Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

[RenesCopper]

What's the difference? Mod vs plugin? I have perused these 22 pages and am still confused, as this topic started several years ago. and undoubtedly some of this is out-of-date.

The plugin topic is under Support > Plugins > Plugin contributions

I have been using Captcha V3.0 for ages without any problems but now when I log in I get the error 'confirmation code didn't match'.  I followed the advise in a previous thread as follows:

"I was able to add comment on your website. Check http://www.kidsandcolors.com/colorina_colors-1355.html and you will see a comment 'Nice horse' added by me. Make sure that 5 letters are coming in the image. If not then reupload the fonts directory. Also make sure that the image reads different letters every time you refresh a page. If not then that means the image is coming from your cache and is not the correct image."

However, I still can't fix the problem and can no longer log in.  Any ideas?

This is captcha mod thread and i presume you are using captcha plugin. Post your issue in relevant thread.

[RenesCopper]

Is there a updated version of this Captcha? Is it only for comments? Or can it be used for registering?

[Abbas Ali]

No updated version for this mod. Use Captcha plugin instead.

Is it only for comments? Or can it be used for registering?

For registration page there is my "extension" of this mod, if you can't or don't want to use the plugin.

@goku: Stop the wannabe-gangster gibberish - I already told you:

You have been told to post proper English - why don't you start doing as you have been told? Avoid wannabe-slang expressions like "nuthing", "plz", "coz", "dono" and so on, as this is an international forum - you can't expect people to understand your (pseudo-)cool slang. "Lolz" falls into the same category of words you should not use. I suggest to apply proper capitalization instead and be more carefull when composing your replies to make sure that there are less typos. This increases search-engine-friendliness as well as readability. Thank you.

It's "because", not "coz". It's "you", not "u". It's "please", not "plz". The words "im really depressed" should be "I'm really depressed". You're banned from posting for two days to take a look at a dictionary. Next ban will be permanent.

You have spread your postings over various threads, which is not a bright idea neither (but rather a breach of board rules):

• Support > cpg1.4.x Support > cpg1.4 plugins > cpg1.4 plugin contributions > Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for comments/registration/reporting/login/ecard
• No Support > Modifications/Add-Ons/Hacks > Mods: Miscellaneous > [Mod] Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for new users registration

I'd really like to use this mod as I get alot of spam comments but when I go to edit theme.php I get this on all themes:


// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
// This theme has all CORE items removed                                     //
// ------------------------------------------------------------------------- //
define('THEME_IS_XHTML10_TRANSITIONAL',1);

?>



What do I do?

[Joachim Müller]

Read the thread you're replying to closely, as you question has been asked and answered already many times over. If you can't get the mod to work, use the plugin version instead - the initial posting contains reference to it just as well.

I've looked through what people are saying and something is still wrong in my theme.php

I've attatched my theme.php as a .txt file

Use the plugin instead of this mod.

Hi,
I did the Captcha unzip and install as states here:
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,29564.0.html
I also used this link http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html and the instructions below:

Installation:
==========
0. Uninstall any older version of this plugin
1.Copy captcha folder to your plugins folder
2.Use plugin manager to install it
3.Copy captcha.php to gallery root

Now after installation my site is completely gone and displaying this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /usr/local/4admin/apache/vhosts/MasterDomain.com/addon/MyWebSite.com/themes/rainy_day/theme.php on line 23

What do I do now?
Thanks.
           THIS IS THE CODE FROM Theme.php

A you using captcha mod or captcha plugin? If plugin then you should ask for help in the plugin thread and not here.

[1PLM]

Thanks for the quick feedback. Yours truly I do not know the difference between the Mod  and the Plugin, but the one I downloaded and installed was from this link:http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html
 I installed the Captcha_3_0.zip. Was it the correct thing I downloaded?

[Abbas Ali]

Then ask for help in that thread only - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html

[1PLM]

I Think in my confusion I downloaded the  Captcha_3_0.zip Plugin and used  installation instructions for the Mod.(using the installations instructions of the Mod in place of installation instruction for the Plugin - by accident).
Now I intend to backtrack and try to delete whatever lines I added to existing files and also remove the folders to see if i can get my site back up. The site is http://www.AmericaOnCamera.com
Thanks.
