reCAPTCHA for SMF

8: Undefined index: recaptcha_challenge_field
File: /Sources/Register.php
Line: 183

I am getting this error presently. Like mentioned above I had to manually install this so if possible a manual fix would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Im using Beta4 and just had the same issue crop up undefined index recaptcha_challenge_field but there are no such entriews in the lang files.

I'm getting the same error in my error log. I don't believe I see any replies or answers to these 2 person's posts. What does this error mean?

By the way if I want to update from 0.9.5.4a to 0.9.5.4b, do I just run the latter or I've to uninstall 0.9.5.4a first?

It's due to not checking if the variable is set before looking at it. It's harmless, but I don't like seeing it either so I'll be hopefully fixing it in the next bugfix release.

Specifically, that value won't be set if the field in the reCAPTCHA box was left blank. This usually means a human didn't see it, a bot skipped it, or a bot is trying to submit form values directly to the registration form.

By the way if I want to update from 0.9.5.4a to 0.9.5.4b, do I just run the latter or I've to uninstall 0.9.5.4a first?

The only difference between the two is that the b release will install on 2.0 RC1-1 without the emulation string. No code was changed. If things are working, don't mess with it. Number changes indicate code changes so you only need to worry about those.

Ok thanks for the clarifications!

t is possible to install recaptcha response to Post

t is possible to install recaptcha response to Post

Yes, it is on SMF 2.0. With SMF 2.0, it takes the place of the built-in image verification.

This is not currently supported in SMF 1.1 because it would require adding additional capability beyond the scope of the modification. I was thinking of a special package that works along with Visual Verification Options, but have not had the motivation to write it.

ok thanks

[Quarks]

Greetings friends. 
I just installed reCAPTCHA on one of my SMF forums (1.1.9) that is heavily bombarded by spam bots. If it solves the problem magnificently you will know because I wont post in this thread again, so no news is good news.

thanks

Your custom theme probably has a different template for that part of the admin area, which isn't reading those settings properly.

Just to say thanks a lot - have got it working now (yes, had a custom template which I hadn't changed).

Getting this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function recaptcha_check_answer() in /home/thepro/public_html/theproweb.co.cc/forums/Sources/Register.php on line 184

when trying to register with recaptcha on

[青山 素子]

Did you install manually? If so, you need to copy recaptchalib.php to the Sources directory.

[ThePro]

i installed using package manager.

[青山 素子]

The only thing I can think is that either the recaptchalib.php file isn't in the Sources directory, or the require for it isn't in Sources/Register.php.

Same here with version 1.1.10

[青山 素子]

What other modifications or changes have you done? I have tested on a clean 1.1.10 install (well, not clean - it had my other mods on it) for confirmation before I bumped compatibility on the mod page, and it installed cleanly.

[joshposh]

Ihave these packages installed:

Gravatar
Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio
AJAX Instant Quick Reply
Country Flags
Twitter Field
Todays Birthday
Hide "Logged" and IP Image
Spoiler Tag

[青山 素子]

The Country Flags modification is changing the code point that this modification is depending on. You'll probably want to make the single failed edit manually. You can find instructions by going to the mod download page and choosing to view the manual installation instructions.

Motoko-chan, just wanted to thank you for this great addition to standard ("cracked") captcha...
Now, why don't you point guys by reCAPTCHA.net to list your Mod under "Plugins" in http://recaptcha.net/resources.html - it surely would also promote SMF to the world... 


P.S. One functional suggestion: As described here http://wiki.recaptcha.net/index.php/I18n it would be good to add a custom translated string for the text in reCAPTCHA window... I did the dirty one only by changing:

Code Select Expand


if ($context['use_recaptcha'])
{
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
var RecaptchaOptions = {
theme : \'', empty($modSettings['recaptcha_theme']) ? 'clean' : $modSettings['recaptcha_theme'] , '\',
};
</script>

with

Code Select Expand


if ($context['use_recaptcha'])
{
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
var RecaptchaOptions = { 
theme : \'', empty($modSettings['recaptcha_theme']) ? 'clean' : $modSettings['recaptcha_theme'] , '\',
custom_translations : { instructions_visual : "Here is my new text:"}
};
</script>

I've contacted the folks running reCAPTCHA four times about this, and they still haven't done anything. I've kinda given up.

I'll look into that.

Sad to hear that... I will write them now, maybe I'll have a little more luck

I'll look into that.

Great, thanks!
