Hi,
Our board has been getting hit with a lot of spam bots. A while back I tried installing reCaptcha but it didn't install correctly and required some template edits which I didn't have time to do. So the problem persisted. Today I tried installing Are you Human and Anti Bot Registration Puzzle. Now when I click on the registration link I get a Template Parse Error! page. I tried uninstalling those packages (all three) to no avail.
Here's an error for my log:

File: /home/nedocorg/public_html/forums/Themes/default/Register.template.php (before sub template - eval?)
Line: 201
Since I've removed the packages I still get the Parse page but I don't have any new entries into my error log.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Attach your /Themes/default/Register.template.php file here.
Here you go!
Can you go to Admin > Packages and confirm that the Anti-Bot mod was uninstalled? It should give you an option to install it now, so that would be a good indication that it was previously removed. If that checks out then try using the attached file to see if it fixes the problem.
That worked! Thanks so much. Now, can I go back and attempt to use one of those anti bot packages or no?
No problem. Glad it worked out.
Yes, you may install those Anti-bot mods if you like. Just make sure to do any edits for your custom theme templates if they apply. Most likely they will not apply, so you should not need to make any manual changes. To find out, go to one of the mod's page and right underneath the download links are the manual installation link. Choose your SMF version and submit it. See if any of your custom theme template files are mentioned. If not, just install it via Package Manager and it should work with both your default and custom themes.
Crap, I just found out that I still have a problem. At first I couldn't click on the Register link. Uploading the new php file made the Register link work but if you actually go through and attempt to actually register a new member I get a screen that reads "An Error Has Occurred!"
Now what? :-[
I checked our site's error log and here's the message we get when people try to register:

If anyone has a minute to help out with this I'd appreciate it. I hate to think that potential members are just giving up...
Apparently the related language string is missing
Check out your Modifications.english.php
$txt['puzzle_3'] = 'THREE';
and if you don't have such a line,then add it before
?>
I added that line to forums/themes/pdx-dk-09i/languages/modifications.english.php at the end just before ?> and tried to register a new user. I got the same error screen after submitting. Our error log generated this:

Did I enter it incorrectly or in the wrong place perhaps?
As i see all language strings related to puzzle mod are missing on your forum
also
in Modifications.english.php

OK, now I get an error that states:
You did not complete the anti-bot puzzle. Please try again.
I'm certain I entered the letters of the puzzle correctly (I listened to them to double check).
I can't not say what is exactly wrong with your codes,but sth. went wrong with your Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles mod
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse;mod=1078;attach=51788;smf_version=1.1.7
I would suggest you to check your codes manually via installation instuctions from above
Good advice - I was missing some code in my register.template.php file. I added it and now it works.
Thanks for all your help Duncan!
i tryied to install recaptcha, but now i-m getting the error as above
Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/Register.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.
also in the error log i get:
8: Undefined variable: php_errormsg
File: /home/comunitate/www/forum/Sources/Load.php
Line: 1833
what to do ? i-ve tryied everything
i don-t want to reinstal a whole forum for this template :(
