Topic: reCAPTCHA for SMF

[landyvlad]

So is this actually working 'out of the box' for 2.0.15 these days?

Also why are some mods distributed as tar.gz when the package manager requires a Zip format ?

[Arantor]

Package manager can handle both tar.gz (aka tgz) and zip just fine.

[landyvlad]

Hmm, maybe it was some other format I had trouble with. Thanks Arantor

As an aside - is a tar.gz also known as a "tarball" or is that a whole other Linux type thing?

[Arantor]

Yeah, that’s a tarball. Basically, tar is a thing that bundles everything up into a single file, and then you compress it separately, which is why tar.bz2 and tar.gz exist - tar is the bundle, gz or bz2 is the compression.

[GigaWatt]

Think of a tarballs like an ISO image . It's similar .

Hmm, maybe it was some other format I had trouble with. Thanks Arantor

There was a mod that was accidentally compressed in rar instead of zip, but I can't remember the mod right now .

[landyvlad]

thanks

Hi,

I added your mod today, latest version, and this is the error I have on my site now:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting ')' in /home/tapandtr/public_html/period/forum/Sources/recaptcha/autoload.php on line 8

can you please help me out here? I did the manual backup but nothing changed...

Make sure you read through the past pages in this topic. Users have been updating the mod to help each other out. A lot of fixes are published in here randomly.

Well, the code that demands verification and issues the questions is within a loop.

If visual verification has been requested the loop shows this first, then adjusts the index into the question list accordingly (to ensure it starts at 0).

If reCaptcha is involved the loop index isn't adjusted so the questions subscript goes out of bounds.

By setting visual verification to NONE the above fix will work if reCaptcha is installed and switched on.

If both visual verification AND reCaptcha are needed, the above fix may need changing, to something like this (untested):

Code: (Change To) [Select]

// Where in the question array is this question?
$qIndex = $verify_context['show_visual'] ? $i - 1 : $i;
                        $qIndex = $verify_context['use_recaptcha'] ? qIndex - 1 : qIndex;

Any update I using the 2.0 version and even this change gives same error message.

What error message?

What's your antispam setup configured as?

Mine is set to:

Use reCAPTCHA Verification System:    checked
Visual verification image to display:    none
Number of verification questions user must answer:    2

With those, the amendment I have in GenericControls.template.php is

Code: [Select]

// Where in the question array is this question?
$qIndex = ($verify_context['show_visual'] || $verify_context['use_recaptcha']) ? $i - 1 : $i;

... and it all works fine. For me. With those settings.

[Deaks]

Use reCAPTCHA Verification System:    checked
Visual verification image to display:    medium
Number of verification questions user must answer:    1

and that above edit in the file

getting

8: Undefined offset: 1 Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file File: /home/<<somesime>>/public_html/Themes/default/GenericControls.template.php
Line: 348

[Shambles]

What can I say? Turn off your visual verification system [=none]. Why need both visual systems?

[Deaks]

after posting i  updated that seems to be the issue ... weird lol

I tried to run reCAPTCHA for SMF without success

have error talking about letters not matching.

I tried to replace code as said by Sh@mbles but have the same error.

my setup :

I want to use reCAPTCHA only

Use reCAPTCHA Verification System: checked

Visual verification image to display: none

Number of verification questions user must answer:  0

use a custom theme but there is no GenericControls.template.php

There are multiple code changes throughout this topic that you may need to apply.

It would be nice if someone would compile a new version from all of these past fixes and create a new package.

Using this

Code: [Select]

$qIndex = ($verify_context['show_visual'] || $verify_context['use_recaptcha']) ? $i - 1 : $i;
Does not solve the issue for me.

I have enabled:
- visual captcha (SMF built-in)
- two custom answers (SMF built-in)
-  ReCaptcha...

Replacing the old code line with the one above simply hides ReCaptcha.

Code: [Select]

           
$qIndex = $verify_context['show_visual'] ? $i - 1 : $i;
$qIndex = $verify_context['use_recaptcha'] ? qIndex - 1 : qIndex;

Also does not work. Hides Recapcha and text is ":" for the custom questions/answers
