Ok, I've updated the mod. It is available for download again. Please inform me about any issues you have. And if it is not a big deal for you, please put a sample image here (I want to see whether it creates good images without certain libraries), or put a forum link so I can see myself.

Works like a charm! Thank you! Much better than the previous. Is there any way to set it to be visible with dark themes or different color themes? It it seems out of place when it doesn't match the theme color. I have a black background and the only setting that comes close to looking good is the "random colors" but it is harder to read.

Firefox 1.5.0.7

What must I do ?
Thanks

It doesn't have french support. It automatically installs itself to the english language files. You should open index.english.php, navigate through the bottom and copy the string block to the corresponding french file. So it will be able to work in french.

how easy would it be for me to use this with rc2 i only want it on the reg page...
im thinking of uploading the Subs-Graphics.php from rc3 upgrade and just editing the reg template and reg source file and the ManageRegistration.php then running the script...
would this way work on rc2 ?
i know there is one made for rc2 already but i have the blank reg page issue with that one and searching around there dosnt seem to be a fix :(
if it is alittle harder to add to rc2 because of a database upgrade with the new rc3 will there be a rc2 version of this released for people who dont want to upgrade yet because of the amount of mods they have on there board ?
i do all my mod changes by hand so just a brief description on what would or would not work would be fine :)
what ever your answer... congratulations great mod that has came just intime to stop all the new breed of spammers appearing ;)

Harmez,
Texts have been added to the language file and now I have the option botton in admin/registrery, but in "Visual Verification" panel, when I click on preview, there is no image (there is one if I choose english as language).
The path (display with Web developer tools bar in Firefox) is :
Src=http://familleben.lespages.info/forum/index.php?action=verificationcode;rand=7814b2b72b24f8d2603096d61a6ef189;bgtype=0;size=0;chars=3
Is there something else to do ?

@ Craig:
I can't guarranty that it will work perfectly. But this would be what I'll try:
* Copy the subs-sound.php of rc3 to your forum, and sound folder in the theme directory.
* Replace Login.english.php file of your forum with rc3 one.
* Edit register template and source file according to the changes that the mod suggests for rc3. You won't be able to find all codes, but try to find the places where the codes are supposed to be, then play with them a bit.
* install the mod, ignoring the warnings on the flies you've edited.
* You don't need the subs-graphics file.
Of course, you may mess everything up, so create backups of the files you've edited.
If it doesn't work, I don't know how to imitate rc3 behavior :) I'm not planning to create a mod for RC2, because it doesn't have built-in sound support. My mod doesn't create sound functionality, just modifies the current one. But the mod totally replaces graphics functionality.
@ micaug:
I have no idea why it won't display it in your forum. I have a Turkish version of the mod and it works without problem. Have you translated the strings, or just copied and pasted?

Open Verification.php and find:
$background_color = array(234, 237, 243);
$foreground_color = array(64, 101, 136);
Then change the RGB color values to something you want. use paint or photoshop to detect the colors for example. I think this will work:
$background_color = array(68,68,68);
$foreground_color = array(200,210,220);

Can you open Verification.php, find:

replace:
// header('Content-type: image/gif');
Then visit http://familleben.lespages.info/forum/index.php?action=verificationcode;rand=bfcc361cc6179ed113088a973420ac2a

UPDATE: worked like a charm thank you very much saves me alot of time on upgrading and can now wait a bit longer 8)
Your are the absolute man ;)
on thing i did do was use the rc3 reg template, rc reg source code and the rc3 managereg as none of my mods effect these pages... added your englesh lang to my modifications english lang and edited my index.php by looking at where the code was in the rc3 one.
all working as ive just done a test reg hope someone else finds this useful who is in the same position as me... love the sound option very cool.
thanks again... dont allow guest posting so didnt need the post part and my search is open to members but may add the feature to the serch also and open that up :D
one thing as spammers usually hit and run with one post it might be a great idea to add it to new members with under say 5 posts also :)
Great mod and a BIG THANK YOU for your help ;)

Also, when it asks for your FTP password, why don't you type it?

R3v3ng3, create a folder named "temp" under "Packages" folder, CHMOD it to 777, and upload an arbitrary file into it so that the folder is not empty. Then reinstall the mod.
micaug, I could see the problem after installing two languages. I could see no reason, and I'm shocked why it resists to work with the second language. But I have a temporary solution:
Open index.php, find:
add after:
So that it will emulate english language just for the code.

Open index.php, find:
Code Select
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');add after:
Code Select
if(isset($_REQUEST['action']) && strpos($_REQUEST['action'], 'verificationcode') !== FALSE)
$language = 'english';
So that it will emulate english language just for the code.

Ok, found the real problem but I have no idea how to solve it. You are using French UTF-8, and after you copy and paste the language string to french file, you are not able to save it to french language file properly. This is also the case here. If I don't paste anything to turkish file, the image works. But when I edit the turkish file, the code stops working. I need to find a way to save the file properly.

HarzeM,
My problem is solved.
I reloaded the french-utf8 langage pack and copy your part at the end.
I don't know what was wrong in the preview package. I think I download it from the french SMF forum.
Now I am using the parckage from the official site and your package is working properly.
Thanks
Michel

Also I've seen that there is a problem when saving UTF-8 language files. When editing, I was not able to save the UTF-8 files properly. Here is the solution, if anyone else needs:

HarzeM, would it be possible to port this mod to SMF 1.0, or is it dependant on some of the features of SMF 1.1 RC3? (I haven't looked through your code yet)...
Otherwise, nice work! This one is heaps better than my one ;)

Hi daniel :)
This mod is dependent to RC3 in terms of sound system. If I was to make this for 1.0, there won't be any sound support. Also I can't include the sound within the package, because it will be a distribution of current SMF code and would be illegal.
Except from the sound system, this is totally independent of default RC3 captcha. But of course the package tries to disable the default one, so it will give errors if we try to install it on a non-rc3 forum.
I'm not planning to make a 1.0 version, should I? I've never worked with 1.0 series, so I'm a bit reluctant actually.

I was trying to port it over myself, but I got stuck in Register.template.php, at the template_admin_settings() function (which doesn't seem to exist in SMF 1.0).
By the way, did you code the whole of Verification.php yourself? Even the bitmap functions (showBitmapImage)? The bitmap functions look awesome, to say the least :D :o.

Actually 1.1 final is not so far, thus there will be no more 1.0 forums. This makes me reluctant. I prefer writing new mods for 1.1 instead of working on 1.0 mods.

Yes, whole file is my own work. showBitmap image is my favorite, it can create images without GD or FreeType! :D I've written some Visual Basic code to read bitmap fonts from photoshop bmp images, then convert them to php arrays. Then rotate them via trigonometry techniques from calculus classes etc... Then the bitmap image comes out. It was fun when coding and nice to get positive comments :)

I have installed the mod and everything installed great. the box is checked to enable visiual verification. however the mod doesn't show up when i make a new register. Also, this might not be this mod, because i can go to Registion>settings> and add an age and it also doesn't appear in the new registration page. so, i am thinging that this might be a permission? I am lost and have unistalled and reistalled three times.

hey here is whats happening. I am using SMF as a wrapper in Joomla!. When i go to just the SMF site without Joomla it is working, but inside Joomla it is not. So, it sounds like a Joomla Conflict??!!?? If you have any ideas what is causing this i would appreciate it. TAOT.

Figured it out i will post my findings here:
it was in the SMF bridge into Joomla. the SMF Compontent>Configuration>Registration>set to use SMF Registration (not SMF Bridge).
PS. Thanks for this mod. Good Work.

Advanced Visual Verification Mod
by HarzeM
This mod replaces default verification code system of SMF 1.1 RC3 with an advanced system.
Only Works for SMF 1.1 RC3 !
- Ask image in registration
- Ask image in guest posting
- Ask image when a guest or a member searches the forum
- Ask image when sending personal messages
- One image can be valid for more than one searches or PMs!
- Put an upper limit of failures
- Block users by defined minutes when they reach maximum failure limit
- Select one of the three image types and backgrounds
- Select image size
- Select number of characters
- Generate effective images even if your server doesn't have GD installed!
- Generate effective fontss even if your server doesn't have FreeType installed!
- Logs failures in error log.
You can modify the settings via
Admin > Registration > Visual Verification
Please vote and comment on this mod if you like it!
Newbie here. Is there a mod like that for SMF 1.0.7?
I assumed like all top blogging software (typepad, wordpress, blogspot, etc.)
SMF would have post moderation standard a long time ago. After all, being able
to preview postings for moderation is essential to counter spammers
that attack forums and blogs with spam bots and "spam monkees" that manually
post porn, viagra, and alike.

I'm not able to install the mod. I'm sure it's something simple that i've overlooked; so I'm hoping I can get on the right track here. I'm running SMF 1.1 RC3, having coverted from a phpBB2 board a couple of weeks ago. I'm able to unzip and upload all files to the /forum folder with no problem; however, when I attempt to run the install via browser, all I get is a blank page and no install.
Like I indicated, I'm probably overlooking a step; and I'm sure when I've resolved this I'll feel fairly foolish.
Edit: BTW, there are no other mods currently installed.

Hehe, SMF is not phpBB :) In phpBB, you should unzip the package, read the readme, appy the codes or upload the files one by one.
In SMF, just go to "Admin > Packages > Download > Browse" and browse the zip. You don't even need to unzip it or upload via FTP!
Can you chmod your default theme directory to 777?

Maybe have the option to allow them to log back in early instead of waiting?

I just installed this mod because the users were complaining that the default captcha was difficult to read and get properly. The mod is working great with the exception being that the Visual Verification link doesn't show up in the Admin > Registration module with the Themis theme (http://www.bloczone.net/smf). I can switch to the Core Default theme and the link is there. I can see that it is attempting to build it, but it is unable to display the text for the link:

I was hesitant having a vision issue myself but this mod beats the default in RC3 by far and no complaints yet. ;)

I have installed this mod and it works fine except for one thing.
When I log in as admin and I try to edit a post done by a guest,
when I try to save the changes, I get the error message telling me that I did not type the correct captcha code, although the captcha dialog did not come up while I edited the message left by the user.
Is there a way around this ?

http://love.mixbeat.com/hype/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=231
I guess a quick fix would be to have the captcha box come up when admin click on "modify" to edit a post left by a visitor who had to type the captcha code.
I'm just guessing.
thanks for investigating this.

The exact solution is this:
Open Post.php, find:
replace:
I'll release 1.0.1 bug fix version soon. But not right today. Thanks for pointing out.
Please let me know if this worked, because I didn't try.
Open Post.php, find:
Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']))
replace:
Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly, and we are not modifying the message.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']) && isset($_REQUEST['msg']) && !empty($topic))
I'll release 1.0.1 bug fix version soon. But not right today. Thanks for pointing out.

It DID NOT work.
admin is asked to enter captcha code while attempting to "modify" and save changes he just did by clicking "modify" in a post left by a visitor...

This is a problem about your package permissions, not this mod.
CHMOD the packages directory to 777 and retry.

QuoteWhen I log in as admin and I try to edit a post done by a guest,Haha, strangely enough, that was also a bug in my CAPTCHA MOD :P. I solved it slightly differently though (my one checks if the user is a guest, and only shows the CAPTCHA if they are)
when I try to save the changes, I get the error message telling me that I did not type the correct captcha code, although the captcha dialog did not come up while I edited the message left by the user.

I am running SMF 1.1 RC3 and TinyPortal v0.9.5--
I had this working fine, but then I installed a blog mod to the site and it broke it. It "shows" up like normal but the place where the images are supposed to be is just an x like a broken image type thing. (I can get a screen shot of it if you would like...) I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and the install went fine...but still not showing up.
The blog mod is located here:
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=6662.0 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=6662.0)
And there is a mention of this issue on that site in this thread:
http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=8773.0 (http://www.tinyportal.net/smf/index.php?topic=8773.0)
I *love* the functionality of this mod, and I really want to use both...is it possible?
AND it appears that even though I "uninstall" this, it is still "working" ?? Now I am really confused. My packages look like this right now:
So how is this working at all if I uninstalled it?
The blog is no longer showing up...
I'm sorry if I am a pain...I've broken it lol
Blessings!

Oh and maybe the verification I am seeing now is the captcha one?? How could I tell the difference? I didn't think of that but checked the admin section and the options for the advanced verification are no longer there so it must be gone? I dunno...I tried reinstalling just the blog and the verifcation is broken again...
I am confused...how can I fix this?

UTF-8 is used for international languages, since the foreign symbols are unparsed when you're using normal languages

Then you should uninstall the mod automatically, then follow a second uninstallation routine manually, so you will get rid of the duplicate codes.

4. uninstall the mod again, even if it gives error this time.

Hello @all,
my forums work with 1.1 RC3 and the default theme. I've three problems:
1. I can't speak English.
2. I don't got an answer at the German support.
3. Advanced Visiual Verification is a great mod. First it worked fine and than I made something - I really don't know what I'd done - and now something is wrong.
I installed the mod. I translated. It looked nice and worked. I did something else, installed new mods, translated a much and did a little I can't describe in English, but I think, it's not important for the problem.
Suddenly the registration looked different. I couldn't see the characters any more. Therefore there was a text once more normaly is shown at the left side. I thought it doesn't matter. I uninstalled the mod and deleted it. Then I installed it new, thinking it will be the same work once more, and it should work. Nothing happened. All looked the same as before. ::)
Answering in the public boards shows the same problem.
Is there anyone who can help me? Please write to me in very easy English. Therefore I'm very stupid.
;) Thx busymouse

Well, after a few years back to try SMF again. You have been getting good reviews.
However, it is quite frustrating to download a new package, and not have registration work. I know it can work as I did a lot of work to get 'gotcha' to work with joomla.
Probably, I fall in the category of 'gd' installed (i.e. enabled using php internal) but no Freetype.
At the moment I fall into the category of 'trying' users, and will go back to check the beginning of the thread for what I hope is a link to the improved mod - as this does not seem to be a big enough issue for a RC3+ release.
If I don't find it, I'll just turn it off for now - I am going to use a bridge I expect anyway. Tomorrows 'struggle'.
And, except for the 'broken' visual install (sound does not work for me either btw), installation was very 'Simple' indeed.

when I try to save the changes, I get the error message telling me that I did not type the correct captcha code, although the captcha dialog did not come up while I edited the message left by the user.
How did you solve that problem ?
I'm still battling with it.
Can you tell me what to do ?

Ok, I'm at a loss for ideas. The verification image doesn't show up on the registration page or in admin > registration > visual verification.
I'm using SMF 1.1RC3 w/ Bloc's theme Black22 1.1RC3.
I am using website redirection via our host's cpanel and an included header file in template_main_above() as well (just under the <body> tag) if that makes a difference.
I've modified the theme files (privatemessages.template & index.english -other mod-altered files pull from Default) accordingly to get the mod working, but I have no image; however, the image does show up with the Default theme. Both the Default font and mod font folders are copied into the Black22 directory.
The stock verification script wasn't working in the same manner; I was hoping the mod would do the trick. =/
Ideas?

Hello people, I'm posting this again.
When I log in as admin and I try to edit a post done by a guest,
when I try to save the changes, I get the error message telling me that I did not type the correct captcha code, although the captcha dialog did not come up while I edited the message left by the user.

What is that fix ?
Does HarzeM has a fix ?
The one you proposed did not work.

Hi,
Is this mod compatible with all themes? I'm having trouble with new user registration at the moment. The captcha details aren't showing up using the built-in verification so I'm thinking of installing this mod to combat the problem.
SMF version 1.1 RC3
Theme: Aa New Damage by Metalcore
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Advanced Visual Verification Mod
by HarzeM
This mod replaces default verification code system of SMF 1.1 RC3 with an advanced system.
Only Works for SMF 1.1 RC3 !
knip...
You can modify the settings via
Admin > Registration > Visual Verification
[/quote]
Ah - the small print. There is a default mod - which is why it didnt show up in the mods section, and it was broken similiar to this one it seems.
Someone responsible for the RC3 release needs to be aware that whatever this replaces is also broken. And that it has been quite confusing for a person with little time.
Well, going to download the mod, and hope SMF works then. No point if people cant register....

You can modify the settings via
Admin > Registration > Visual Verification
But there is no Visual Verification tab!
EDIT: I just uninstalled the mod - when I tried to make a test account, it refused to accept that I was typing the right letters in... Don't want to be messing around with something that will prevent real people signing up.

After I installed there is no admin > registration > visual verification. There is a checkbox in admin > registration > settings that says
Disable the use of the visual verification on registration
But that's all I find in admin. I'm using the standard default smf template.
What I need is to enable visual verification for guest posts. That's not enabled now, although there is vv for registration. Is it possible to add or edit settings directly into the database? What would be the settings be?
Thanks. Very cool module.

I uploaded and applied again:
The package was installed successfully. You should now be able to use whatever functionality it adds or changes; or not be able to use functionality it removes.
But same result, no admin > registration > visual verification.
I have a feeling it's a file permission thing. I'll try it on a different server later.

No, I was using the default theme.
I applied the mod using the package manager in the admin panel.
(Sorry for slow reply - am in a different time zone... and working so I can only get to look in here intermittently. If the problem can be relatively simply fixed then I would be interested in getting your mod set up on my forum)

Can you do me a favor?
Enable verification.
Disable registration verification, enable search verification.
Set image verification validity for search as 0 or 1.
Allow guests to make searches.
So I can have a look at the image at seach and see the problem.

I can't see any reason why it will behave like that. Try deleting the font folders of black22 so they will be used from default.

Then we'll need to investigate further.
Try renaming ALL php files in that theme directory, to begin with 2.
For example, "2index.template.php".
Then run your forum. It should look like default, but with black colors. Report whether the image works or not.

Now rename the files back to their original names.
Then rename files to their "2" versions again, this time one by one. At each rename, try if the image works.
What we want to find is, the file of Black22 that makes the image unreadable.

You don't need the code:
//require("forums/SSI.php");
require_once("forums/smf_api.php");
And you can include the file:
include("home/yoursite/public_html/indexHeader.php");
//require("forums/SSI.php");
require_once("forums/smf_api.php");
And you can include the file:
include("home/yoursite/public_html/indexHeader.php");

Ok I've been fixing the bugs myself. Looks like an error between the names you gave to your language lines and the names you then call in the scripts. Like in search.php you have
log_error($txt['visual_verification_failed']);
but in the language file you put
$txt['error_visual_verification_failed'] = 'The letters you typed don\'t match the letters that were shown in the picture.';
So I removed the error_ part from the language file.
log_error($txt['visual_verification_failed']);
but in the language file you put
$txt['error_visual_verification_failed'] = 'The letters you typed don\'t match the letters that were shown in the picture.';
So I removed the error_ part from the language file.

They are different texts. One is default in RC3, and the other is given when a guests can't type the letters when posting. So I suggest you to restore it ;)

Just a small update.
Had some issues with Installing. It said that it didnt have the correct perms to install in Packages, and seemed to cache this somewhere. Only after I switched to another computer and tried to install (after uploading package to Packages/Advanced*.zip) did the package verify and install.

i just deleted over 400 pages of errors, really, i was surprised at the number of errors. the majority of them due to the Advanced Visual Verification Mod. The first thing i noticed was that the control panel for the mod in the Admin section was gone, so i couldn't disable it. i tried uninstalling but got an error so i didn't proceed.
the mod still works fine, just like its supposed to, but no control panel and i can't uninstall it at the moment. right now my biggest concern is the missing control panel. the forum is using the Back-n-Black theme so i didn't have to edit any files. any thoughts on the missing control panel?
here is a sample of the errors:
forums/index.php?action=pm;sa=send2
forums/Sources/PersonalMessage.php
forums/index.php?action=regcenter;sa=settings
forums/Sources/ManageRegistration.php

Hi, Harzem!
I'd like to use your mod in my spanish forum, but prior to that, I need to translate it.
Can you tell me what should I do (exactly) in order to translate the mod so it can be automatically installed in spanish?
I'm a computer science student, but I have near to nil knowledge about PHP and HTML, so any help would be appreciated. Or a link to a "translation tutorial" or something like that.
Of course, once I have translated it, I will post it here, so everybody can benefit from it.

For you to use the MOD on a Spanish board, and for the effects to take on automatic install you must:
1) Download the package from here
2) Open up the install.xml for editing
3)
Find:
It should be at the end of the file.
4) This is to be done in the smae install.xml file
Find:
Then replace the 'index.english.php' with your language file, I guess it would be 'index.spanish.php', although it may be different.
5) Change the second bit for each string so that it is Spanish, for example:
We want to edit the 'Visual Verification' part, which is what the string will show. So change that into Spanish. Do the same for all the other strings.

Hi HarzeM!
I have also a problem with the error in the CP-Error Log:

8: Undefined index: verificationAskPM

It doesn't matter - user or not.
The verification options for the search and PM-send are not checked - and this, IMHO, is the error, because the verificationAsk*'s doesn't have an index, the vars wasn't defined.
Please help me to solve this problem, where can I fix this little bug. (Sorry, it's not a bug, it's a feature :))

else
$_SESSION['verificationAskGuestSearch'] = 0;
}
$_SESSION['verificationAskGuestSearch'] ++; // THIS IS THE LINEIt doesn't matter - user or not.
The verification options for the search and PM-send are not checked - and this, IMHO, is the error, because the verificationAsk*'s doesn't have an index, the vars wasn't defined.
Please help me to solve this problem, where can I fix this little bug. (Sorry, it's not a bug, it's a feature :))
Many thanks in advance.

Ok, mates. It's translated into Spanish, but somehow I cannot get it to work properly in my server. The image simply isn't displayed. But I think it works, at least, the text is in Spanish.

I got these errors. Any idea how to resolve:
8: Undefined index: verificationAskPM
File: /forum/Sources/PersonalMessage.php
Line: 1379
For the Search and PM options, I left them unchecked in the Control Panel, but I left the default number 5 in the box.
I installed the mod yesterday.
I have a lot of these errors as well.

Sorry for any inconvenience, I have several server issues, I made two migration within a short time, most of my websites are offline for more than a week, even a month for few, I can't deliver any emails sent to @harzem.com (try sending an email to dilbermc@harzem.com), I've spend 99.95$ for nothing but server tests, still my apache on the server is broken and I can't get online. I currently own three VPS machines and no flawless website.
I'll be updating the mod with a huge change (code based) after I'm again on my feet.

I have installed this neat mod right after the latest RC3 patch and the images do not generate.
What apache lib support is needed for the image generation?
The image has "action=verificationcode;rand=82f7b2a8f751acd56e1cb7d38bf18941" for the link and the "listen to the letters" works fine.

Errors / bugs
Part I.
Even if member and guest PM, search and posting are enabled, no captcha is being loaded. Basically, only works for me on the registration page.
Part II.
These are the errors I get.
Errors show even with the settings "unchecked" and with the core theme and any other theme (with all the theme settings properly and correctly added).

Hello people, I'm posting this again.
When I log in as admin and I try to edit a post done by a guest,
when I try to save the changes, I get the error message telling me that I did not type the correct captcha code, although the captcha dialog did not come up while I edited the message left by the user.
Daniel15 said he found a fix for this.
What is that fix ?
Does HarzeM has a fix ?
The one you proposed did not work.
Don't know if my fix is correct, but it works.
In Post.php :
Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']))
Replace :
Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly, and we are not modifying the message.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']) && isset($_REQUEST['msg']) && !empty($topic) && !allowedTo('moderate_forum'))

This was the problem I was getting constantly.
I made the directory, and reinstalled, deinstalled, and installed again. Then everything installed.
* I have had to do it twice like this, and had to wait some hours before the deinstall worked. My best guess is that there are some cookies, or session "thingies" preventing the deinstall from working initially. So if you try to deinstall, and it doesnt work, try in 12 hours. And witness a miracle! :)

Could this be related to some session or cookies being stored somewhere? Sometimes these errors don't show up, there are times when it does.

I dont know if your probem is like mine. I thought Advanced Visual Verification was the built-in captcha. I originally came to this thread thinking it was fixes for that.
I never got the built to work, but - with a bit of difficulity, I did get this one to work.
If only there was a version for smf/joomla bridged versions - I'd be very happy.
If you are not 'suffering' from the confusion I had, just disregard the post - and gl with your problem. ;D

Hello and thank you for the mod! I have one problem though: I am setting up my site with a 'simple view' theme and an advanced view theme. The weird thing is that when someone is in one theme and goes to register the verification image does not show up. The form field and 'type in the letters' message comes up but no image. However, if they switch to the other theme then it shows up fine. Don' these feed off the same files no matter what the theme? Why would it show up in one theme and not another?
Any help appreciated!

When applying the mod it shows:
2. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
The "install now" option is still enabled after that, though it is clear that nothing gets installed when hitting it.
This is a fresh install of SMF 1.1-RC3 on a W2K machine, running Apache v2, PHP5 (safe_mode = Off), and MySQL 5.0.27. All on the same machine. The entire SMF directory and everything underneath has full access control for everyone, with 'inherit' enabled so the temp dir that Package Manager creates plus its files have full controll as well. The database user account has SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, CREATE, DROP, INDEX and ALTER access to the forum schemata.
Any ideas on where to look or what to try? A better description on what this error message actually means would be helpful too. I've exhausted all ideas on this end...
Thank you!

I have just installed this mod, and it works fine for me - nice to finally be able to enable guest posting again.
However, one suggestion for HarzeM: Would it be possible for you to add an option to use CAPTCHA on "Send topic" as well (I e when someone clicks "Send this topic", to send an e-mail to someone about a topic)? As it is now, it's pretty much impossible to enable that option for guests, as it would result in tons of spam e-mails being sent from the forum. Therefore, it would be very useful if CAPTCHA could be added when guests are using that feature as well. Any way to add this to the next version?

Hi,
First of all it appears to be a great mod - however, I can't get the verification image to show up. There is a red cross - no preview, no sound etc. I run the lastest version of SMF 1.1 RC3, default english language, Default_modern skin - and everything installed without any errors.
The image will not show on preview, nor in the registration. Do I need to install other stuff than the Advanced Visual Registration or do you have any ideas of how to fix this?
Thanks

I agree that this is a big want for the new 1.1 version. I did the upgrade, thinking "nothing could be out of whack that I would miss." Big mistake on my part. The Advanced Visual Verification mod is a must have. I think that I am going to roll back to 1.1 RC3 until it is ready.

i have guest posts enabled, and as i upgraded to final 1.1 was flooded by spam. :'(
couldn't wait for the new version of this mod, so i forced compatibility, with little care, and installed it on my forum.
i attach here so you can see it and test it. remember it is good only for testing!

I have not 1) installed this mod nor 2) read all 16 pages, so I'll make this quick and dirty: I like the idea of requiring the image for sending PMs, but can this be set so that it only requires the image if multiple recipients are added?
Last night for the first time in 5 years a spammer mass PMed members of my forum. Requiring the Image verification if a defined number of recipients were reached would be great because it would not require every member to verify the Image if they are just sending a 1-on-1 PM.
This could be a user-defined number that could be changed in the admin. For instance I would set it to 2 or 3. I like the default limit of recipients (as per SMF) at 10, but right now I have it set to 4 just in case this spammer is to make a repeat showing.
If this is an option then I will install this mod. Otherwise if I don't get a response, or its not a feature, I will consider changing the code with permission from HarzeM today.
Thankyou in advance,
BigMike

Due to my internet connection lost for a few days, I was unable to login here and reply.
I'm considering to update the mod for 1.1 by improvements, removing database table, adding more settings etc... Your suggestion sounds good. Currently it doesn't have that feature, so you may modify your copy if you want, until I'll release a new version.

This MOD is compatible with SMF 1.1, just you need to do a few things to install it:
1) You need to tell the package manager to emulate a different version number (SMF 1.1 RC3). To do this, put ;emulate_version=1.1 RC3 at the end of the Package Manager URL.
2) You need to do an edit to Register.php (the package doesn't modify it correctly, as the bit to change has changed in SMF 1.1 Final). Open Sources/Register.php, and find:
Replace with:
Then, the MOD should be working :D

akulion, it didn't fail in 1.1 RC3, so there is no "fix". It just needed impovement, in image and security, and a few additional features for only the ones who want these.
Kindred, I know there are errors. I'll be fixing them when releasing 1.1 version (tomorrow).

I'm afraid upgrading may not be possible. I'm planning to remove the database system and use the session system. The mod already uses the session system to count the number of PMs without verification etc, but I'm planning to fully transfer to sessions. This may mean the code changes will be more than a few lines, so upgrade may not be possible.
Extra features I'm planning are:
- Post count limit for PM verifications
- Post count limit for search verifications
- Ask verification for PMs that have multiple recipients
- Ask verification when a member with less than X posts is posting (or posting a link)
- Ask verification when sending a topic to a friend
- Ask verification when visiting the member list
- Ask verification when trying to see the email address of a member
- Integrate to the "user email system" of vbgamer45
- Ask verification after incorrect password attempts (like gmail)
All will be optional, but these may take some time to complete. I hope I'll be able to finish it today.

just some advice for those testing non-official versions of mods on their live sites
for me....im just gona wait for harzems official mod release :D

The exact solution is this:
Open Post.php, find:Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']))
replace:Code Select
// Check whether the visual verification code was entered correctly, and we are not modifying the message.
if (empty($modSettings['disable_visual_verification']) && empty($modSettings['verificationDontAskGuestPost']) && isset($_REQUEST['msg']) && !empty($topic))

Surely it is more sensible to quickly make the mod compaitible, release the new version, THEN start working on future features?

It DID have something to do with index.template.php. Your mod works great. It was something on my end. To correct it, what I did was install tinyportal on a test site on a clean install. I used the resulting "index.template.php" to compare it to the one that was on my live site. Anyhow, I fixed it. And it works... Great! Nice job as always.

I am showing a problem on my forum, it works great for registering and for guest use but my members PMs it shows up twice, once above the message box and then again below the box. this way you cannot send a message. I then went to the admin panel and unchecked the box for using on pms and it does not go away. Can anyone check theirs ans see if it is just me?

I've installed the new version, and it appears to be working fine (well, I had a problem with Register.php [it was blank for some strange reason], but I reuploaded it and it's fine now).
I think I found a bug, though: If I click on the 'Listen to the letters' link on the registration page, the letters that are read out are not the same letters in the picture! :P

I'm having some issues with the mod. Works fine on the default themes but having issue manually editing the files to work on the Pn-Pn & Ig-Oh theme by Koni. It works fine on the registration pages but not anything else. I am currently running version 1.1 of SMF.
The files I manually edited are......
post.template.php
search.template.php
personalmessage.template.php
Are these the correct files that need editing?
If I should have posted this in Themes board i'm sorry! :-[

First thank you for the update. I am showing a problem on my forum, it works great for registering and for guest use but my members PMs it shows up twice, once above the message box and then again below the box. this way you cannot send a message. I then went to the admin panel and unchecked the box for using on pms and it does not go away. Can anyone check theirs ans see if it is just me?
Thanks
Pat
Yes, you should disable the default verification of SMF 1.1 in PMs. It is disabled via Features and Options. I'll be automatically disabling it in the next release.

Wow, HarzeM, you have magical powers! It seems to be fixed now :P OK, it was probably a problem with my web host's transparent proxy caching things incorrectly...
Although, I have a problem with guest posting (forgot to mention this before):
QuoteI'm assuming that since the session is timing out, it's losing the code, and hence assuming that it's incorrect. This is probably not a problem with your MOD, but I thought I should post it here just in case. The funny thing is, this happens sporadically... If I try it a few times, it works fine. I have no idea what's causing this problem...

Dear HarzeM,
before i start, i would like to say "thank you" for your great mod and your support.
I just use your visual verification mod and i became a error message like this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare verificationsettings() (previously declared in /xxxxxx/xxxxxx/forum/Sources/ManageRegistration.php:313) in /xxxxxx/xxxxx/forum/Sources/ManageRegistration.php on line 384
The error message came, when you click on the "registration" button in admin menu. Install and reinstall of the mod take no effects.
Thanks,
vengeance

Should i uninstall anyway?
There's now a new error Message after re-installing the package:

Are the instructions for manual permission changes available somewhere (and if not, can you make them available?) My server doesn't like the package manager's automated attempt and I cannot easily glean from this thread or from the documentation exactly what needs to be created/modified.

I upgraded from 1.1RC3 to 1.1 and attempted to install this mod first. The following error happens:
2. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
It will run, but the options for Advanced Visual Verification never appear. These are the steps I have tried:
Checking all permissions on files in the forum.
Uploading a fresh copy of SMF 1.1.
I am using Helios Multi for my theme. I changed it to SMF default and tried to run the mod, but still no joy. Other mods seem to install fine. I am running MySQL 5.0 and PHP 5.2. I wonder if the problem is the PHP version?
For kicks, I deleted the table that the mod creates in the database and tried running the mod again. It did create the table again, so it gets that far.
I am currently looking at the instructions to install a mod manually. Ick.

I don't understand what you mean by
There are no image options in features and options and the SMF VV was turned off in Registration when the mod was installed.
That is what I thought, but when the AVV for PM's was unchecked they returned to normal. This was in Opera 9, I didn't check it with other browsers.

I checked everything and all things are properly inserted, replaced, etc.

As do I, also on SMF 1.1 final... although have not gone ahead and hit Install Now button... I am getting the same error message though, on initially hitting Apply Mod.
--------------
1. Execute Code installverification.php
2. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
3. Extract File ./Sources/Verification.php
4. Extract Tree ./Themes/default/ttf_fonts
I too have the same problem.
I did uninstalled TP 0.95 then uploaded the SMF 1.1 upgrade, then uploaded TP0.97 and then uploaded AVV1.1, when I got the above error I did continue the installation and it said all was OK at the end but I can not find any settings and even the guests can post with out the code :(
EDIT-->
I tried to uninstall AVV and it said parse errors but I went ahead and then tried again to upload and this time go this message

Any help would be great.
Only other mods on the forum is TP0.9.7

I can´t see it in the Admin Panel after the Installation of the Mod. I tested with default theme, its not there. Had no error while installation, everything went fine. Just isn´t there.
Anyone similiar problems ?

I've the same problem. I think this happens while using another language then english.
Another problem are various error messages like:

I have also deleted everything from my 1.1 Final root directory, and then uploaded a new install, went with utf-8 and forums then working fine, then tried uploading AVV and got

2. Execute Modification install.xml Modification parse error
3. Execute Modification - Modification parse error

Confused as this was a vanilla install of SMF1.1, follows by AVV a few seconds later. (No other mods installed)
Hope this helps

I have exactly the same problem. But I don't think it depends on the language (I tried it with in english and german).
I searched the forum and found two hints with similiar problems by other mods.
1st hint: Change the rights of the SMF-installation-folder (and subfolders) to WWW_RUN.
=> Tried this, but it doesn't help
2nd hint: Make a temp-folder in the package-folder with full rights (777) before installing the mod.
=> Tried this, but it doesn't help. The temp-folder is deleted after trying to add the mod.
Any help is welcome, because i would like to install the mod asap.
thanks, tarsia

First thank you for the update. I am showing a problem on my forum, it works great for registering and for guest use but my members PMs it shows up twice, once above the message box and then again below the box. this way you cannot send a message. I then went to the admin panel and unchecked the box for using on pms and it does not go away. Can anyone check theirs ans see if it is just me?
Thanks

I'm having this same problem, didn't have it with 1.0 on SMF 1.1 RC3. Yes I've turned off the Image Verification for SMF, only way I can do so though is before installing this mod as it removes that option in ALL themes after it is installed. Thing is, even if I turn it off then install this mod, I still have the problem and it persists even if I turn off the AVV completely. Any other bright ideas other than "go into Features and Options and turn it off?" as that doesn't work. This is a good mod, or was before 1.1 and SMF 1.1 Final.

Hi Annihilator,
as i get the same error (se above) on an apache-server. May the error depends on the PHP-Safe-Mode of the Server? I weakly remember, that i read something like that in the forum, but i can't find it again.
Could you to turn the safe-mode on/off and try to install the mod in both settings. As my webspace is on a shared-server i can't change the setting.
Maybe that's a hint.

Just a heads up for people with this problem... as a test, through the aid of a helpful fellow SMF'er, I tried moving my forum to a different server, and then tried installing this mod again.. it installed perfectly.
No changes of anything in my forum software, coding (other than updating the directory references to the new server), etc... just a different server ... so, while I have no idea what the problem was, it certainly is an issue with the server... at least in my case.

I will give feedback once AVV gets upgraded for SMF1.1.1

I found this same thing. Rolling my PHP version back to the 4 series let me finally get past the parse error. However, now I cannot install the AV Mod, due to the update to 1.1.1. Waiting for the update myself, though hopefully it is not a lot of work for HarzeM. Having to constantly update your mods is surefire way to discourage authors.

The last error might be because of my incorrect implementation for 1.1, I was rushed. I'll have a look.
Until I release a fix, you may use that line as
if (isset($context['use_graphic_library']) && $context['use_graphic_library'] == true)

Ah, quite sad to report that I cannot install version 1.1 of the Mod to a SMF 1.1.1 forum. This is from a clean install of 1.1, then immediately upgraded to 1.1.1. I made the changes to package-info. No other mods have been installed. When I tell it to install, the following errors appear:
2. Execute Modification ./index.php Test failed
9. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/Search.template.php Test failed
12. Execute Modification ./Sources/ManageRegistration.php Test failed
Installing it anyway definitely causes issues, such as this in registration:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare verificationsettings() (previously declared in /home/mydir/public_html/forum_test/Sources/ManageRegistration.php:312) in /home/mydir/public_html/forum_test/Sources/ManageRegistration.php on line 383
Attempting to uninstall, I get the following error every time:
9. Execute Modification ./Sources/PersonalMessage.php Test failed
After the uninstall, registration still does not work. The only way to get it to work is to upload a clean copy of SMF and start over.

I made the modificaitons to the package-info.xml file as sugessted by FoneBone, but after the mod is uploaded to the Forum it still wont install because I think there are other issues relating to the recent upgrade to SMF 1.1.1
Any other thoughts/ideas would be much appreciated.

I wasn't able to install this on smf 1.1.1: I uploaded the extracted archive into my packages folder, went into admin panel -> browse packages -> apply mod and got the following:
Looking forward to getting this mod working.

good mod, works now fine for me on V.1.1.1
another question:
Is this still needed (using the actual versions ?)
anyhow, I can not find the setting "default SMF image" within the "Features and Options" dialog
which one do you mean ?

YEah I did it too, but the ONE primary theme that I wanted apparently didn't like it as it didn't allow the code to work on it as nothing showed. So I decided to remove it, well thats where the headaches come in so BEWARE if you have to uninstall it. IF you do have to, plan on reuploading all the folders and files once again and do an overwrite

I've the same problem. I think this happens while using another language then english.
Mine is just default English and the default theme.
I have also deleted everything from my 1.1 Final root directory, and then uploaded a new install, went with utf-8 and forums then working fine, then tried uploading AVV and got
1. Execute Code installverification.php
2. Execute Modification install.xml Modification parse error
3. Execute Modification - Modification parse error
4. Extract File ./Sources/Verification.php
5. Extract Tree ./Themes/default/ttf_fonts
Confused as this was a vanilla install of SMF1.1, follows by AVV a few seconds later. (No other mods installed)
Hope this helps

I am asking first because I do not want to mess anything up. (I already made a backup though but uploading the backup again etc. etc. will take some time so I ask first)

you will have to manually apply the changes to the theme template files... other than that, it should work just fine.
I have it installed on a custom theme as well as Helios, but I had to apply the changes for display.template.php and profile.template.php manually.

Hello,
ok I just tried it.
I unpacked the original advancedvisualverification etc. zip to a folder and unpacked the contents of the german language mod thing you just mentioned to this folder, therefore replacing a few of the files of the original with the german versions, so to say. Then I packed this again and went to package manager, uploaded the package, and it said ok and correct and everything fine and the dot is green blabla etc..
So the forum thinks everything was correctly installed.
Still, when I take a look at "registration" there is no "visual verification" menu at all. I changed profile from german to english and vice versa, and there simply isnt any visual verification menu anywhere. So not in registration and not in the german counterpart for this menu point nor anywhere.
Well, thats the end of the story. Anybody has any idea?
P.S.:
I also tried setting the theme back to standard SMF in my personal profile and there also tried both language settings in my profile, still no visual verification menu anywhere.
P.P.S.:
I just attached two screenshots so that you can see the package manager screen and the registration menu.

Hello,
ok and if I try to install the original mod with the mini modification mentioned here:
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=114620.msg867913#msg867913
so that the SMF forum package installer accepts it as 1.1.1. the forum says the below mentioned thing.
So basically I think the version needs to be upgraded or something, or I am doing something wrong. As I said I am using the Classic YABB SE Theme, perhaps this is somehow involved here.

all modifcations will install on the standard-theme with english language (non UTF-8) only...
if you use another language you will have to make manual modifications or manual installation...
if you use another theme you will have to make manual modifications or manual installation as well...

Hello,
well according to my information the mod does not even run on 1.1.1. with the standard theme. Therefore I think it would useless to sit myself down for hours and manually change and exchange parts as mentioned in the install.xml.
I suppose it will be better to wait for a patch for 1.1.1. and then try the modification - at least in my opinion.

Hi,
I already know that the error depends on the PHP version. But, does anybody know a hack to install the mod on PHP 5?
Thanks, tarsia
PS. As the parse error appears in some other mods, in my point of view its is a general bug of SMF and a todo for the Development-Team. But it seems that they are not interested in it (as far is i read in other topics).

Converted to boardmod and applied successfully. It seems to work fine so far.

Make a backup of my Sources and Themes folders, then tried that file above from Rasqual, this time it stated success on the test run and I then applied it.
Then I could not click the registration page in admin as there were page errors in the php, something about a missing }.
So I restored the backup and all was fine again with out AVV.
Sorry.

I run 1.1.1 and made the mistake(?) to update with AVV activated. AVV wouldn't work but after deinstalling it, still the (nice) big AVV-letters showed on registration-attempts. But they displayed the wrong code! Boy some quite days until I realised that. :o
I tried the <install for="1.1, 1.1.1"> hack, but got an error-message that index.php failed. Obviously the installer searches for something like array('Register.php', 'VerificationCode') but in my installation there it says array('Register.php', 'Register').
I changed that but still got an error concerning index.php but this time after entering the FTP-connecting data.
If anyone has an idea how I could at least use the build-in registration, please tell - I have (among some dumb bots) a very annoying spammer on my back with fake IPs and valid, unsuspicious email-accounts.

Are your PM settings in "Features and Options" correct? Check the post count switch which forces a AVV before sending.Quote from: lexhair on January 09, 2007, 09:42:59 PM
I installed AVV while I was running 1.1. No problems after I upgraded to 1.1.1.
I run php version 4.4.4.
i did exactly the same, but regular members cannot send PM (administrators can). I tried to remove AVV code from PersonalMessage.php and PersonalMessage.template.php but it didnt help.
i also tried to remove 1.1.1. Still not working.
Any ideas, how to make PMs work?
well... i feel kind of embarrassed :/ I didn't setup minimum postcount needed to send PM. Default value is five. My community spammer helped me :)

Will this be upgraded to work with SMF 1.1.1?
I am having lots of trouble with robots signing up and SPAMing my forum. This would come in very handy and would be greatly appreciated if it was able to work with the newest update of SMF 1.1.1

The current version seems to be working fine for SMF 1.1.1. I was able to install it with no problems, when I added the ;version_emulate=1.1 string to the package manager URL. I have had it running for a week on 1.1.1, and haven't found any problems so far.
That said though, I'd love to see a new version soon with CAPTCHA added also for the "Send topic" screen, as that feature is pretty much impossible to have enabled for guests for the time being.

Korby: Go to the Package Manager, and then add the following at the end of the URL in the address bar (index.php?action=package, etc):
;version_emulate=1.1
If it works, the package manager will then display a notification that you should upgrade to 1.1.1 (which you can safely ignore). Then you can install the mod as usual.

Hi Folks,
do the following:
1. Download the zip-File from the PackageServer!
2. Access the PackageManager of your SMF and add ;version_emulate=1.1 to the URL in your Adressbar ->
...hit Return, ignore the Message
3. Upload the zip-File via PackageManager (Download Packages) to your SMF
4. Apply Mod
5. be happy...
Tested & Proved on a NEW SMF 1.1.1 Installation, but should do for every upgraded SMF!!!

This is happening on my board as well. In fact, I get two CAPTCHAs to go through before sending PM's. I have turned CAPTHA for PM off and even tried turning CAPTCHA entirely off, but they are still there. To make matters worse, you cannot send PM's due to this!

If you're having problems with people not being able to send pm's, you should do the following:
1. From the Admin-->Features and Options page, set the Post count under which users must enter code when sending personal messages option to 0 (zero).
2. From the Admin-->Registration-->Visual Verification page, clear (uncheck) the Ask when sending personal messages box setting.

Check Sources/ManagePermissions.php and Sources/Profile.php scripts. Look for duplicate blocks of the same code, specifically look for the template_verification_settings() function and see if it's in the code twice. If it is, remove the duplicate.

Hey I got a problem I only just noticed... (I installed the mod 2-3 months ago...)
Even though I have the PM Visual Verfication box unticked, it still appears in the PM area and is stopping my members from PMing.
Also, it puts two Visual V. codes in the PM send box, not just one.
Almost forgot, it also seems to be only happening to certain membergroups. (nothing to do with permissions, i checked them)

first off, if this has been asked and answered already, i apologize, didnt feel like going through 29 pages though to look it up.
Is this Advanced Visual Mod available for version 1.1.1 yet? i thought it worked, because it seems to be working fine on another boards I have up elsewhere, but i did upgrade from 1.1 to 1.1.1 and already had the mod installed, so maybe thats why it still works? IDK? But the new boards I have set up, it is 1.1.1 and when trying to install, it says that the mod is either corrupted or not valid for my version of the boards. So Im guessing fresh install of 1.1.1 will not work for this mod? yet? anything i can do to fix it manually, or is there a estimated date when it will for sure work with 1.1.1?
Thanks, David

Some other people have had problems though (as seen on various posts in this topic), but that may be because of other installed mods; not sure.

as another note, i just saw the update to 1.1.2
still didnt work.. and i still havent found where i am to add that version_emulate code at..
also, rather this is another issue, or could be part of the problem, now even after upgrading to 1.1.2, the better security for the verification, it only shows the background color or fuzzy, no letters are appearing in the box that you are supposed to read and type in the verify.

what can we do now to get CAPTCHA functionality for guest postings ?

to get the 1.1 version working on SMF1.1.1 just open the package-info.xml and replace
<install for="1.1">
to
<install for="1.1.1">
and
<uninstall for="1.1">

If you installed the SMF 1.1.1 patch, uninstall it then uninstall or install the mod and re-apply the patch. However the mod does need updating for 1.1.2, if you try to install the 1.1.2 patch with the mod installed there are several test failures. If you uninstall the mod, apply the 1.1.2 patch and try to re-install the mod it cannot find the insertion points for 3 files because it has been changed by SMF 1.1.2.
I still want to use this mod because it is still way better than the SMF built in one, so I'll wait to upgrade my main site.

I installed it under 1.1. When I upgraded to 1.1.1, it still worked just fine. However, it won't uninstall under 1.1.1 so upgrading to 1.1.2 is tough unless you manually uninstall it, which isn't trivial.

well i have edited the 1.1 to 1.1.1 after i uninstalled from 1.1.2 back to 1.1.1, and still not working. i edit the install file, update it to the zip file, try to add it back on my forum through the package upload, and now it says: "The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted. "
Im not sure what im doing wrong. like i said i am probably a 7 out of a 10 for experience on knowing how to mod files and website editing and manually editing the files. I was thinking just install everything manually, but it looks like quite a bit more I would want to mess with without being worried of messing anything up.

as another note, i just saw the update to 1.1.2
still didnt work.. and i still havent found where i am to add that version_emulate code at..
also, rather this is another issue, or could be part of the problem, now even after upgrading to 1.1.2, the better security for the verification, it only shows the background color or fuzzy, no letters are appearing in the box that you are supposed to read and type in the verify.
I have that problem with the stock captcha code as well. I THINK it MAY have something to do with the version of libgd on the server. AVV worked VERY well in the monochrome mode but until it has a 1.1.2 version I'm sort of stuck...
A little more info on the problem with the stock captcha code, the libgd version affects colors but the problem with the stock code appears to be freetype support in php.

I had to manually uninstall tihs mod in order to run the SMF 1.1.2 update patch. I have not yet tried to reinstall it. Considering the update had a bunch of CAPTCHA changes, I figure that the codes wouldn't be the same anymore for this mod.

I thought because I got it installed it was working - took me a few days to realize that, in fact, no character images were showing up at registration, so no one could get through the registration process.
I disabled all the built in visual verifications (1.1.1) and tried installing the mod - got the following error when clicking on "Register":
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_verification_settings() (previously declared in /home/sou10001/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1751) : eval()'d code:701) in /home/sou10001/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1751) : eval()'d code on line 885
Uninstalling the mod caused a failure in the personalmessage.php file, but it did uninstall otherwise.
Registration, however, still doesn't work and I've got the following error:

i cant imagine it being much any different than 1.1.1 to change much at all that would make it difficult to upgrade it to work for 1.1.2 right/wrong?

IT worked and installed perfect for me.. now.. however.. i am still finding the same problem I had with the new updated verification built in to the new SMF 1.1.2 --where the background is showing, but no actual letters are appearing. It is doing this as well with this mod. I thought maybe with this mod, it would work, but it does the same thing as the one built into SMF too.. So does it have something to do with my internet host/server that is making it not work. The guy for my host is easy to talk to, is there something I need to find out from him as to why it may not be working??

I installed this version on a 1.1.2 board (converted from IPB) with no problems and works perfectly (as far as I can see).

I've updated to 1.1.2 and tried this mod to fix the AVV on my site...It doesn't work...I've tried the modified version listed a few pages back too, but that didn't do trick either. I'm also using TP v.97, FelBlog and about 20 other Mods...I've read here and there that FelBlog may be causing it, but I had FelBlog before updating to 1.1.2 and TP v.97 - AVV worked fine at that point...There's gotta be something about these last two updates. I just can't put my finger on it. Anyone have any clues?

Is it possible to change the random letters/numbers thing to say "Select all horses" from a 3x3 grid of random animal pictures in this mod? I've been looking for something like Captcha to keep all the bot-spam from my forum, but the illegible Captcha things tend to keep real members away too, which I can't afford, especially not at this stage, so a userfriendly thing like "Select all dogs" or so would be a good solution (which exists, as I've seen it before, but don't know if this mod handles it like that)

I'll bet you it did do something... just nothing that affects the parts of the board that you can see.
10 gets you 20 that the mod is now partially installed, which means that if you ever resolve the errors and try to install it for real, you'll get a double install of some of the code...

Given the lack of updates, the creator has likely abandoned the development of this mod.
I hate to advertise, but for all those searching for something that allows you to require guests verify against an image, and that works with 1.1.2, try the Visual Verification Options (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=734) mod. It isn't the same thing, but it should provide the most-used functionality.
Please don't use this topic to discuss this mod, it has its own.
Here is to hoping HarzeM updates AVV soon.

It installed perfect and works great ...only thing it didn't install on was the German language file (which didn't exsist anyways)

I'm getting the same verbatim "modification parse error" error at the end of the install process which Kon-tiki asked for help with a few days ago.
Anyone, if you have a solution (or can even clarify what that message means) please reply. I'm obviously not the only person waiting for an answer to this head scratcher.
Btw, it took MUCH work to get all the error problems/messages whittled down to just these "mod. parse error"s at the end of the install process.....and I don't want to click the Install button and have it screw up a days worth of work.
Thanks for anyone's thoughts, input, or comments about this error.

I could not resolve Kon-Tiki's issues with this mod... although I don't know why it took "much" work to get it to that point... it was a matter of 2 minutes to determine that the original error was the result of the temp directory not being properly created. Manually create the temp directory in your packages directory, with chmod 777 and mods will install just fine.
As for the other issue with install.xml... I gave up and installed the VVO mod for him rather than this one (AVV)

For those who have 1.1.2 and are experiencing the "Modification Parse Error" issue when trying to install, it appears another gent found the problem. The issue is that the installer does not like big .xml files. When I split the install.xml file into three parts, it worked fine.
I am not an SMF developer and have done very little testing, but the attached file is the one I made (using Cyberclone's to start) and it worked fine to both install and uninstall.
I think that the "Modification Parse Error" has to do with the server's PHP version. I did not run into it until I upgraded my version of PHP and downgrading my PHP would get rid of the error.

this is a fresh install of 1.1.2!
i installed original version of AVV first then the first mod, then this last one, this one at least didnt have the usual german lang file error when installing.
nothing helps. theme is default, tried the other one that doesnt have that php file, but it still didnt help,
how do i install this "manually" if that helps?

i tried to rename both register.php's in source folder to some nonsense so there was no active register.php and i still got the same error. so this file isnt working at all. help?

thanks, i do have it installed, just wasn't sure if that was safe enough. you seem to confirm it is. can you tell me how you fixed the error report issue with it though? for me (when i tested it as a guest) it only said "error occurred: " but didn't say the reason (i.e. it won't let you post because of the link). or maybe it is intentional? thanks.

i know the original mod is not compatible, but two hacks are available that make it compatible, it does work for others, sadly not for me, :(

Personally, I'm not really into un-reviewed hacks to make things work, especially when something affects such a critical part of the system.
As to your question, you should really ask that in the topic for that mod, but yes, turning it on means any post by a guest will require a verification.

How do I get around this. I would upgrade to 1.1.2 but I need to stop some spamming now and upgrading involves a ton of work since I am using a joomla bridge.
Thanks!

If you are using the joomla bridge form this site (v1.1.6 or 1.1.7) then upgrading SMF is no hassle, since the bridge does not affect any SMF files at all.

Unfortunately I am not. I wish I could but i have a problem with SEF advance and it working with SMF. Our site has over 3500 articles that are indexed and it pains me to think of losing that by changing sef components. We might have to though. We are using Joomlahacks.

It has been removed due to the recent action on the Joomla! team's part concerning the license of their software. They have basically stated that non-GPL modules are in violation of their license. We are working to see how best to resolve the situation, if we can.
This will be an interesting development to watch, as several core developers have quit because of the license change.

Because it is only compatible with 1.1 not 1.1rc3
You could uncompress the file, modify package-info.xml to allow for installation and uninstallation of 1.1rc3 not just 1.1 then recompress it and try to install... but you are doing this at your own risk. Make sure to backup

(v 1.1.3)
I've just uninstalled this mod via package manager, but I still have the "Visual Verification" tab under Admin>Registration. Clicking on it gives me the "Unable to load the 'verification_settings' template" error. Any idea how I can remove this (I want to completely uninstall).
And, perhaps related to the above, on the Admin>Registration>Settings screen the dropdown re image complexity has no effect, even when I save changes (see attached image).
(I also had the Visual Verification Options mod installed, but now uninstalled, so apologies if its because of that and not this mod...)
And, finally, my registration page shows the image 5 times (see 2nd attachment)

imako, AVV hasn't worked right since 1.1.2 because it wasn't updated and the default verification system was changed a bit. That being said, there have been no changes to the areas AVV changes between 1.1.2 and 1.1.3. If you install the update via the package manager, you should be okay. You might want to look at Visual Verification Options (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=734) if you start having problems with AVV.
jnix, you can use the package parser at http://sleepycode.com/index.php?action=modparser to see what changes the mod made and check that those changes have been deleted.
The complexity dropdown was added in 1.1.2 for the built-in system, and won't influence AVV at all. The lack of changes is likely because of the system still using its generator for the images becuase the uninstall was incomplete. The registration image problem is also likely related to the incomplete uninstall of the mod. These should be fixed if you manually remove any remaining changes still present.

Hi all,
I just installed SMF 1.1.3 and tried to integrate MOD 'Advanced Visual Verification' (=Captcha) into the forum by using the package manager (zip).
I get the error 'This mod doesn't seem to support your SMF version.'???!!!
What could be the problem? Is Captcha not yet supported by 1.1.3?
Ciao

1- captcha already exists in 1.1.3, this mod just adds additional stuff
2- you'll have to edit the install.xml for this mod to include 1.1.3 as a valid install version. (as indicated in several previous posts)

There have been several security fixes since 1.1.1 (although minor, they are still possible to be exploited by someone determined to cause problems). If you haven't upgraded please look over the changes for 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 and make sure you can live without the fixes.

I unpacked the modpackage and I changed in the package-info XML document <install for="1.1, 1.1.1"> and <uninstall for="1.1, 1.1.1">. Zipped and uploaded for installing. It didn't work: "Installations actions for "Advanced Visual Verification":

I changed it to 1.1.2 and I got the same message. After that I changed it to 1.1.3. The packagemanager unpacked the mod but gave the following warnings:

The image verification system changed considerably in SMF 1.1.2, which is why those are failing. The creator abandoned it, so there have been no updates (and won't be unless they return to update it or give permission for someone else to take over).
I personally don't recommend using this unless you have the skills to update it for your own use.

There are some members on this forum who are using AVV in their own forum, running @ 1.1.3, right? So it's possible. Is there one of them who can guide me to integrated AVV in my forum. I really need this mod. I am getting sick of all those spammers on my forum. Every day I have to delete/ban more than 10 spamaccounts. They use automatic scripts to login and to post spam. The AVV mod is a great solution for this problem.

OK, I got permission from HarzeM to update it. The updates are coming along nicely, and my local version now support SMF 1.1.2 and 1.1.3.
However, there's a few bugs that will delay the release a bit. I'll try to fix the bug with admins editing messages by guests (it says that they didn't enter the code correctly, but no code was actually displayed), as well as a few other little bugs.
Since I don't have much free time, I won't work on it much until Friday.

I have this mod installed on my forum. Firstly, thanks for a great mod!
I have noticed an issue. I'm not sure if it's an SMF issue or this mod. When you go to register on the forums, if you type something wrong, then you of course get the error message telling you what was wrong (e.g. type invalid visual code, etc). So, you click the "Back" link. Here's where the issue is.
You correct whatever problem is there. But, the visual verification code does not refresh to a new one automatically. When I was testing my forum out I noticed it when I tried to register a dummy account. Say you typed in the VVC wrong, you click back. There is the same VVC. If you do type that in correctly then you will get the same error as you need to click "Refresh Image" and then put in the type in the new VVC.

In addition to the CAPTCHA not refreshing as mentioend in my previous post, I have noticed the same issue as shumar. Members are asked for verificaiton even when the option is not checked in configuration. Another issue I have just noticed is that when it asks for verification in the PM, there are two instances of CAPTCHA. Even if you type both of them in it will not send the message.
I have attached two screenshots. The first is the top of a PM screen and the second the bottom part of the PM screen. This shows how the CAPTCHA is displayed twice on the PM screen.

I'm not sure. I tried using this mod on SMF 1.1.4 and encountered these issues. With the mod doing the things it does, it's useless. I understand it has to be tough to prevent spambots, but in the condition this mod is in, users can's send PMs and registering users will keep having trouble registering unless they know to click the Refresh Image link.

-- The mod (as most) only installs into English by default. for any other language, you will have to add the translations yourself.
-- Sounds like the mod did not completely install. Try manually adding the correct code to the template files.
-- you did not turn off the standard SMF CAPTCHA (or you installed this mod twice)
-- see above...
This mod seems to work just fine on 1.1.4 for me...

// --- End added code ---
I think what is happening is that this code was incrementing the on/off switch (verificationAskPM) forcing the modification on by accident.

I'm running SMF version 1.1.5. Is it possible to have advanced visual verification turned for all logins even after registration?

Probably not, I don't think it's been updated to work with the image verification changes made way back in 1.1.3 or so.

There is Visual Verification Options (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=734) if you just want to extend image verification to guest posts.
You can also use advanced search for modifications compatible for 1.1.11 that are in the anti-spam category (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=search;type=19;smf_versions=53;bool=and;submit=Search+for+Mods).

It's not really needed. Part of the functionality (verification for guest posts, searches) is built into the 2.0 series. For the other functionality, there are much better solutions such as the question/answer feature in the 2.0 series. The whole concept of CAPTCHA images is broken and has been for years since there are now services that easily charge $1 (or less) per 1,000 solutions done by human workers. For reference, see:
