reCAPTCHA for SMF

[Anglis]

Do you have any other registration modifications installed? What version of SMF?

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response,

I've got SMF 1.1.12 installed.

Nop I don't have any other registration mod installed. Just using the standard one with hardest visual verification image - but still bots are spamming my forum an really need the solution.

[Anglis]

Anyone else?

Anyone else?

Patience, I was out at the doctor's office this morning.

I unfortunately, am down a testing server (electrical work at the building where my servers are), so I can't easily test against a clean 1.1.12 install. You can try to manually install the modification on that file.

[Anglis]

Okay I can try that! But...

- Support for built-in reCAPTCHA themes

Well I am using BlueSkies theme not sure if that theme will support it?

Thanks again,

reCAPTCHA themes are different. As long as the custom theme doesn't have its own registration template it would use the default one, which has the correct changes.

i would like to inform the mod author that reCAPTCHA verification fails when this mod is used in conjunction with Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles.

i.e.
when a user enters the wrong reCAPTCHA code in the 1st attempt, a redirect is being made to the registration page.

but the user is able to continue with registration in the 2nd & further attempts even with wrong reCAPTCHA code (provided the user had entered the correct answer to the challenge in the Anti-Bot Registration Puzzles).

I'll see what I can do to improve the interaction, but depending on how the other modification is coded, this may not be possible.

Edit: Now that my servers are back up, I have filed a bug in the tracker. I'll look into this as soon as I get time.

I hope the mod author doesnt mind... I have attached a version that works with RC4.  All I did was change the package-info.xml file and it works great on my site.

This is working fine. Thanks.

[Anglis]

Installed package, then uploaded my manually edited Register.template.php, but when someone tries to log in they get this message:

Template Parse Error!

It seems something has gone sour on the forum with the template system. This problem should only be temporary, so please come back later and try again. If you continue to see this message, please contact the administrator.

You can also try refreshing this page.

Mmm... okay I'll keep experimenting.

Looks like you make a mistake in the template somewhere. I'd offer to help do it manually, but I barely have time to make this post right now.

I'm having the same problem as this member with a failed test of the Register.template.php.
I'm using a SlickPro theme, and I do not think I have any other mods that are conflicting.
I have attached a copy of the file for review...
Is there any paid support available?
Thanks

When I am trying to apply this mod it Fails on:

./Themes/default/Register.template.php    Test failed

Any idea why would that be?

Also I am using a different language on it if that makes any difference.

青山 素子, any luck with this?

Not from me at this time. My primary employment is fairly hectic right now so I wouldn't have time to schedule anyway.

I have not had time to review the issue in depth yet. I hope to once the office where I work closes for the holidays (December 20 is the start of the break).

Can anyone please help with my attached file in the post above?
Thanks

If I find time, I will try. If someone else wants to before then, they are welcome to.

hello

i use smf 1.1.12 and i have a problem. when a user want to registrate he get this error  Could not open socket


is it a problem with the mod or a server problem?

[Anglis]

Not to worry, I will give it another go this weekend.

Would someone be so kind to give me IPs which one must be set on hosting as allowed for outgoing connection (the ones that recaptcha uses).

I now recive an "could not open socket" message, so after reading this forum means for me that I must allow some IPs in outgoing manager on my hosting.

Can someone please help with these ips?

Thank you very much.

Server issue. The host needs to allow outbound connections to external HTTP servers.

You'll have to open a lot of IPs. The reCAPTCHA process needs to contact www.google.com for API access. The older API might use a different host. You can check the top of recaptchalib.php for the URLs that the server needs to contact.


Note: This is why SMF doesn't have this service built in. People would blame SMF for issues with hosts blocking access.

Thanks. I turned off outgoing manager in my hosting plan and reCAPTCHA worked nicely.
