This modification will replace the default phpFox Captcha found on the "sign up" and "contact us" form.

What is reCAPTCHA?

I'm going to try it but there is 2 instances of:

On your server open the file: /design/templates/default/_modules/Account/Signup.html

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

***You only need to do the first instance. Do not do the second or you will have two captcha's on the sign up page

Other than that, works perfect and no need to worry about small or large caps. This is what facebook and others use which is very nice. The edits above Natio provided even include the "contact us" page.

Very Nice Job Natio!

Thanks for the heads up. I edited the install guide now so others can find the correct part to edit.

Which is more stable, the Verification Code system by Phpfox or Captcha?
I'm just wondering what if Recaptcha site goes down or something.. is better to use the default by phpfox?

I personally prefer to host things myself as relying on other servers is adding to the list of things you need to think about when running a website, however reCAPTCHA is widely used and popular and I don't see their api servers going offline as I am sure their servers scale. Another bonus is reCAPTCHA has audio support which we don't, however we will with v2. reCAPTCHA will also be a choice of captchas that can be used with v2.

good addon man. I use reCaptcha not only on my phpfox site but i use it on a few other sites phpbb3 ipb etc allthough yeah it is awsome to host your own randomimage reCaptcha is widely used and isnt a pain by being case sensitive (Lower Case and capitals)

if purchased, would you be able to install for installation fee.?

ClubUgly · #8 06-16-2008, 02:56 AM

This is a free mod, but if you need help installing it, I could do for you at a small fee. Just pm me your offer and I will reply back to you.

Thanks for this one Natio, I have a question is it possible to enable capcha for mail or comments after a certain number are sent. Example a new guys signs up on my site sends 30 messages to members there 95% chance he is a spammer it would be great if admins can turn on and define how many messages/comments were sent before the capcha code appeared with an ajax effect? This would be totally awesome lets test it for V2 :D

Add this to the Feature Requests if you want it to see the light of day in V2. http://forums.phpfox.com/project.php...typeid=feature
