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.

If you could, that would be awesome :).
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.

Your advanced coding makes makes my code look so simple ;)

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.

I may have a look at this. But not right today.

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 can't get this mod to work.  Is there some chmod permissions that i need to change? 

edited-----------
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.

If you tell us what errors you are getting, we can better help you.

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.

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.

Can you please first check them to ON, save it, and then make them OFF again?

I've got a few reports about this issue and I'll fix them in the next release.

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.

Harzem

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?

Many thanks. I knew it would be that simple.  :-[

Now that I've got the install completed, I've started getting these errors as well. The registration works perfect though.

Love the mod..

Would be nice to see a listing of members who have locked themselves out for XX mins..

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