Random Verification Questions
Version: 1.00 Date 2009-8-8
Compatibility: SMF 1.1.7..???
Features
Adds Random verification questions. You can add up to 2 questions which must be answered by the applicant before registration is permitted.
The administrator creates up to 2 text files of questions and answers with "~" delimiter and places the files in the Sources directory. the registration program then parses the file and randomly selects a Q & A from each file and presents them on the registration screen.
These can be used for anti spam as in the original Mod or for registering a community of people who have common knowledge of the questions being asked.
(this is the reason I made the Modifications to this Mod....)
The questions should be kept relatively short to be able to fit on one line per question. the text file can have any name, but must use the format
What month is has 28 days normally~february
What state is the largest~alaska
What color are bananas~yellow
Configuration
The settings for this modification are located in Admin -> Members -> Registration -> Settings.
Nice mod zepp, it could be very userful as spam prevention....
Regards.
Thanks,
I'm glad it might be useful for others....
I would like to start doing more programming, and this is a cool way to hone the skills needed. Any feedback or insight is welcomed.

at every reg i see this on error log:
8: Undefined offset: 1
File: /blablabla/forum/Sources/Register.php
Line: 201the code block is:
Quoteif (!empty($modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1']) && file_exists($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1']))
{
$QA_file = fopen($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_1'], 'r');
while(!feof($QA_file))
$qna[]= fgets($QA_file);
fclose($QA_file);
array_pop($qna);
shuffle($qna);
$qna = explode("~", $qna[0]);
$modSettings['rnd_ver_ques_1']= $qna[0];// question from file
$txt['rnd_ver_ans_1'] = $qna[1];//answer from file
}
if (!empty($modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2']) && file_exists($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2']))
{
$QA_file = fopen($sourcedir . '/' . $modSettings['rnd_ver_file_2'], 'r');
while(!feof($QA_file))

fclose($QA_file);

$modSettings['rnd_ver_ques_2']= $qna[0];// question from file
$txt['rnd_ver_ans_2'] = $qna[1];//answer from file
}
}

Take a look at your Modifications.english.php and search for that string.
