pass the questions which normally trough humans easily could be answered and give no problems at all only these pain in the neck bots and spammers
Thanks Deprecated this mod should be standard INTEGRATED in smf it is simple, clean and mean and the dutch translation was easy to perform.
And by the way mission accomplished would I say great work !!
Hello,
Could someone please give a step by step set of instructions for installing this mod since there are none provided in the download nor is there an automatic install .exe?
Thanks
Hi and welcome to SMF :)
This is for the SMF1 branch, as it is a standard feature in the SMF2 branch.
So first download the package, then go to your site and click on the Admin button.
Click on the Packages link, and then the Download Packages link.
Click on the Browse button, and select the downloaded Package, then click Upload.
A page will show you if it installed into your forum correctly, and if you received no errors, click on the Install button.
It will now be integrated into your Forum.
The settings for this modificaton are located in Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings.
If you see any errors on installation, it means the code it is searching for to install has been modified, so you can use the manual installation instructions located [HERE] (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1516;attach=77435;smf_version=1.1.11) to fix the templates which had the error, or to manually install the whole mod.
Good Luck :)

This verification program has certainly stopped the spambot attacks. I still average 10 spambot visitors an hour but the registrations and flooding the site with spam and porn of every imagination has been knocked in the head and abruptly killed. Unfortunately and unhappily the spammers are still out there unpunished.
I never felt so violated or so vulnerable in my life.
I wonder how many people have simply closed shop and abandoned the internet as a result of these attacks?
This leads to the next question. After manually deleting the worst offenders I now have 5000 unwanted members lurking in the background with one or two logging on every hour or two. Is there a way to ban them, and collect their data in mass, without having to manually ban and delete 5000 of them individually? I wish to purge my site of this filth.
Thirdly is there a way or place to send my ban list to anti-spam combaters?
Thank you Sabre, you are a very kind and generous person.
Mr. Nemo
My pleasure Mr Nemo :)
You could install [THIS] (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1547) modification, and if your spammers are listed on the "stop forum spam" site, it will show you.
You could also add more that you find to their list.
I would suggest Emailing the site owner to manually register you to their site(stop forum spam) if registration is closed, so you can undo any members you've accidently(it does happen) added to their list.
The mod author would be able to answer your question of mass removal of spammers, as I'm unsure of the complete function of the mod. I've only briefly read through the thread.
I hope this helps you with your problem(s).
Good luck buddy, and always continue to ask whenever you have a question :)
Cheers
You will have to manually update/modify that template.
About this going off topic, we'll just delete the posts when we're done(as you can see I have done above).
I'm unsure of others that have had this issue, as I nolonger bother with the smf1 branch, but could you attach your subs-package.php, and I'll have a quick look before dinner.
Sorry, had to leave for a few hours.
Subs package attached.
I'll delete off-topic stuff tomorrow (getting late here).
Thanks again.
Sorry mate, my son arrived into the world, so have been busy.
Will try and get to it later tonight.
can I use this mod with my forum which has been updated too 1.1.12 I am only new at this stuff and my forum is fairly new but am sick of bots today I had 6 or 7 try and register I have turned of registrations for now till I can find a way to stop this. it is getting too me big time.
@ destalk
Looking at your template, you will be able to overwrite your old, with a new copy from the smf1.1.12 package.
@ jacqpinks
Yes, it will work for smf 1.1.12

Thanks Sabre. I overwrote the file manually and then ran the updater in the Admin area. All went fine.
And congratulations!
Thanx heaps I have it activated and working lets hope no more bots lol
I couldn't remember how to install mods worked it out now that my brain has rested and can activate registrations now
Congrats on you're new family addition
Glad to be of assistance to you both.
And Thank You :)
Thanks for the awesome mod! I'm using 1.1.12 and so far no errors in my log, I did a test registration and it worked fine.
Lets hope that it catches the annoying spammer that has been plaguing me for the last week. It's a brand new forum with 8 actual members, but I keep having to fight off spammers already, my registration count is like 21 or 22, so I've got my fingers crossed that this is the solution! ;)
I want to install, but one of the files I must edit, I dont have.
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php
now what?
If I can get this working id gladly donate at least $5... perhaps 10. :)
OH, for 1.1.7? that would explain it. im using 1.1.12. guess it wont work for me? :(
If that is the only error, then install it buddy. That file is only a language template, and is not fundamental to the function of this mod.
To cease that from happening again, copy your Modifications.english.php and rename that copy to Modifications.english-utf8.php.
I just installed this mod today but I am having a problem. I am running SMF 1.1.11 and according to what I read, it should work.
When I tested the mod, I filled in all the blanks, user name, etc. but when I attempt to register, I get a message saying I didn't answer the questions correctly. I tried it 4 times, still got the same message. I have no idea what I did not answer correctly. How would the mod know the correct answer to start with since there really isn't one - or did I miss something? I am attaching my reg form so perhaps you can see something I missed. Any help is appreciated.
You set the answers to the question in the Admin control panel, most likely the registration settings. You would need to do that along with entering the questions.
I got it working - was a booboo on my part. I just now installed it and put in the questions. I tried to register and so far, it looks good. I just have to wait for maybe 30 min and another bot will hit me. If it works, I won't get anymore bad ones! Keeping my fingers crossed!!!
Thanks everyone for the help.. :)
Great. Glad you got it working. Good luck with the bots. :)
Silly question but is there a language pack for this mod? Swedish??
Thanks,
Todd.
While I don't believe there is a language pack, I wonder if it is not possible to simply write the questions and answers in the required language ?

If knew where to look I would translate the title and simple instructions that are installed with the MOD.
Of course I can write the questions and answers in Swedish, but the title and simple instructions are not visible due to the language pack that I'm using.
Todd.
If anyone needs the translations to Swedish, I updated my Modifications.swedish.php with the following information:
<?php
// Version: 1.1; Modifications
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ans_col'] = 'Svara';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_coppa'] = 'COPPA';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_descr'] = 'Om du vill svara på verifikation frågor fär att få stopp på spam borde du ha ett par frågor i rutan nedanför. Du borde ha ganska lätta frågor. Det spelar ingen roll om det är stora eller små bokstäver. Du kan använda BBC ifall du vill. För att radera en fråga markera frågan och radera.';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_enable'] = 'Ta på verifikation fragor';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_failed'] = 'Du svarade inte på verifikations frågan ratt.';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_ques_col'] = 'Fråga';
$txt['anti_spam_ver_title'] = 'Verifikation Fråga';
?>
Thanks to the creator of this mod, it's working as it should and now there is text in Swedish. 8)
Cheers,
Todd.
I'm running SMF 1.1.13 with the Anti-Spam Verification Questions for SMF (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1516) mod.
What's the easiest way to add a validation question to the login screen?
Or probably better, add a two-step login process, where you type your username and password, and it takes you to a second screen that asks you a validation question.
Currently, my validation question is stopping 99% of the spam bots from REGISTERING at my forum, now I'd like to add the same question to the LOGIN process to stop the current random bot attacks.
It would probably annoy some of my users, but I think they'd get over it.
I just recently attempted to install this mod on my forum and recieved the following failure when applying the mod:
Sources/Register.php Test Failed
I also tried to just go ahead and finish the installation and the option to add questions in the registration settings was available and the questions showed up on the registration screen, but I was able to get through the registration process while answering all the questions incorrectly.
Is there some modifications I need to do to my template to get this to work properly?
I am running SMF 1.1.13
i am a new user to SMF and have just installed 1.1.13
and want to install this Mod
but
i am getting a package manager error (The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF).
i looked at the manual installation instructions and they look pretty intense
help please
thank for this great mod. works like a champ
Hi,
I just installed the mod from my package's and then opened it and I see where it says questions and answers. I also noticed where you said we may use BBC codes in the questions. So hate to ask this but do I need to put codes in the questions or do I just ask the questions here and leave the answer block empty for my members to answer the question in?
Jill
you have to provide the question and the correct answer and the members answers will have to match yours.
example:
What is 3+7 answer=10
when a new member registers, they dont see the "10" but if they type anything other than "10" they are asked to try again.

Hi, I'm new to this forum and to SMF. I recently inherited an SMF forum to manage and I've been having trouble trying to install this mod.
The forum runs on a webserver that does not have FTP so I followed the instructions to manually install the mod for 1.1.13.
The only files I couldn't update (because they don't exist) were:
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english-utf8.php
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english_british.php
./Themes/default/languages/Modifications.english_british-utf8.php
I successfully ran the add_default_settings.php script after making the mods.
My issue is that when I log in to Admin > Members > Registration > Settings I do not see any options to add or edit questions. Am I looking in the wrong place?
I wanted to have the Yes never as default selected in version 1.1.13 when random answers is configured, don't know about if others want it as well, here is the code for it in Sources/Register.php:
// Shuffle the Answers?
if ($modSettings['are_you_human_a']) {
while($txt['are_you_human_answers'][0]==='Yes') {
shuffle($txt['are_you_human_answers']);
}
}
Thanks for the terrific mod. I was moving to progressively more and more aggressive anti-spam tools, to the point that many real users will being blocked. A combination of honey pot and your pluginwith some stupidly easy to answer questions has kept the spam at bay just as well as before, but made it massively easier for legit people to register for my site.
Thank you very much :)
what a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful mod! i have used smf for like 2-3 years now, and am currently on smf 1.1.14 (but contemplating moving to smf 2.0 snc its now gone gold). recently, there seemed to have been a sudden uncontrollable surge in spam posts on my forum and i'v had sleepless days n nights deleting spam posts and changing passwords in some instances. i had a hectic time lookin for a mod that cld handle this and i tell u...this mod was incredibly easy to install but incredibly efficient at work. thank you so much guys for this mod. love you all much! ;)
I also have seen a dramatic increase in the bots, but since I installed this mod, all is quiet on the Western Front. :)
This mod is the best! :)
I really want to use this mod aswel..
in combination with my "stop forum spam" mod...
but on the register.template they both edit something in the same place...
can someone tell me how to implement this mod into my register template?
without losing stop forum spam?
(or would "stop forum spam" be unnesacarry after this mod?)
need a version for SMF 2.0
2.0 got this built in....
see configuration > 3th option > verification ... :)
Thanks - this was just what i needed after a huge spamwave 8)

Having some problems with this mod and IE. Basically what happens is when you try and register through IE, answer all the questions correctly, it goes to a white page with this "Your request timed out. Please retry the request. ". Any idea how to solve it?
QuoteHaving some problems with this mod and IE
Am using this mod (with great success, 1.1.14). Just made a test-account using ie9, no problems (even with ie security & privacy set at highest levels).
1st of all (unless you've tried this already) try registering from a few different pc's running different ie versions and see if you can replicate the problem. If not, the suspect is some configuration on the actual pc showing the problem.
I installed this about a week ago, and guess what, no more spam. I love it thanks!
I would love this for SMF 2.0 final.
It's already available in 2.0 final, don't need a mod :)
Thanks for this. I've seen a big jump in bot registrations lately and it's been a real pain sorting out who's legit and who's not. This stopped them dead in their tracks. I'm running 1.1.14 on IE with a custom theme and had no trouble with install or use, though asking registrants to leave a box empty did result in an error in the log of "undefined index" for that particular question field, but the registrations still went through no problem on the member's end. Just a quirk that doesn't seem to affect actual registration in any way.
Amazing! But, i cant use it......... 2.0

I dont see it in the Register. I am confused.
Admin > Security and Moderation > Anti-Spam > Number of verification questions user must answer
(0 to disable; questions are set below)
Use the area below that to set up the questions and answers and remember to change the 0 to the minimum number of questions you need/make.
So, all of the sudden in the last week I have a few spammers getting through. . .
I have 2 questions, and the answers are not supplied anywhere, and they are specific to my websites content (about a movie series) it ask. Don't see how these people are getting through, unless there is some way for them to see the answers....

Spammers are getting cleverer. If it's actual people doing the spamming, there's no real way to fully block them.
Thank you very much. This was easy to install. It is easy to get through by new registrants. I no longer need to personally approve new members, of which only 1% were human until installing this mod.
Please update the mod for 2.0.1.
QuoteAdds SMF 2.0's anti-spam verification questions to SMF 1.1.7.
No need for installing this mod on 2.x :)
Thank you very much for this mod.
SMF 2.0 has this functionality buildin by default.
omg spammers were PUMMELING my board. i was getting at least 30 spam registrations per day. i've had your mod installed for 24 hours and was able to go back to automated registrations. so far it has stopped those spam bastards dead in their tracks. not only is the mod working great, i also appreciate how easy it was to install. thank you SOOOO much for this!
I have the same question as fullmetalgirl. We're using the Stop Forum spam mod on SMF 1.1.15 and after I successfully install this Anti-Spam Verification Questions mod, I don't see the set up info for questions in the Admin/Members/Registration.

I really want to use this mod aswel..
in combination with my "stop forum spam" mod...
but on the register.template they both edit something in the same place...
can someone tell me how to implement this mod into my register template?
without losing stop forum spam?
(or would "stop forum spam" be unnesacarry after this mod?)
Thank you SOOOOOO much for this mod! It's saved my sanity after dealing with months of spam registrations that were reaching 80+ per day. Installed and have not had 1 fake registration attempt.
It seems that i get an error when trying to apply this mod. Anyone knows how to apply this mod manually? Or anyone knows how to add a custom question for registration like this mod does?
Thanks!!!
Well, go to the mod's page, select your version of SMF and hit 'Parse' and it will show you all the changes that should be made, to be able to manually install it.
Though it's a bit hard to do any more than give you vague advice given how vague your question is... what error?
Starting on late November 14th, my forum started getting hammered with spambot accounts that successfully got past my registration questions (from this mod). Judging from this post (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=490789.0) and others around the web, I'm not the only person who got hit.
I've been successfully using the Anti-Spam Verification Questions mod for a couple of years with only the very rare occasional spambot getting through (presumably with a human helping it to answer the questions).
On November 14th through the 16th I had about 75 spambots register with my forum. Annoyingly, I was on vacation and didn't find out about the problem right away. I have since manually banned them all and a bunch of different IP ranges and hostnames that some of them had in common, but my main concern is that they must have somehow done something to circumvent this mod.
I have registration disabled for now, but am curious if anyone else experienced similar problems. This mod had worked great for me to prevent spam signups up until last week...
Yup. My place got hit too. 75? Ha. You got off lightly. The whole spam wars thing is always an arms race, and humans can easily answer the custom questions that will be used. What I think they are doing is using humans to scout prospective target sites and recording the answers to the questions, then turning the bots loose with that information. They seem to have blitzed the place for around 48 hours, then moved on.
I'm not that worried. If I see them acting up again I'll do what I did this time: put registrations on admin approval, let the bots stack up in admin, then IP and/or domain and/or email ban the sods at my leisure. None of them made it as far as posting, and I now have better defenses due to the extra bans.
Have just installed on 1.1.16. Tests were successful and installed without error. But, no changes to Admin - Members - Registration - Settings page (image after installation attached). Has anyone been successful with 1.1.16?

Works very well here (stock 1.1.16, no other mods or themes), let's hope someone can come up with any help, it's a mod one definitely would want to work.
btw, what a GREAT mod. 1000's of bots locked out, all spam problems gone.
Are you going to release a version for 2.0.4? I had this mod on 1.1.18 and it was truly awesome. The only thing that kept the spammers at bay. My upgrade is getting slammed with out it.
Thank you very much!
Um, it's a built in feature in 2.0? Admin > Configuration > Security and Moderation > Anti Spam.
Is something like this available for 2.x ?
It's built in to 2.0, see Admin > Configuration > Security and Moderation > Anti-Spam.

My respect for SMF 2.x has skyrocketed.
Then you realise that there is a bunch of mods that don't require *any* file changes at all to make them work... new in 2.0 ;)
Exactly... However, is it possible to only enable these verification questions during registration?
It appears that if I give guests permission to reply to threads, they have to fill out these questions again. It makes the whole situation uninviting and bulky :-\ In addition, they need to be filled out again when guests search the forum. I only want the visual verification to show up in situations like these.
If you have a concern about SMF 2.0, please ask in the 2.0 support board, not this mod's support thread.
I'm trying to apply this mod to 1.1.8 - the tests at install are successful, but the forum homepage shows:
Quote$txt['anti_spam_ver_ans_col'] = 'Answer'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_coppa'] = 'COPPA'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_descr'] = 'If you want users to answer verification questions in order to stop spam bots you should setup a number of questions in the table below. You should pick relatively simple questions. Answers are not case sensitive. You may use BBC in the questions for formatting. To remove a question simply delete the contents of that line.'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_enable'] = 'Enable verification questions'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_failed'] = 'You did not answer the verification questions correctly.'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_ques_col'] = 'Question'; $txt['anti_spam_ver_title'] = 'Verification Questions';
at the top of the page above the banner?
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong would be appreciated.
Do you mean 1.1.18?
As this is a rather old mod you would be best to look at the more newer mods which are available.
open your modifications.<language>.php file and find the ?> and move it to the very end of the file.
Thanks Old Fossil - I did mean 1.1.18. One of the previous posters in this thread still thought that it worked well with this version.
Illori - that has sorted it out. Thanks!
good day: Is this mod still being supported?
I have Anti-Spam Verification Questions 1.02 installed on 1.1.19 and have recently run into a situation where it was pointed out to me that the same verification questions are asked on each registration.
The point being if a bot master spotted this, the could easily program the bot to just answer the questions correctly.
The point that was made to me that IF this mod had the ability to "hold" 10+ questions and then randomly pick 2 to use at each registration it would do a lot to thwart the bots.
Is this mod cpable of such, or is there one that does so?
QuoteThe point being if a bot master spotted this, the could easily program the bot to just answer the questions correctly.
And if you do the same thing in 2.0 where you don't give it enough questions, it's going to do the same thing. This is not a problem for the mod to fix, IMO.
In any case, I'd *strongly* suggest you plan on an upgrade for SMF 2.0. SMF 1.1 is not going to be supported forever (and we're going to stop supporting it sooner or later)
We randomly change the questions - it's easy to do. Even changing the order of the questions would probably fool the bot.
The bots really aren't that stupid. We already know the bots can solve math questions and some have shown the ability to query Google for answers too.
That's perhaps true, but we were experiencing between 300 - 1000 spam registrations per month. With this mod it dropped to 50 registrations, of which perhaps 3 were suspicious, so to us this mod was a sanity saver.
Oh, sure, just saying that randomising the order is not nearly as big a deal as people think it is.
Note that 2.0 has this built in ;)
I'm considering the upgrade, I'm still just a cowardly crusty cat :)

Do what the same? Enter five questions and answers? I dont see any other option.
what could i do differently?

No, in 2.0 it's done much, much better. You can put in x questions (no upper limit), and tell it to show y questions from the list, where y is any number up to and including x (e.g. you can have 3 questions and demand 1, 2 or all 3 be answered)
But if you were to put in 5 questions and ask for 5 to be answered, that's what would happen - the same as this mod.
Seeing how the mod hasn't actually changed in 5 years as far as I can tell, I doubt it will be updated now to change how it works.
ah, ok, will it randomize in 2.0?
Um, yes...
Hi folks! I'm just catching up after taking some time off for what people who don't write code or run forums call "life."
First of all, this mod package was written to port back some of SMF 2.x functionality to help the spam problem for SMF 1.x users. If you have SMF 2.x there is no need for this mod. That is why there is no SMF 2.x version.
And bad news for SMF 1.x users, I have dropped support for SMF 1.x because it required double the work to write new mods and update current mods, including the need to have two test forums, one for each of the major SMF versions.
Your options are (1) manually install the mod, or (2) upgrade to the latest SMF 2.x version.
Summing it up, I no longer support SMF 1.x and this mod package is at end of life except for those who are able to install mod packages manually.
Is anybody willing to test this mod on SMF 1.1.19? I don't have a SMF 1.1.x test forum anymore.
It's not version locked so there's no reason you can't install it if you want to. If you get any warning messages during installation do not proceed!
Please post in this topic if you decide to test it. Let me know either way, if it works or if it fails. If it works I'll update the Mod Site page for this mod.
Im running 1.1.19 and have Anti-Spam Verification Questions 1.02 installed an is running fine so far as i can tell.
Id come to this thread initially looking for a way to randomize questions and was lead in the direction of upgrading to SMF2.x, which i plan to do.
Yeah, we're hoping to officially mark 1.1 end of life sooner rather than later (this will happen with 2.1 going stable)
I'll be pleased when SMF 1 is end of life, discontinued, not supported. It's not for my sake concerning updating mod packages for SMF 1, it's for their sake because SMF 2 is just so vastly better that they're missing out on tons of new features and a much easier to use forum.
I'm a mere member on some SMF 1 forums (meaning they have no idea I'm involved with writing SMF code) and I get really frustrated at some of the stupid things you have to do there that are easy to do on SMF 2. Just to pick an example, posting an image.
I'm sure they have their reasons for not updating but I'll be surprised if there's more than a very small few who won't love SMF 2.

Thanks for the update! I'll go ahead and mark it okay for 1.1.19. That means pretty much it's for all SMF 1.x versions.
I've been updating mods today and so far other than changing the readme file, copyright notices, and removing the outmoded carriage return characters I've found only one mod that needed any code change at all, and it was only about a dozen characters in one line.
Go ahead and upgrade to SMF 2.0.7 when they release it. You'll love it!
I got this when I tried to install it on 1.1.19.
An Error Has Occurred!
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
I got that as well...
Well, I suspect it really needs tweaking or version emulation to work on 1.1.19.
On the other hand, it's built into 2.0 and don't forget that 1.1.x will be unmaintained before long (it's 8 years old and there are things that won't work properly on newer servers)
Update: The source zip is built wrong for 1.x. The files are under a folder in the zip, so just rezip without the folder. Installed ok and is working on my 1.1.19 forum.
I don't support SMF 1.x any more. It's time for SMF 1.x forums to move to 2.something. I killed my last 1.x test forum years ago.
