Support for smf 2.0 is now available!
And what about users who are visually impaired?
Web site operators in the UK are bound by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Ireland by its Disability Act 2005, and US governmental websites by the Section 508 rule (which is under consideration to be expanded to any site in the US in theory), as well as test cases being brought in Australia for accessibility.
Regarding support for visually impaired users, we have a proven short term solution. However, this short term solution is undeniably inconvenient. Therefore we have plans for a better long term solution.
Recently via direct communication I personally assisted a visually impaired user in passing a Peoplesign challenge. I was inspired by his patience and resourcefulness in the context of the obvious inconvenience he incurred by having to contact us.
We have an audio version of the service in the works. We think you'll like it. Please be patient while we complete this difficult feature. Complex functional software can't be conjured up on a whim. Until it's ready, please understand that visually impaired users already have a workable albeit inconvenient method of passing peoplesign challenges.
I installed peoplesign at my forum.
http://www.united-tutorials-registration.com/
I manually installed in the Mesh theme as was written at the peoplesign modification page here on smf.
It seems to work great, the spammers stay away (and a got 6 a day) and I got some new members so I guess it works fine for people to get registered.
But at my admin error log i get pages of errors like this.
"8: Use of undefined constant PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL - assumed 'PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL'
File: /home/unitedtu/public_html/Themes/mesh_114/languages/Modifications.english.php
Line: 145"
in that php at line 145 is this ". '<a href=\"'. PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL . '\">here</a> to '
146 . 'verify you\'re a human.</p>';
I really hope you can help me out, I would love to keep this mod.
Thank you.
Thanks Spuds, I changed what you told me to and those error messages are gone now.
I tried the peoplesign out to see if it still works fine and then went back to the error log and I see this error.
"8: Undefined index: peoplesign_NO_FRAMES_MESSAGE_2
File: /home/unitedtu/public_html/Sources/peoplesignMessages.php
Line: 17"
maybe this error messages only comes when people use peoplesign?
Thank you Spuds, I changed it and I think I have no error's anymore.

Hello,
Since I updated my forum to 1.1.13, ajaxchat doesn't work anymore. I get errors with Peoplesign :
Use of undefined constant PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL - assumed 'PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL'
Fichier: /xxx/forum/Themes/default/languages/Shout.french.php (eval?)
in errors log in admin (+2000 errors /3 minutes)
I also get
Notice: Use of undefined constant PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL - assumed 'PEOPLESIGN_CHALLENGE_URL' in /home/jmmathe/xxx/forum/Sources/Load.php(1737) : eval()'d code on line 21
I can't get to uninstall Peoplesign... Even when I delete files and entries in mysql, errors still come up.
Any idea ?
Ok ! Problem solved after doing this : http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=430540.msg3028767#msg3028767
Sorry for the delay in fixing this. I'm now setup to get notifications on this topic so I'll be more responsive in the future.
Thanks for the mod. It's a very interesting and nice idea, and it looks promising. I will however hold off with trying it until there is some sort of solution for visually impaired people, in order not to exclude anyone.
I would also really like to be able to have the actual PeopleSign interface in Swedish (I e the "Choose the best match for picture" text and similar messages).
As far as I can make out, the mod only supports the registration screen for the time being, and that doesn't cut it for me. In order for it to be useful, I would also like to be able to add PeopleSign to guest posting, when guests are posting on forums with guest posting enabled.

I just added this mod yesterday to two of my SMF 1.1.14 forums and am filling my error log with the same error, apparently it occurs with every register action:
8: Undefined Index: peoplesign_options
File: / /home/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Register.template.php (before sub template - eval?)
Line 156
Note: Since this forum does not allow copy and paste, I had to type out the error message so there may be errors in the error message:-) Are they (SMF support forums) ever going to fix this?
This problem should have been fixed in version 1.5 of our mod. Maybe you're using an older version?

Well, I downloaded it from the SMF mods page yesterday and it said 1.5. The only way I could have downloaded an older version was to unclick the dot box and then click 1.4, I did no such thing.
I think it's due to my using version 1.1.14, it probably effects this mod in some way. Have you checked the compatibility for 1.1.14?
This is very odd. I don't think it's related to your use of SMF 1.1.14. I upgraded my system from 1.1.13 to to 1.1.14, did a sample registration, and didn't see any error messages.
If anyone else has the above error message in your log file (viewed from the SMF admin), please leave a post.
When I did a fresh install of 1.1.14, I was able to trigger the problem. I've found the source of the problem and will be releasing a new version (1.6) soon.

Soon? Assuming it's a few lines of code, can you tell us what the source of the problem is so we can fix it ourselves? Between my two forums, I'm getting about 100 errors in a 24 hour period!
I'm sorry for the ambiguous 'soon'. Below is a manual fix. WARNING: If you manually change a file, it will prevent the corresponding package from being uninstalled cleanly.
Since this is only a problem of log file pollution (correct me if I'm wrong) I'm going to delay 1.6 until the end of this week (6-19-2011) so I can also deliver support for SMF 2.0.
Here's the fix.
WARNING: CatfishEd reported this fix doesn't work! Your mileage may vary.
Open /home/public_html/forum/Themes/default/Register.template.php, go to Line 156.
replace
$modSettings['peoplesign_options']
with
!empty($modSettings['peoplesign_options']) ? $modSettings['peoplesign_options'] : ''
I really hope you are going to make a version for SMF 2.0, Just upgraded and I miss it already.

Well thanks, I followed your directions right down to the last " and it disabled my registration settings page altogether showing a paragraph or two of error info. I figured I could revert back using my backup copy of Register.template.php but instead it totally removed peoplesign from my registration page. It's still listed in my packages as installed so I guess I'm totally screwed. >:( :( And now Stop Forum Spam is down so I'm hanging out there begging for more spam and I'll have to check each one individually. >:(
Edit! Edit! I got my Register.template.php from my other forum, also with Peoplesign and sent that up and reinstalled the key. Now at least I'm back to square 1 and anxiously awaiting your fix. (either version 1.6 or a correction that works for sure) That scared the heck out of me, I had spammers signing up every minute and no way to stop them. :o There's definitely something wrong with your manual fix, I was very careful to make sure I was doing exactly what was instructed and it exploded.
Martine:
Thank you! I finally begun work on 2.0 support yesterday and it's coming along.
CatfishEd:
Yikes, sorry that manual fix didn't work for you. Please be patient as I work on 1.6.
Glad to hear Dave. Thank you
I'm looking forward to a version for SMF 2.0.
peoplesignDave: Is there any way you could add PeopleSign to the post screen for guests (optionally), instead of just the registration screen in any upcoming version as I mentioned earlier? It would be very useful, as guest posting is a huge culprit for spam and I really don't want to disable guest posting either.
Good call Daniel. This feature is targeted for the upcoming release. (I'm working on it right now, actually)
That's great.
Is there any way to add more languages to the PeopleSign interface itself (I e the "Choose the best match for picture" text and similar messages)? Those aren't included in the language file modifications, and for the mod to be really useful to me I would really like to have those messages in Swedish. I can of course provide the translation of everything, if necessary.
Yes, you can definitely do that. I'm glad you asked.
To change the messages in the Peoplesign UI go to http://peoplesign.com/main/customize.html. We offer preset translations for 20 languages and the ability to customize each message (e.g. "Choose the Best Match.." etc).
Our customization tool outputs a string that you can copy/paste into the Peoplesign section of the SMF admin. No code changes are needed.
Thank you for offering to provide a Swedish translation: we don't have one yet. I will email you a list of the messages so we don't clutter this thread.
Finally, the code for compatibility with SMF 2.0 is complete! For 2.0 forums, we will support protection for guest posting, guest search and guest report posts in addition to registration.
There is one cosmetic issue that I need to fix before releasing, and I also must retest support for 1.1.x forums. I must sleep now but anticipate a release within 24 hours.
Thank you Dave, you get some rest you did a great job already.
we will see it when it is ready.
Version 1.6 is here! (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2965)Changes:
- added support for SMF 2.0
- fixed another cause of annoying (but harmless) error log messages
Also, thanks to Daniel Hofverberg for providing a Swedish translation for the Peoplesign challenge UI. This translation and 20 others can easily be applied on SMF or any of our other plugin platforms (Joomla, PHPBB, etc) using our innovative customization system (http://peoplesign.com/main/customize.html).

Thanks for your super fast action.
Please excuse my ignorance but do I uninstall and delete version 1.5 from my packages list and then install version 1.6 or do I leave version 1.5 and install version 1.6 as well? I looked around for any instructions on this but found none.
Thanks in advance for your patience with me. :)
You're welcome. Your question is quite reasonable. I recommend the following procedure to upgrade:
1) click 'Uninstall' next to version 1.5 in the package list
2) (Optional) 'Delete' 1.5 from the package list
3) Upload version 1.6, then click 'Apply Mod'
Let me know if you have any problems.
Thank you very much Dave, I am going to install it today and let you know how it works.
Seems to work great with smf 2.0 Dave thanks again.

I installed 6.0 as per your instructions on both of my forums about 3 hours ago and both forum error logs are still empty now. It's stopping the bot attacks cold and doing it without any errors.
Fantastic mod! Thanks for not only creating it but keeping it up to date as well. You really rock!(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fcatfished.com%2Frock.gif&hash=9aad35be045d617d191e288f9a542d1060843e47)

Sorry Ed, I'm in the process of moving. I should have said something. Can't get to this until next week.
Note to all: the issue here is a harmless but unwanted error message in the log file.
Did you recently upgrade to a new version of php on your system? Or maybe you changed the logging sensitivity?
Quote from: peoplesignDave on July 16, 2011, 11:03:21 AM

Nope, I did neither one. I'm glad to hear it's harmless. Thanks for your response.
I'm getting the following error accessing our forum.

Any ideas how I can restore this without backing up as I don't have latest database backup?
is there a way to disable the PEOPLESIGN mod from the database?
Best regards,
well, I have managed to download the whole forum and database to my local server ( pc) without changing anything and
It really works fine , its just on the server that I get this error.

I have contacted the hosting company

I did delete all the extra unnecessary data but I still get the message

I have downloaded this mod, proceed to install it on my 1.1.14 board, but I get this after trying to upload:
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.
Any idea?...
Anyone? At all?
I wish I could help, mine installed flawlessly on my 1.1.14 board. Hopefully peoplesignDave will pop in here since it's his mod.

I guess peoplesignDave is on a hiatus or has given up altogether., Too bad, it's a great mod.
I installed this mod last night,,, Spammers are still registering and by passing the image security how can that be?

I have no idea. It's been working great for me. Before I installed it I would get several bot registrations daily, now I get an occassional human spammer but not often. Perhaps something went wrong with your install?

Well! I give up!! I'm still getting these errors in my forum error logs and Dave has never returned to help us. I guess it's another example of someone creating a mod and then deserting the support thread after awhile:-(

Actually, I haven't had any serious problems with the present version other than a few of those error messages. I believe Dave said they weren't serious but I'm a fussy guy, hate any error messages.
You might want to consider installing it and see how it goes. It certainly does gets rid of the spambots. The only spammers getting in are using humans to register and I haven't encountered many of those.
Now, suddenly this morning I had about 75 spam signups between my two forums. Until this morning I was averaging about one every other day on them. It's as if the bots finally figured out how to break the code.
I'm also getting a lot of these errors this morning:

I guess I'll have to give up! This and stop spammer was the only spam mod that I could figure out how to install. Now this no longer works so I can't use SMF anymore unless I want to spend all day deleting spambots. I wish someone could come up with a simple solution for this. All the other ones that work require a genius programmer type to figure out how to install properly and the guy that did this mod has disappeared off the face of the earth.:-(
Well, evidently I overreacted, everything went back to normal yesterday afternoon and has remained so. My guess is that the PeopleSign image gallery/database or whatever it is was down for a few hours yesterday morning.
It still would be nice if Dave or someone connected with PeopleSign would post here once in awhile so we would know that the mod is still being supported.
Just recently I have been getting a lot of spam registrations so I checked and am getting this error message on the registration page:
ERROR: peoplesign clientCan't get socket to peoplesign host (Connection refused: [111]) ERROR: peoplesign clientpeoplesign is unavailble (serverUnreachable) peoplesign is unavailble
Can you tell me what the problem may be? I am running SMF 2.0.1 and the site is www.boisecameraclub.org/blog
Early yesterday morning their site went down so I started getting a bunch of spam registrations but it went back to normal later on yesterday morning. Other than that time frame, I have no idea as to what's causing your problem.
The guy that should be here answering your questions (peoplesigndave) hasn't been heard from in ages. It's a great mod but there is no support for it anymore. I wish someone would take it over.
Does anyone know if this mod will work for version 2.o.4 yet?
Anyone?
If ya still looking at this have a read of the mod emulate link in my signature.
I use this mod (1.6) on my sfm version 2.0.14.
It works good, but the traffic goes over http in stead of https.
Now much browsers don't show the verification, so new users can't register.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Edit:
It's more easy than I thought.
Find file smf\Sources\peoplesignClient.php
and change http to https on line 31 and line 34
