How to make a Profile Field text in registration with caracter verification. Example:

How do you know the forum:
Type at least 15 letters.

And then if he's don't achieve the minimum set will go wrong.

Just completing my question, that will be the best but if don't have i could work the use of multiple captcha. Already search and did not find anything in MODs

Sounds like you're trying to combat spammer registrations. Why not just use the built-in registration questions? Not sure a profile field is what you even need anyway. Registration questions would do the trick. Write some that your potential members would know the answer to in regards to the purpose of your site.

Right now i'm looking in the Sources/register.php on line 752 and i'm trying to copy the captcha.

OK, you are trying to make registration more difficult for guests? Why?

Even if you are not trying to combat a spam you can use mashby suggestion since your whole idea is to make registration difficult, right?

I have a DayZ server and need to stop hackers because Anti hack engine alone is crap. So if i make exaustive registration at my forum i guess hackers will decrease because imagine have to fill 20 captchas. I know this can sound crazy but the chargin money to register will over with my server, so i'm looking all others alternatives. Players the only wanna play will only do that 1 time. But Hacker will have to do this over and over and over at least one time he will drop hacker.

registration questions you are saying those anti spam question or custom fields? Because an custom field could work but the problem is because don't have minimum text only max.

How to set multiple captcha or set up a minimum limit character in custom fields.

Kindred

huh?

not sure I understand your question...
why would you ever use multiple captchas per page?

However, don't bother with CAPTCHA. The bots have already broken it and it no longer serves its intended purpose.  Instead, add some questions (under smf admin > security > anti-spam)

Additionally... it looks like you already have an open thread, AND have had one duplicate thread alreayd deleted.

STOP opening new threads. Answer the people and the questions in your original thread.

OK. I was trying last  night edit php codes no sucessfull. My multiple captcha is not for bots it is for user and as i already said custom fields don't have minimum characters. Like that the user only need to put 1 character and will be registered. I need to force the user to make a "redaction" with minimum of example 150 words. Right now i have to look each registered. I need the be automatcly

in other words, you are trying to
a) do something that the system is not intended to do
b) annoy the hell out of your possible users and convince them to go somewhere else.
