captcha image

[MACscr]

Can we make the captch image background a little more plain or some type of color like a like grey? Something more neutral. Its pretty ugly and its hard to make to make it look good when integrating with existing sites.

Hey,

I don't know why we even have it! I know the reason for it but never liked those... I say have an on and off button.

You can change the background. The file you need to edit is "images/verify.png"

i agree with adam, you should be able to turn it on or off, i hate it aswell, yeah it may have a purpose, but at the moment my site isnt too big so i doubt its gonna get abused...

The captcha image can be removed from the domain availability checker page. It requires a simple template edit.

To do this, open the file "domainchecker.tpl" and replace the following code on line 23:


includes/verifyimage.php <input type="text" name="code" size="10" maxlength="5">

with this:


<input type="hidden" name="direct" value="true">

Just wondering if the code can be instructed to except small caps also. Not a major problem but if using it you need to change the lang file to warn customers that it is case senitive. Most site are not so turn off case senitive wouold be a great bonus.

Agreed.

that takes about half the security away from it. not bad to give it as an option i guess. Btw, its called lower case, not small caps. =P

I say the same. Have an on and off button everywhere where captcha maybe wanted (or not) at a particular time.

This would be nice.

Matt,

Would it be possible to have the system check the active template's images folder for verify.png and use that if available? When not available it would fall back on the default included background. This way we can keep our custom (less ugly) background following upgrades.

Thanks!

I would like to see it update to a modern captcha, this one allows every site owner to fully customize, font, font-size, font-color, line color, background color, number of letters, mp3 audio to read letters to visitor.

In my opinion the capcha size is too big and intrusive.

I'm very happy about having a capcha and love the ability to turn it off once someone is logged in (which I do). It doesn't matter how big or popular your website is because it only takes 1 bot to find your contact form without a capcha and you will be getting 20+ spam emails per day.

The option to remove the domain search captcha work perfect. Only to register is active.

Hi - this no longer works in latest version 5.03.

Any advice please as adding the above, it is still looking for the captcha code (in bulk domain transfer)
Thanks

This maybe work:

Find on line 28 (domainchecker.tpl):


{if $capatacha}
<div class="captchainput">
<p>{$LANG.captchaverify}</p>
{if $capatacha eq "recaptcha"}
<p>{$recapatchahtml}</p>
{else}
<p><img src="includes/verifyimage.php" align="middle" /> <input type="text" name="code" class="small" maxlength="5" /></p>
{/if}
</div>
{/if}

Add code:


<input type="hidden" name="direct" value="true">

Thanks a lot kanum, for great tutorial.....

Glad i found this thread as i also found it a pain on the domain checker page.

FYI this does work in the latest v5 as Matt suggested earlier.

On another note, id like to put this forward as a feature request for the next version to be able to turn off captcha independently from pages rather than just on and off.

We should not have to keep modifying template files for simple things like this.

[sol2010]

Yay, great - it works!

Now all I need is how to enable "select multiple" with one click.... it's a pain to have to select each tick box - any suggestions?

We've developed an addon that leverages AKISMET spam detection within the WHMCS ticketing system. If anyone is interested in being a beta tester, visit this thread and respond. We just got sick and tired of spam messages even when captcha was enabled. :)

This trick doesn't work on multiple domain check even if you change bulkdomainchecker.tpl - the template for bulk domain check. Any other solutions ?

[sahostking]
