Title: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on March 25, 2006, 08:39:59 am
Recently i saw a lot of comment spamming on my personal gallery by bots. I thought why not implement the captcha for adding comments. I know that i can disallow Anonymous user to post comments to stop spamming but many of us don't want to do that since there are always genuine anonymous users who want to post comments.

Thanks to Edward Eliot for PhpCaptcha class which is used by this mod.

What will this mod do?

First extract the attached zip file and place captcha.php and fonts directory in your coppermine root directory. Place captcha.class.php in include directory.

Then edit lang/english.php

Add
Code: [Select]
'captcha_error' => 'The confirmation code didn\'t matched',

just after
Code: [Select]
'non_exist_comment' => 'The selected comment does not exist', //cpg1.4

Add
Code: [Select]
'confirm' => 'Confirmation',

just after
Code: [Select]
'report_comment_title' => 'Report this comment to the administrator', //cpg1.4

##############

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

just after
Code: [Select]
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],

Add
Code: [Select]
<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>

just after
Code: [Select]
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

##################

Edit db_input.php

Add

Code: [Select]
        require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, "Confirmation code didn't matched", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

just after

Code: [Select]
    case 'comment':
        if (!(USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS)) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['perm_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);


That's it. Hope this helps some of you out there....


Abbas

P.S: I don't know whether this can be done using a plugin or not. If someone can come out with a plugin then it will be better.



[edit GauGau 2007-04-05]
This wonderful mod has been turned into a plugin that you should try out as well: coppermine-gallery.net > Support > cpg1.4.x Support > cpg1.4 plugins > cpg1.4 plugin contributions >Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.0)

Thanks, Abbas! Very useful mod.  :-* I had to disable comments due to the crazy spamming. Let's see how it goes now. :)

Title: Registration form captcha?
Post by: majay on June 02, 2006, 06:20:58 pm
Hi,

I just discovered Abbas' mod to add a security code to comments, and I have been trying to find a way to apply it to the user registration form. I'm simply experimenting, to see if it could work.
Here is the mod: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0)

First, I added the captcha_error and the confirm bits from the language file under lang_register_php instead of lang_display_xxx.

So far, by adding the <tr> code in register.php, I have managed to make the Captcha appear fine on my registration page in several ways (under the Submit button, under both "required_info" and "optional_info" labels, under the password field), but no matter where I put it, the registration process does not take it into account. Ie if the verifiaction code doesn't match the image, CPG won't detect the error and the registration will go through anyway. 

I tried to insert the following code between the "password_verification" and "email" rows, just to see what would happen:

Code: [Select]
EOT;
break;
<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {$lang_register_php['confirm']}
<br>
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>

But that caused an error, as it is obviously incomplete and I assume that changes should be made within the $form_data = array( bit and perhaps the function check_user_info(&$error) bit.

I don't know enough about PHP to know what I should change/add, so I was wondering if anybody might have an idea of what should be done? Or if you think that what I'm trying to achieve is too complicated and requires real knowledge of PHP, please let me know.

Thank you!

Thanxs Abbas, nice mod, may I suggest changing the TAB index so you can tab to submit after you enter the confirmation code, and also moving the submit button after the Captcha Image?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on June 03, 2006, 01:50:37 pm
Sure why not... you can modify the code to whatever your needs be.

I do not want to sound like a total newb moron, but I just upgraded to 1.4.8 and the upgrade instructions basically have the theme.php blank. The content referenced here is not in that file. In fact, here is my theme.php content:

Doesn't exist, except in themes/sample/theme.php, even after adding the section GauGau mentions above (at least, using the default themes provided in CPG 1.4.8).

I tried renaming the "sample" theme to "testing_theme" to get it to show up in my list -- making no other changes -- and I got "Fatal Error" when I tried to use that theme (and I had to replace it with a theme.php from a theme I knew worked to get rid of the error).  I also tried not including the code Abbas Ali mentions to include after the code I quoted above and I got "Fatal Error".

Do not use the sample theme for anything else but copying parts from it into your custom theme.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on July 14, 2006, 08:34:12 am
Don't use sample theme directly...

First copy the theme_html_comments function from sample theme to your theme as suggested by GauGau.

Then copy (from sample theme to your theme)

Code: [Select]
$template_add_your_comment = <<<EOT
<table align="center" width="{WIDTH}" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">
        <tr>
                <td width="100%" class="tableh2_compact"><b>{ADD_YOUR_COMMENT}</b></td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
                <td colspan="3">
                <form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php">
                        <table width="100%" cellpadding="0px" cellspacing="0px">

Hi,

I started having problems with spammers and comments last week; I turned off the ability to add comments and then searched this forum for solutions. Thank you so much for this mod - i uploaded/edited my files this afternoon and everything seems to be working. I have since enabled comments again.  :)

Thanks to the development team for all of your work.

Beautiful Mod!

Worked perfectly first shot. Thank you!

One stupid little thing though, just grammer...

"Confirmation code didn't matched" in db_input.php probably should be...

"Confirmation code does not match"

I feel silly even mentioning it, but I'm kind of anal and you might be too.  ;D

Thanks ! You're a xavior !  Now I don't have to delete hundreds of spam messages a day. :)
I just want to clarify that if I should use another theme, I should edit the themes/mytheme/theme.php file right ?
If I don't then will my comment area break or will the confirmation code just be absent from the form ?

Thanks again !
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on July 29, 2006, 07:07:09 am
Yes you should edit theme/yourtheme/theme.php. If that block of code is not present in your theme then you should copy it from sample theme to your theme.

If you don't edit the other theme then confirmation image will be absent from comment area. But since in db_input.php we are checking whether user has specified correct confirmation code or not..it won't work. So in short every theme you use should have that confirmation code.

Abbas, when your tried my mod on my website, have you clic on ok ?
I always have this message error :
Confirmation code didn't matched 
Can you try to add a comment ?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on August 06, 2006, 05:12:13 am
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.

@Abbas & devs: should this go into the devel branch as an option? While I'm doing the comment approval clean-up, I could implement it as well.
Things that need checking before doing so:
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on August 08, 2006, 09:29:20 am
Yes this could be a config option. As far as license is concerned, the class has been released under Free BSD license. I don't know about the fonts but those came along with the class. Should I ask author about the fonts?

Here (http://www.ejeliot.com/pages/php-captcha) is the website of the author. Do get the latest class if this goes in devel.

If the above considerations could be addressed, I think this would be a great addition to the core code. We really need to deter this infestation/plague upon the internet as much as possible.

@spikeweb: Make sure you added the following line at correct place as described in my first post

Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

Please read the instructions for theme.php again from my first post.

@diane: If i understood you correctly you want to know where to upload captcha.php and captcha.class.php. Well captcha.php should be uploaded to the coppermine root folder i.e. where you have index.php of coppermine and captcha.class.php should be uploaded to "include" directory which is within your coppermine root folder.

Also please do not send PM unless asked for (diane sent me a PM).

If I understand you correctly...

Actually, it's a coincidence that clicking on an image would open the big one and another time it doesn't. Not all my intermediate images are big enough to have the larger size. Looking at the pages where you left comments in my gallery, I can see where you came to the conclusion you did. However, regardless of whether a comment is left, this is how the images are:

Not linked/no big picture:
http://takethu.com/displayimage.php?pos=-396

Linked with big picture:
http://takethu.com/displayimage.php?pos=-608

Guys,
Thanks for that mod, very usefull... at least when it will work 100% fine.
First thing, the behaviour is not similar depending on the language chosen !!! that seems really weird, as the theme doesn't change, right ??? any idea ???

e.g. in english, I've the captcha.php picture
http://www.fabski.com/images/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=8&lang=english (http://www.fabski.com/images/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=8&lang=english)
but not in french, no picture !!!
http://www.fabski.com/images/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=8&lang=french (http://www.fabski.com/images/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=8&lang=french)

second, with explorer, I've a redcross (image not found) but with Firefox, I've the image (at least in all languages but french) !

thanks for your help.

@mvyvoda: Did you modified captcha.php file? When http://www.derpishi.com/gallery/captcha.php is opened, it should show an image. But in your case the page comes blank. Also do you have error messages turned off on your server?

@kromega: Try to open http://www.fabski.com/images/captcha.php and you will see the error message. The image is drawn by sending headers to browser. If some characters gets outputted before headers are sent then that kind of error message is thrown. So i suspect that something is getting outputted in your french.php file. Make sure that you don't have a blank line before <?php and after ?> tags in your lang/french.php file.

Also the captcha image comes fine for me in IE.

Touch your Theme.inc.php is an other possibilty because you do not read carrefully you Theme.php  ;)

after

Quote
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],




then add

Good thing that I have email notification set up for everything that happens on that site otherwise some young person or parent might have seen it and I would have been clobbered.

Wonderful hack! Just a minor comment, if you're using another language than english it might be a good idea to use:

Code: [Select]
require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['captcha_error'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

instead of

   
Code: [Select]
require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, "Confirmation code didn't matched", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

in db_input.php

Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: musikalg on September 04, 2006, 02:50:02 am
I made a small modification so users who are logged in don't need to confirm, while anonymous users has to.
I haven't tested how secure this is, but it seems to work. My modification for theme.php is written for the Project VII-theme, you have to adjust it for your own theme. The trick is to write two versions of $template_add_your_comment, one for users who are logged in and one for those who aren't.

I just write the modifications necessary after you have done Abbas Alis modifications.

In db_input.php:

Instead of
Code: [Select]
require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, "Confirmation code didn't matched", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

write

Code: [Select]
if (!USER_ID) {require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['captcha_error'], __FILE__, __LINE__);
        } }

In theme.php, instead of

Code: [Select]
$template_add_your_comment = <<<EOT
        <form method="post" name="post" action="db_input.php">
                <table align="center" width="{WIDTH}" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" class="maintable">
                        <tr>
                                        <td width="100%" class="tableh2_compact"><b>{ADD_YOUR_COMMENT}</b></td>
                        </tr>
                        <tr>
                <td colspan="1">

It means you don't have freetype support on your server.

Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

Check phpinfo, look for the GD section, see if freetype is actually there. Should look similar to http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/faq.htm#VersionGD

Did you not edit db_input.php? That's the part that tests for whether the confirmation code is correct.

Thank you for the mod Abbas :)

Sorry for such a basic question but I'm new to all this PHP stuff. I;ve just taken over a website that is being bombarded with spam. Am going to try this out but falling down at the 1st hurdle - where can I find my 'Coppermine Root Directory?'

I've searched in all the folders of the website but can't find it! Again, sorry for the basic question but is it really obvious where it is?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: davidcross100 on September 06, 2006, 12:05:53 pm
Sorry everyone - I've just found it all. But I think I will have to upgrade the gallery I have as I think it is a bit out of date - some of the code mentioned doesn't exist in my coding.

However, is it right that when I download the file it only has 4 files and nothing about fonts that was mentioned in the original post?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Nibbler on September 06, 2006, 12:30:52 pm
File contains

./fonts/hurryup.ttf
./fonts/acidic.ttf
./captcha.class.php
./captcha.php

.ttf are the font files and they should be in the fonts directory.

It does not display freetype anywhere on that page I made. I can PM you the link so you can check it out. I don't want to post it openly on the forum  :)

Post by: Joachim Müller on September 07, 2006, 04:03:10 am
Haven't asked to be sent a PM. Both board rules as well as my signature say you mustn't. There goes your karma...
The phpinfo section you sent me by PM clearly shows that you don't have freetype support (see the screenshot I took from your phpinfo page). Bottom line: you can't use the captcha mod unless you have your webhost enable freetype for you. Don't ask here how to enable it - we can't help you with this. Only your webhost can. If you're self-hosted, then you just discovered one of the reasons why we don't recommend self-hosting.

Thank you for the mod, it's works great!  ;D I was suddenly getting spammed like crazy and had to turn off comments. The eyeball theme didn't fit into your original mod instructions but thank you for following up with the instructions for themes.inc.php. It would be nice if this could be released prior to 1.5, however. I think that the bots are cranked up on CPG sites right now.

Hi Abbas,

Thanks for this great mod.
I tried about everything to get this working but so far no luck.
All files doublechecked and modified ok, although i edited the Dutch language file.

Please look at a picture in my gallery and see what a mess it's making.
http://www.pdejong.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=6&pos=3

Could it be a problem with the language or with some of the themes? I also tried RainyDay but the same mess appears.

Also have my theme.php attached.

Some other info:
CPG 1.4.9
Theme PowerbookG4
Language Dutch
PHP 4.4.1
GD Support  enabled 
GD Version  bundled (2.0.28 compatible) 
FreeType Support  enabled 
FreeType Linkage  with freetype

Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: paul1959 on September 13, 2006, 04:06:29 pm
The problem is partly solved. My FTP Client probably does not like overwriting files. When i first deleted the theme.php on my webhost and uploaded it again the garbage on the screen disapeared.

What remains is the fact that i cannot see the Captcha image ( www.pdejong.com/coppermine/captcha.php ).

When comparing GD settings i see that GauGAU's Freetype linkage indicates: "with TTF library" while my settings says "with Freetype" (see attachment).
Could this be the cause of not displaying the Captcha image?

Thanks,

Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: paul1959 on September 13, 2006, 06:41:04 pm
Problem finally solved.

The problem of the not appearing Captcha image was caused by the Dutch language file. I noticed that other languages had no problems only the dutch language file. When i checked the file encoding the Dutch file used UTF-8 but others laguage files used ANSI.
Changing the Dutch file to ANSI encoding solved the problem and everything is working now!

Thanks...
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Joachim Müller on September 13, 2006, 06:43:27 pm
huh? All cpg1.4.x language files are in utf-8 (except english, which is in iso8859-1). None of them are in ANSI.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: paul1959 on September 13, 2006, 08:07:18 pm
@Gaugau: You are right of course. I assumed this to soon because both English language files are in ANSI and did not look any further.

But the fact remains that i had to change encoding of the Dutch language file to ANSI before the Captcha image appeared.
To make it even stranger, with the default dutch language file in place the captcha image appeared but of course no confirmation text.
When i opened the Dutch language file and directly saved it again without changing anything the Captcha image disappeared when refreshing the page. I tried this several times everytime using the original Dutch file from the ZIP. I also switched character encoding in cpg config but this made no difference.
This all changed for the better when i changed the encoding to ANSI for the Dutch language file.
Strange isn't it???
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on September 14, 2006, 07:11:59 am
I just tested captcha image in dutch, spanish, korean, french etc... languages and it came fine in all of them. I didn't modified anything in those lang files, they are standard cpg149 lang files.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: paul1959 on September 14, 2006, 08:28:14 am
If i use Notepad to edit the language file and save it again (keeping encoding at UTF-8) the Capcha image won't appear (red cross).
If i change the encoding to ANSI before saving everything works fine. Both apply even if nothing is changed in the file.
Using Wordpad to edit and save the file automatically saves it in ANSI encoding.

Of course my problem is solved now but this is interesting for others who encounter similar problems.

Hi !

I was trying to implement this captcha in cpg 1.4.9 but while following the instruction on implementing the second step requires editing of themes/yourtheme/theme.php but the file in question doesn't contain anything like the commands. Here is the theme I'm using themes/water_drop/theme.php it looks like this

May I copy themes/sample/theme.php to my current theme and replace the themes/water_drop/theme.php with the sample file? It seems to be there....

Thanks alot for sharing this spam blocker....

Please read the thread before you post, this has already been asked and answered. Copying the entire sample theme is not a good idea.

I've followed the instructions and double-checked everything, but the mod doesn't seem to be working right. It doesn't matter if I put in the right confirmation or not, you are still able to comment. Please see the link below for my site and the attached theme.php file that is in my water drop theme folder. Thanks for the help!  :)

Hello, Thanks for the mod!
Is it possible to remove the lines in the backgrounds picture?
I saw in captcha.class.php at line 33 the numbers of lines, but it doesn't change in the resultate:

         $iNumLines = 0, // number of noise lines to draw

Did you uploaded the fonts folder? Make sure that there are two .ttf files in that folder and that they are not partially uploaded.

Also check whether you have FreeType support in your PHP via phpinfo.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: peter2 on September 17, 2006, 08:30:06 am

Tnx Abbas for answer.

I checked fonts folder, and it is OK.

Php info:

GD Support   enabled
GD Version    bundled (2.0.12 compatible)
FreeType Support    enabled
FreeType Linkage    with freetype
GIF Read Support    enabled
JPG Support    enabled

Any other ideas  ???

Hi Loic,

I had the same problem using the Dutch lang file. Try to save your lang file with Ansi encoding. Seems strange but it worked for me!

I did what Abbas said and it works now. But your tips sounds good too since it definitly looks like a character bug (see the discussion about that bug in the french forum if you can read french)...

Anyway, thanx for your tip!  :)

I thought why not remove the root cause (i.e. lang file). If init.inc.php is not included then lang file is also not included on captcha.php. This won't hamper the captcha in any way.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: peter2 on September 26, 2006, 08:54:04 pm

I finally solved the problem... I hope..  :)

I had to add last parameter to functions imagefttext and imageftbbox (in captcha.class.php), because it is not optional in PHP Version 4.3.2

So, I changed file captcha.class.php

from:
Code: [Select]
$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);
To:
Code: [Select]
$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());
from:
Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);
to:
Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());
from:
Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iOffsetAngle, $iX + $iRandOffsetX, $iY + $iRandOffsetY, $iShadowColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);
to
Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iOffsetAngle, $iX + $iRandOffsetX, $iY + $iRandOffsetY, $iShadowColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i],array());
I hope this is OK  :-\

Hello Abbas,

thank you for the great mod for adding comments.

I did exactly according to your instructions.

the mod worked perfectly - thank you !

but I encountered a problem somewhere else - the tabs at the bottom of the page now spans across the entire page instead of the usual small squares located at the right hand corner.

I'd like the tabs like they were previously before I added the mod.

did I do something wrong?

pse help.

thanks so much.

I doubt that your pagination issue is related to using this mod, but rather the bug discussed here: "thumbnail page navigation - no image counter (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=35701.0)" :-\
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on October 11, 2006, 07:11:51 am
GauGau is right, this mod requires only comments template to be modified. So no chance of tabs getting distorted because of it.

Another possibility is that you might have made some mistake while modifying the theme file. If the thread referred by GauGau does not solve your issue then try re-applying the mod from scratch. I hope you have the backups of the modified files.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

I run the classic vertical filmstrip theme, but since that did not contain the pieces of code that needed changing
i used the sample theme.php and edited it accordingly. I edited db_input.php and english.php and dutch.php
I upload the captcha.php to the root of the album along with the fonts dir. Uploaded captcha.class.php to the include folder.

When i now click on a picture i do get a extra box saying Confirmation but there are no images beside it.
When i go the captcha.php file directly i get this error:
Code: [Select]
Cannot redeclare class phpcaptcha in /home/fototest/public_html/include/captcha.class.php on line 14
I read this post from front to back and again from back to front but found no clue. Can someone point me in the right direction ?

Thanks

Youre right,

i searched for if (!(USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS)) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['perm_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

and added the code directly after it, but there were 2 cases of "if (!(USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS)) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['perm_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);" the second one was the right one :) thanks!

Lovely mod but looks really bad in my theme, anyone have any ideas on how to make it look good with mac_ox_x theme, this is how it looks now: http://dkeserver.mine.nu/displayimage.php?pos=-148968

If you view the file directly, there is no image: http://www.ceesjoore.nl/coppermine/captcha.php

If it worked, you would see the confirmation image. I don't know if it would help, but in Config enable debug mode and see if you get a helpful error message.

If you want help, help the helpers by making it easier on them. I saw your post yesterday but disregarded it since it meant I would have to look around your site for an example. Next time, try to post a more direct url to save everybody's time.

So here is a link to 1 picture http://www.ceesjoore.nl/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=32&pos=11

I originally had the same problems as some on this board with the captcha image not showing up.  Something with GD.  Actually, it prevented me from using any gallery software until I figured it out.  GD wasn't available until I asked for it (in code).  On captcha.php, try adding
Code: [Select]
dl("gd.so"); immediately before
Code: [Select]
define("IN_COPPERMINE", true);
I'm not sure if there's a better way to do this, or if it will work for everyone, but it seemed to make things work for me.

Hi...
        Mr. Abbas I did what is written here followed all the instructions. but can not see any changes to my gallery the url is http://www.lakesparadise.com/wallpapers/index.php here hundreds of people post comments daily and since last few days i am reciving so many spams so i tried it here i am attaching all the files needed to be modified take a look and let me know what is the problem.

             i have added few more words to ban list but it replaced those words with (...) when a comment is posted how can i change it to some smile simbol like :lol: so instead of ban word a smile can be viewed.


waiting for reply.

@ceesjoore: Your server doesn't have one of the functions ( imageftbbox() )required by this mod. You need to ask your webhost for this. That function is generally present if freetype is enabled.

@Hein: Today when i tried to browser your site, it is giving 403 forbidden error. Please ask your webhost to sort this out so that i can look at captcha issue. ( http://fototest.scouting.nl/ is giving 403)

Patience is the keyword here. Do not expect that the people who develop Coppermine are online 24/7 on the look out for any new question. They do not get paid for helping those who need it. Be aware of that fact before you loose patience and start spamming the forum.

Your first question is concerining the implementation of the Captcha mod to your gallery. Enable debugging, it's in the config panel, and also provide a description of any error messages you get etc.. Or if you are in a hurry try one of the other anti-spam methods, use the search of the forum.

Your second question is about the swear list of Coppermine. I suggest you make a new ticket for that question. This is not the correct place to place that question.

Cheers
Hein

@Hein: thanks for taking the time to explain to niks_007 how a support board works. Sadly, this has been done many times before, niks_007 has been told to behave many times. He/she doesn't (as his negative karma record clearly shows).

@niks_007: this is the ultimatively last warning, next step even for the slightest misbehaviour will be a permanent ban.

@Hein: The captcha image is coming fine now. There was a parse error in captcha.php which i rectified (http://fototest.scouting.nl/captcha.php ). Modify the theme file now to apply the mod.

@niks_007: Try removing the below mentioned code from captcha.php file

Code: [Select]
require("include/init.inc.php");

Post by: Hein Traag on October 31, 2006, 10:46:11 am
Thanks Abbas for looking into this. I'll see what needs modifying in the theme.php file for displaying the Captcha image. Again, thanks for your time!

Kind regards,
Hein

Update 11:03
When i visit the captcha.php directly i get a red cross with IE and the line "http://fototest.scouting.nl/captcha.php" with Firefox. Is it a browser setting ?

Do you have any internet security software like Norton internet security
if you have disable it and try again

No i do not have that on my pc as it tends to slow everything down ;)
But if that would be a possible cause then wouldn't that mean all who use such a program have no picture showing up ?

Could help me out with this mod which I installed for a client?

I installed this mod on a client's gallery which is hosted with us and it did not show the visual confirmation box.
So I read the thread here and seen it needed GD Support to run.  I went into the server and recompiled PHP with GD Support. Checked the gallery and the visiual confirmation still does not show and in IE is the old red X broken symbol.
Then I rechecked and the PHP info is now showing the GD Support.

The gallery is at:
http://www.billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/gallery/displayimage.php?album=67&pos=1

As per the install description, I put the captcha.php and fonts folder in the root of the gallery, and then the captcha.class.php in includes folder of the gallery.

I had to mod the themes/eyeball/theme.php to get the code in of course. 

Is there anything I can check?  I do have full administration access to the server which this gallery is hosted on.

Enable display of errors in php - then you will be able to see what the error is at http://www.billyelliotthemusical.me.uk/gallery/captcha.php. You probably missed something when adding GD support like freetype.

hi Hein...
        I have enabled the debugging mode for admin only but i am not getting any error at all and comments can be posted but no visual confirmation is required i have followed all the instructions which are needed to be followed. but if i edit the same comment it shows a text {CONFIRM} in the left side and a cross in the right (No Image) and when you press ok button to edit it it says "Confirmation code didn't matched" but only when we edit the comment else it does not show any thing. in the previous message i have attached all three files needed to be edited so one can get the idea what and where is the problem.

Hi...

It looks like you did not edit the themes/yours/theme.php correctly.

Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: jakejammin on October 31, 2006, 08:03:52 pm
I think there is some confusion in adding this mod for the average user which does not know PHP or how it is coded.

So I'm going to post a clear how to:

I will do this in steps for everyone.

1) Check to make sure your host has GD Support with FreeType Support.  If not then this will not work for you.  You can check this by making a php page with phpinfo(); in it and uploading it to your site. Under gd you will see the above if it is installed on their server.

2) Now upload captcha.php and fonts directory in your coppermine root directory and then upload captcha.class.php in include directory.

3) Open lang/english.php
Find:
Code: [Select]
'non_exist_comment' => 'The selected comment does not exist', //cpg1.4
Just under that add:
Code: [Select]
'captcha_error' => 'The confirmation code didn\'t matched',
Find:
Code: [Select]
'report_comment_title' => 'Report this comment to the administrator', //cpg1.4
Just under that add:
Code: [Select]
'confirm' => 'Confirmation',
Save and close.

4) This is where is gets some what confusing.
We now want to open themes/yourtheme/theme.php (for an example we will do eyeball).

Now we want to also open themes/sample/theme.php

In themes/sample/theme.php Find & Copy:

Code: [Select]
function theme_html_comments($pid)
{
    global $CONFIG, $USER, $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA, $comment_date_fmt, $HTML_SUBST;

    $html = '';

    //report to moderator buttons

        $template = template_eval($template_image_comments, $params);

        $params = array('{MSG_AUTHOR}' => stripslashes($row['msg_author']),

            $user_name_input = '<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="msg_author" value="' . stripslashes(USER_NAME) . '" /></td>';
            template_extract_block($template_add_your_comment, 'user_name_input', $user_name_input);
            $user_name = '';
        } else {
            $user_name = isset($USER['name']) ? '"' . strtr($USER['name'], $HTML_SUBST) . '"' : $lang_display_comments['your_name'] . '" onclick="javascript:this.value=\'\';';
        }

        $params = array('{ADD_YOUR_COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['add_your_comment'],
            // Modified Name and comment field
            '{NAME}' => $lang_display_comments['name'],
            '{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],
            '{PIC_ID}' => $pid,
            '{USER_NAME}' => $user_name,
            '{MAX_COM_LENGTH}' => $CONFIG['max_com_size'],
            '{OK}' => $lang_display_comments['OK'],
            '{SMILIES}' => '',
            '{WIDTH}' => $CONFIG['picture_table_width'],
            );

        if ($CONFIG['enable_smilies']){
                        $params['{SMILIES}'] = generate_smilies();
                } else {
                        template_extract_block($template_add_your_comment, 'smilies');
                }

        $html .= template_eval($template_add_your_comment, $params);
    }

    return $html;
}

Now we want to paste that copy in your theme (again in this case the eyeball theme) just above the PHP close ?>.

Now that is done go back to themes/sample/theme.php then
Find & Copy:

                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td>
                                                        </tr>
                        </table>
                </td>
        </tr>
<!-- BEGIN smilies -->
        <tr>
                <td width="100%" class="tableb_compact">
                        {SMILIES}
                </td>
        </tr>
<!-- END smilies -->
                </table>
        </form>
EOT;

Now we want to paste that copy in your theme (again in this case the eyeball theme) just above the PHP close ?> again.

5) Now we want to search your theme file (again in this caes eyeball) for:
Code: [Select]
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

Just after that add:

Code: [Select]
<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>

Save and close.

6) Open db_input.php
Find:

Code: [Select]
case 'comment':
        if (!(USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS)) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['perm_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

Just after that add:

Code: [Select]
require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, "Confirmation code didn't matched", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

Save and Close.

Thats it..... You're done.....


I hope this helps out some people having problems.  I also hope this is not looked at as a double post to Abbas Ali first post, I just thought it would help some with how to add it to their theme as his post was not clear on that part.


Thanks for the great mod and the time it took!

This looks like a great mod especially as my site was hit for the first time by spammers today. 

I followed the initial instructions and seem to have got most of the way there as I have the confirmation box, but I do not see the image.  I have looked through the previous comments and there is a suggest this maybe because I don't have freetype support; I checked this and it is enabled http://www.darktea.co.uk/phpinfo.php

I have followed the instructions posted by jakejammin as a check and picked up one error (I had duplicated some code so had two confirmation boxes previously), but I guess there is still something which my non php code eyes don't see

Any suggestions you could make would be wonderful and I have enabled the debug info just in case it is helpful.  www.darktea.co.uk

Thank you

I switched to the plugin version and it is working. But when a wrong code is used it goes to a error page (white page with codes...)

We can not see your phpinfo page.  Make sure the GD Support has FreeType Support listed.  I found out today, just because you see GD Support installed does not mean that GD Support has FreeType installed.

Again it must say FreeType Support enabled.  If it does not ask your host provider if they have FreeType Support enabled on their servers.

Hope that helps ;)

@niks_007: Try removing the below mentioned code from captcha.php file

Code: [Select]
require("include/init.inc.php");

@Nishant: Did you do what i said?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: ceesjoore on November 01, 2006, 08:12:59 am
@ceesjoore: Your server doesn't have one of the functions ( imageftbbox() )required by this mod. You need to ask your webhost for this. That function is generally present if freetype is enabled.


Abbas,
My hosting provider told me that they don't have that function, so there is no solution for my problem now.
But thanks for helping.

I think there is some confusion in adding this mod for the average user which does not know PHP or how it is coded.

So I'm going to post a clear how to:

I will do this in steps for everyone.

Post by: mrdummy on November 01, 2006, 07:10:16 pm
It works, but i have edited in themes.inc.php

After reading this topic, i checked sample theme.php version and there is indeed same code.
The problem that i use igames theme. The theme.php has no function and template input code inside.

I must copy both codes from /sample/theme.php.
First part is template part, found at row 813-867.
copy to theme/theme.php, then add the code what is written in the first topic post.
Code: [Select]
<!-- begin captcha mod -->
<tr>
<td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
{CONFIRM}
</td>
<td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
<input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
</td>
</tr>
<!-- end captcha mod -->
behind code
Code: [Select]
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
    <td class="tableb_compact">
     <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
     <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
     <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
    </td>
    </tr>
The <!-- xxx --> are just for marking new mods.

Second part, function part, is found at row 2248-2356. Copy whole part to your theme/theme.php, below the code.
Add after
Code: [Select]
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],the code
Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],
You may place both parts below own theme/theme.php without troubles.

The code for db_input.php is found by row 113: case 'comment':
The code for language file is found:
- by 'non_exist_comment' around row 101 (remove the comma because it's last string in array!)
(there are TWO 'non_exist_comment' codes, at row 90 and 101...... :( Forgot to remove it?)
- by 'report_comment_title' around row 1033 or 1034 after adding code, remove also comma.
You may copy same code in another language files and translate it in your language.

I use Dreamweaver to edit the php files without troubles. Even for Dutch language file.
Alle files are from version 1.4.10, but igames theme is perhaps added.
Actually, if you're good with php, you can also copy code from theme.inc.php because it's same code, but don't copy function_exist part, but only between {} in if function_exists code.

There is more.
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.msg168167#msg168167 has good code to switch captcha off when user is logged in. Thanks.

But the template part is too much long (for just small difference). I have much shorter code for template part:
Code: [Select]
// HTML template for the form to add comments
$template_add_your_comment = <<<EOT

EOT;

$template_add_your_comment .= <<<EOT

<!-- BEGIN smilies -->

                </td>
        </tr>
<!-- END smilies -->
                </table>
        </form>
EOT;

Look at the part
Code: [Select]
if (!USER_ID) {
$template_add_your_comment .= <<<EOT
<!-- begin captcha mod -->
<tr>
<td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2"></td>
  <td class="tableb_compact">

  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>
<!-- end captcha mod -->
EOT;
}
and the trick with .= behind the string $template_add_your_comment does the work. This is much shorter and lesser same code repeats.

Why would you want to do that??? The phpBB forum found out that spam bots can now, not only Register but login and post spam all in one quick swoop..... The spam bots I'm sure can do that to coppermine as well.....
I would assume....

However my site is hosted with hosting-unlimited who are notorious on these boards it seems

You might want to try this plugin http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.0). It's based on this mod and does not involved editing files yourself.

Then do as suggested: if you have issues with the plugin, go to the plugin thread. If you have issues, post on the mod thread (this one). Abbas Ali reminded you not to cross-post... Do as he suggested instead of trying to justify what you did before.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on November 22, 2006, 06:08:03 am
The thing is that though the issue in both (mod and plugin) might be the same but the way to solve it will be different. So stick to one either mod or plugin and then post your issue on respective thread.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Sosha on November 28, 2006, 01:53:01 pm
Well as you know I originally tried this mod and since you actually wrote it I guess if i had to choose which one to use then it would be this one. I only mentioned the fact that i get the same error with both mod and plugin because I thought that might helpyou 'diagnose'

Sorry if i was perceived to be cross-posting I was just trying to help you guys help me.

Anyway any help would be appreciated as my gallery is still getting spammed badly even with akismet and I know captcha would be perfect if only the damn thing worked :)

@Sosha: It seems that you have removed the mod. Re-apply it and then we will debug it and try to solve your issue.

As a starting point just put the captcha.php, captcha.class.php and fonts directory in its place. Do not edit theme file and db_input.php for now. We will first see whether the image is getting created or not. Once the image starts getting created then you can edit theme file.

Post by: plathw on November 30, 2006, 03:07:03 pm
I have added this hack to my gallery, and as has been mentioned earlier, everything works great except the fonts aren't showing up, just the input box and the image with lines.  Here is the site for you to look at:

http://photos.coker.com

I have added everything as I should, the fonts directory is on the server in the root directory right where it needs to be....I'm very confused on what could be happening.  We have a working captcha on http://blog.coker.com that uses a wordpress plugin, so I assume that the server supports everything needed for the hack.

Also note I changed the language file so that incorrectly entering the captcha says "comments are disabled" instead of giving an error saying you incorrectly entered the confirmation.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Title: Configuring Captcha for the Fruity theme
Post by: SiamJai on December 03, 2006, 01:55:56 pm
Captcha works like a charm; success at first try - thank you so much for sharing this great mod, Abbas Ali! Spammers now have one less place to infest. :)

I guess the trickiest part of the configuration is to make changes in the theme.php file, since its settings vary from theme to theme. We at the Thaiwonders team (http://www.thaiwonders.com/art/gallery/index.php) use Fruity, and we would like to make the Captcha-config process easier for fellow Fruity-users.  GauGau has posted half of the code already in response to a specific question, but I think it will be useful to see the entire process as a whole.

Please note: this method was tested and found to work with the Fruity theme. It may or may not work with other themes. 

The following two sections of themes/sample/theme.php need to be copied to themes/fruity/theme.php

Code: [Select]
// Displays comments for a specific picture
function theme_html_comments($pid)
{
    global $CONFIG, $USER, $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA, $comment_date_fmt, $HTML_SUBST;
    global $template_image_comments, $template_add_your_comment, $lang_display_comments;

    $html = '';

    //report to moderator buttons
    if (!(($CONFIG['report_post']==1) && (USER_CAN_SEND_ECARDS))) {
        template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'report_comment_button');
    }

    if (!$CONFIG['enable_smilies']) {
        $tmpl_comment_edit_box = template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'edit_box_no_smilies', '{EDIT}');
        template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'edit_box_smilies');
        template_extract_block($template_add_your_comment, 'input_box_smilies');
    } else {
        $tmpl_comment_edit_box = template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'edit_box_smilies', '{EDIT}');
        template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'edit_box_no_smilies');
        template_extract_block($template_add_your_comment, 'input_box_no_smilies');
    }

    $tmpl_comments_buttons = template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'buttons', '{BUTTONS}');
    $tmpl_comments_ipinfo = template_extract_block($template_image_comments, 'ipinfo', '{IPINFO}');

    if ($CONFIG['comments_sort_descending'] == 1) {
        $comment_sort_order = 'DESC';
    } else {
        $comment_sort_order = 'ASC';
    }
    $result = cpg_db_query("SELECT msg_id, msg_author, msg_body, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(msg_date) AS msg_date, author_id, author_md5_id, msg_raw_ip, msg_hdr_ip, pid FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_COMMENTS']} WHERE pid='$pid' ORDER BY msg_id $comment_sort_order");

NOTES:
Add these sections before the last ?> in the php file - and don't forget to modify your new themes/fruity/theme.php as described in the first post.

There might be other ways, or less info to copy, but this is a tried-and-true method for the Fruity theme. I hope this will make it a bit easier for fellow Fruity users, and takes care of a few config questions in advance. ;)

Thanks again,

Installed the mod - simple enough.  But neither the text box nor captcha shows to unregistered visitors.  It must be being blocked by another mod or my own coding.  Can you point me towards where to look to get this mod working?

thanks,

PS I did have to set up the last mod with a body onload tweak because my gallery couldn't pick up the mod as-is.

Hi,

i'm having a problem installing this.
i have followed all steps, only this one gives me problems:

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add

Code:
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

just after

Code:
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],

Add

Code:
<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>

just after

Code:
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />

Except, the confirmation shows up, but even if I don't type in the code,
it adds the comment, whether I am logged in or out..
Its like its not reading it :S

Hello,

I'm using the latest 1.4.10 version, and i'm having trouble finding the lines of codes that you say that I have to edit on the theme.php file. I'm talking about your instructions that say...

Add

Code:
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

just after

Code:
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],


I can't find that anyware on the theme.php file. Any help would be gladly apreciated.

Thanks!

@etnies: The captcha image is coming fine. The only place which might not be properly edited is db_input.php (which checks the input code against the image code). Attach your db_input.php file with next post.

You had edited the file in the wrong place. I corrected it and the modified file is attached. Replace your exisisting db_input.php with this one and lets see whether it works or not.

I replaced my dp_input.php with the one you gave me.
It didn't cause any errors until I tried to submit the comment, then it gave me this error:

Hi

Just an advice: Use the "plugin manager" to install it. Then it works fine  :D

I had a lot of trouble getting it right. I think it's the theme-modification which is hard to get right.

It's sad that we have to implement such plugins to get rid of spam - but on the other hand it's great, that people like Abbas Ali provide us with the tool to fight it. Thanks  ;D

Have a nice weekend

The captcha plugin and the captcha mod are two different things. Please keep comments on the plugin version to the thread that discusses the plugin.

Help new the bug is not present letters in a picture
A "bug" is something that is wrong with the mod code. Yours may be an implementation error as well. You appear to require to be logged in before being able to post comments. Subsequently, you should post a non-admin test user account.

There is certainly something wrong with them. The acidic.ttf from your site is different to the acidic.ttf from the package. Make sure you are uploading them in binary mode, try a different FTP client.

Could you some info please ?

Okay - I've worked through the 1st 6 pages of this thread and still can't solve my problem.
I've followed all the steps Abbas Ali and GauGau told us to do to install captcha.
Now I can see the Captcha when going to enter the comment, but even if you leave the Captcha word blank or enter it incorrectly Coppermine still add the comment.
This morning I had to clean out about 20 SPAM entries again.
I can attach or email anyone that want to see my theme.php and other relevant files to ensure it's correct. I have currently disabled comments on my gallery.
Any help please guys. Thanks Pieter

I am using version 1.4.8

My gallery is located here: http://largedogbreedz.com/gallery/

Did you make the change in db_input.php

If you had made the change in db_input.php then make sure that it was done at right place.

I really thought I made the appropriate change within the db_input.php file, but evidentally not.

I made the change and everything works now. Thank you for both your help!

Hi Abbas

Firstly the mod works perfectly well I have had it running for a number of months now

the only issue I am having is that sometimes the letters overlap each other is there any way to prevent this?

Not sure but you can do some trial and error method.

Open captcha.php in editor and find this code

Code: [Select]
// create new image
$oPhpCaptcha = new PhpCaptcha($aFonts, 150, 30, 5, 20, false);

The four parameters in above code which can be useful in your case are...

150 - This is the width of captcha image
30 - Height of captcha image
5 - Number of characters to show in image
20 - Number of lines to show on image (these are the background lines which makes the captcha image difficult to read)

You can try either changing the width to a higher value or decreasing the number of characters to show. Do some tests and see which values fits the best to your need.

http://photographie.awcreation.com/plugins/captcha/captcha.php gives 'internal server error'. You'd need to ask your host why that is.

Thanks a lot!!!!, where can I find this module?

Recently i saw a lot of comment spamming on my personal gallery by bots. I thought why not implement the captcha for adding comments. I know that i can disallow Anonymous user to post comments to stop spamming but many of us don't want to do that since there are always genuine anonymous users who want to post comments.

Thanks to Edward Eliot for PhpCaptcha class which is used by this mod.

What will this mod do?
  • Will show an image with some text while adding comment
  • User will be required to enter the text exactly as shown in image in the text box provided
  • If the text entered by user doesn't matches with text shown on image then comment won't be added

The mod

Files modified
  • db_input.php
  • themes/yourtheme/theme.php
  • lang/english.php

New Files
  • captcha.php
  • include/captcha.class.php
  • fonts

First extract the attached zip file and place captcha.php and fonts directory in your coppermine root directory. Place captcha.class.php in include directory.

Then edit lang/english.php

Add
Code: [Select]
'captcha_error' => 'The confirmation code didn\'t matched',

just after
Code: [Select]
'non_exist_comment' => 'The selected comment does not exist', //cpg1.4

Add
Code: [Select]
'confirm' => 'Confirmation',

just after
Code: [Select]
'report_comment_title' => 'Report this comment to the administrator', //cpg1.4

##############

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

just after
Code: [Select]
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],

Add
Code: [Select]
<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>

just after
Code: [Select]
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

##################

Edit db_input.php

Add

Code: [Select]
        require("include/captcha.class.php");
        if (!PhpCaptcha::Validate($_POST['confirmCode'])) {
          cpg_die(ERROR, "Confirmation code didn't matched", __FILE__, __LINE__);
        }

just after

Code: [Select]
    case 'comment':
        if (!(USER_CAN_POST_COMMENTS)) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['perm_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);


That's it. Hope this helps some of you out there....


Abbas

P.S: I don't know whether this can be done using a plugin or not. If someone can come out with a plugin then it will be better.

@skidpics and all who have issue applying this mod:

why don't you use the corresponding plugin instead? It's easier to implement for newbies.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

GUYS BE SURE YOU READ THE INTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

like this one..

First extract the attached zip file and place captcha.php and fonts directory in your coppermine root directory. Place captcha.class.php in include directory.

thank you Abbas for this great Capatcha!!!

I have been searching the Internet long time to find similar solution. I am going to try it right now and will give you my feedback soon....

well done!
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

I have tried the module and it worked perfectly!   

However, when I tried it with the arabic.php language, the JPEG photo creation for the code failed.

I have made many analysis and found that the problem happenned because my arabic.php file is saved in UTF-8 charachter set. I can not conver the character set to other formats because every thing in my website is designed to work that way.


to solve hte problem, I checked the code of captcha.php and commented the initialize code as below:

Code: [Select]

define("IN_COPPERMINE", true);
// require("include/init.inc.php");
require("include/captcha.class.php");



After this change, captch worked great with arabic.php although it is saved in UTF-8.


My question is:  is it really required to have teh above include file "require("include/init.inc.php");"  ?

By the way:

Visitors will not see the attachement unless they register to the forum. I think you need to put a note about this.

No, init.inc.php is not required for capthca.php The mod will work absolutely fine without that line.

Visitors will not see the attachement unless they register to the forum. I think you need to put a note about this.

This is the default behavior of SMF forum (the forum software which we use), and it is good in a way.

Thank you sooooo much Abbas for your feedback. Now, I feel more confident about the solution.

First: Thanks for the nice mod.

But I have a problem: I can't see a Captcha Box with the numbers and letters. There is a field to type them in, but no field where they should be displayed (in Firefox) and with the IE I see this ugly red cross for a not existing picture. What have I done wrong?

There is something at the start of the image that is causing it to be corrupt. It looks like a few blank lines followed by ?>. Double check your modifications.

It is a problem with the theme.php on your server. The code you have posted here is fine.

Ok, a very stupid fault. After correcting the theme.php as you said (deleting empty lines) I've uploaded it into the wrong folder. Now everything works fine, thanks.

Thanks! Fab. mod. Was going crazy with the spams on my galleries, so I've installed the mod. files today. Thusfar, no new spams!

Sorry, but I'm new at this and don't know PHP. I've managed to make the changes in the appropriate files, discovered that Freetype was required and got that installed and the confirmation code now appears; however, I always receive a "Confirmation code didn't match" message. I turned on Debug for Admin and I got the following notice but, since I don't know PHP, I don't know if it's important:

/include/captcha.class.php
    * Warning line 12: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/tmp/sess_9478a4986b54d68858115a0c51153339, O_RDWR) failed: Permission denied (13)
    * Notice line 195: Undefined index: php_captcha

Now I'm not sure how to proceed. Any help would be appreciated.

The URL of my gallery is: http://www.optimists-alumni.org/photos and "test3" is the theme I'm trying to get running.

You don't have permission to write to the directory used to store sessions. Contact your host for support.

The support folks at the hosting company wanted detailed information so that they could debug the code. I emailed them the information but they didn't follow all of the instructions. They changed to my test theme, saw that it changed and, instead of following the rest of the instructions and entering a comment, they stopped (if the theme worked, everything must work)! I'm frustrated. Is this change something I can do?

PHPINFO() displays "Session Support: enabled" and "session.save_path: /tmp". When I use FTP to look at my site, there is a "tmp" directory in the root, at the same level as "public_html", which actually contains the website. Coppermine exists in "photos", a folder within "public_html". Properties for "tmp" are 0700.

I'm the only volunteer in our organization who even knows a bit of HTML. I took over our organization's website when the old person left but, at this point, I'm way beyond my depth. If you can offer the specifics of what they need to do, I can pass that to them.

What I said above should be enough. If they won't help you then you can specify your tmp as the session.save_path if you are allowed a custom php.ini or can use ini_set().

They changed to my test theme, saw that it changed and, instead of following the rest of the instructions and entering a comment, they stopped (if the theme worked, everything must work)!

Theme has nothing to do with sessions.

This mod uses session to store information. Whenever sessions are used the data is stored in a temporary directory defined by session.save_path in php.ini In your case the directory is /tmp. Note that  /tmp is different from the tmp directory parallel to your public_html. On a shared webhosting you cannot change the permission of /tmp directory.

Since your webhost is not understanding the situation, show them a test file which demonstrates the real problem.

Create a filed named session.php and place it in your photos folder.

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start
();
$_SESSION['test'] = 'This is a test';

print 
$_SESSION['test'];
?>


Give the url of this file to your webhost i.e. http://www.optimists-alumni.org/photos/session.php

If sessions work on your server then above code should output 'This is a test' in the browser. Else notices/warnings will be given.

You haven't modified theme.php properly. The code has been misplaced around line 325.

Something strange on your server. The image headers are not getting outputted properly. Will need to debug.

I put in the code exactly, and people can still add comments even if they don't enter a confirmation code. I have freetype, can't figure out the problem.

Hi.
It seems to work great, but is it only registered users who can post comments? If I go into user mode I'm only able to see the comments already posted but not to post any myself.

Is this correct or can I enable something so that Guests are welcome to make comments as well?

Hello to everybody!

I'm new here too  :P...

I'm very pleased to have found a forum like that, it's really wonderfull!

Ouch, I forget to introduce me, sorry  :o
My name is Daniel, and i'm from Catalonia (Spain). I have a Coppermine Gallery hosted in www.enfoca2.com a spanish photographic forum. My gallery address is danielarenas.enofca2.com


I was very worried about spam and anoying bots, but you give me the solution...CAPTCHA (many thanks specially to Abbas Ali for this helpfull post and share his knowledge)

Ok, let's see...

I've done all Abbas Ali told about Captcha i've put the archives and folders, and modified english.php, theme.php and db_input.php.

When i tried to visit my gallery an unexpected error was found.

Code: [Select]
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW in /var/www/vhosts/danielarenas.enfoca2.com/httpdocs/themes/hardwired/theme.php on line 222
... Yes is an error in the theme.php language on line 222, like olti user's error. I know it means that there's a problem with a instruction on line 222, but... żwhat's an unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW error?

The only thing i've modified in the theme.php are the lines added. And i've added the lines at the bottom of the page, like that (i only put a very small piece of the theme.php modified, only where i've put the new lines). Notice that lines added are wrote in black in this post.

Is there a solution for, if this is the reason? Couse the captcha really works out good for the spam, and i wanna keep using it if it possible.

Thx for ur fast response nibbler!

I tryed the change like you said, but didnt work out.
Only gave me a session checkout error with logging-out. offcourse i could live with that if it fixed the captcha:)

Is there more i can try?

I followed all the steps described but I have a problem. The Captcha image is not displayed. The background randomly-placed lines are shown but not the actual alphabets on it. My server supports GD 2 and I'm using image generation on other parts of the site.

Please see what I am getting:

http://www.indo-pak.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=2&pos=-93

The following link will show that GD 2 is installed & is working because here I can see the image:

http://www.indo-pak.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=40

Please tell me what might be the problem

@dage: Attach your theme.php here

@arsalanj: Make sure you have uploaded fonts folder properly. The fonts file in it should be uploaded in a binary mode.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: arsalanj on March 15, 2007, 09:30:17 pm
Thanks Abbas for your kind time. I have re-checked that the fonts folder has been uploaded successfully. The folder contains two fonts. You can verify them:

http://www.indo-pak.org/gallery/fonts/acidic.ttf
http://www.indo-pak.org/gallery/fonts/hurryup.ttf

(gallery folder is the folder where Coppermine gallery is installed).

Still, it is giving that problem  >:(

I hope that u have another clue about this problem.

Thanks

Try uploading the fonts using a different ftp client. Not sure if that will solve the problem but you can try.

Make sure you did this...

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],

just after
Code: [Select]
'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],

I followed all the steps described but I have a problem. The Captcha image is not displayed. The background randomly-placed lines are shown but not the actual alphabets on it. My server supports GD 2 and I'm using image generation on other parts of the site.

Please see what I am getting:

http://www.indo-pak.org/gallery/displayimage.php?album=random&cat=2&pos=-93

The following link will show that GD 2 is installed & is working because here I can see the image:

http://www.indo-pak.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=33&Itemid=40

Please tell me what might be the problem

Thanks

Not sure if it makes  a difference, but upon checking the link of your 'confirmation image', it shows http://www.indo-pak.org/gallery/captcha.php, but mine on my site shows http://skidpics.com/plugins/captcha/captcha.php, directly coming from the plugins folder.. not the 'gallery' folder..  The plugins folder is the default install folder for plugins..

I;ve read all these posts and still have the known problem with red cross. First I thought it was the problem with the freefonts wich was not installed on my server, becaouse of the error line shown in direct link. So my ISP installed that module and so there's no text about the error, but the cross is still there, and direct link shows the empty blank page:

http://www.zgorzelec.info/foto/captcha.php

Can you help me please ?

EDIT: I've checked at php.net function imagefttext — Write text to the image using fonts using FreeType 2, so Freetype 2 is needed, but it seems to run only on PHP 5,

I have PHP 4 installed on my server and can't uprgade because of bigger system installed on it.

Is there any solution on this ?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on March 23, 2007, 07:18:10 am
Freetype can be installed on php4 too. Without freetype this mod won't work.

@skidpics: Are you using plugin or mod? It seems that you are using captcha plugin. If so then this is wrong thread. Ask your question on http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.0

Hi, I have just installed the mod, and something is wrong as I cannot enter my site (http://lorelei.dwaalgasten.nl/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0 (http://lorelei.dwaalgasten.nl/thumbnails.php?album=lastup&cat=0)) anymore, as I get the message: Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /www/htdocs/dwaalgas/frummel/themes/classic/theme.php on line 1185. I think I have taken all the steps you indicated. My theme.php file is attached. Could you tell me what I did wrong? Thanks!
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: michiel on April 01, 2007, 03:58:20 pm
Update: I found a mistake in my theme file, so the "parse"  problem is solved. However, Captcha still does not function properly. If you add a comment, there is a box "confirmation"  added. However, the captcha image is not shown, so you don't know which confirmation code to enter. Logically, if you enter "OK", the error "Confirmation code didn't matched" is reporterd. I would certainly welcome your suggestions, as I get mad of the spam.... Thanks.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: michiel on April 01, 2007, 08:45:28 pm
Well, a thorough reading of this whole Captcha thread finally led to the conclusion that Captcha will not run on my site because my hosting company does not support imageftbbox. That's a pity, as Captcha seems a real good solution to spam.....

Go through W3C validation output, fix the stuff it complains about in the source code of the captcha mod. For the benefit of others, you might post your improvements when done.

Some of the mod html caused html validation to fail.

I changed:
Code: [Select]
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
to:
Code: [Select]
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput" /> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle" alt="captcha image" />

I have another problem.

"Please, validate your XML document first!

Line 72

Column 71

The reference to entity "PHPSESSID" must end with the ';' delimiter."

and in code:

"Failed validation, 34 errors"

the problem is in "general entity "PHPSESSID" not defined and no default entity."

This modification is work with Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.3.5?
Or only for 1.4.x?

I have used mod in CPG 1.3.2. But code:
Code: [Select]
'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],
... Is in the file displayimage.php, not theme.php. The only diference.

Works great!  ;)

Don't ask for other versions (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=24540.0)

cpg1.3.x is outdated, goes completely unsupported and contains known bugs. Updating is mandatory (mustn't be discussed on this thread though). As suggested above: don't post cpg1.3.x-related stuff on a board/thread that is dedicated to cpg1.4.x.

You have whitespace after the closing php tag in the theme.php. Remove it.

Is it possible to have the captcha confimation only for unregistered users only?
for example allow registered users to post a comment freely, but unregistered users have to fill in the visual confirmation.

hi abbas

i tried using this as a plugin, but got 'confirmation didn't match' errors constantly.

i want to try the mod, but i'm using ipodlounge theme and i can't figure out how to make the changes to the theme.php.

you said do this:

Code: [Select]
##############

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code:

'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],


just after
Code:

'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],


Add
Code:

<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>


just after
Code:

<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>


##################

but there's nowhere to add the code. you said 'just after' the code, but the code's not there.

how can i add this code to my theme.php for ipodlounge?

Zip your theme.php and attach it to a post. We can then take a look at your file and see what's wrong.

Hello!

I have the same problem with captcha - there is no confirmation code image on the page, though there should be. It worked about 3 weeks ago, but there was a server error and after that I have had problems with it. The address of my page is http://xeox.pri.ee/ and captcha.php is in http://xeox.pri.ee/plugins/captcha/captcha.php, but it's empty. What is the problem?

I'd apprichiate if you could help. If there is anything else you need, just ask.

Best wishes,
M

Its in the changes you made in theme file

<input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">

Change the size attribute to whatever you like.

If you open http://www.klaudette.com/galeria/captcha.php, you will see the errors. Apparently there was a bug (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=26309) in PHP documentation.

To remove those warnings -
Edit captcha.class.php and replace

Code: [Select]
$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);

with

Code: [Select]
$aCharDetails = imageftbbox($iFontSize, $iAngle, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i], array());

and replace

Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i]);

with

Code: [Select]
imagefttext($this->oImage, $iFontSize, $iAngle, $iX, $iY, $iTextColour, $sCurrentFont, $this->sCode[$i], array());

That should do the trick.

I've been struggling with adding this MOD for a while now, since being told I can't use the plug-in version as my install is bridged with SMF.

The instructions at the head of this thread for installing this MOD seem incomplete. For example, the earliest instructions state:
Quote
Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code:

'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],


just after
Code:

'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],


Add
Code:

<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>


just after
Code:

<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

Yet, when I look at my themes/yourtheme/theme.php file (based on the Classic theme), I see only this:

Code: [Select]

No

Code: [Select]
<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">

                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

There also appears to be a LOT of changes to the original instructions provided in this thread, yet the instructions at the head of the thread have not been updated to reflect those changes. In short, I don't see how to modify my install to use this MOD at this time. Thanks for your time...

@ComputerLady
If you can't find codes on your theme.php then you should copy them from themes/sample/theme.php
In your situation you should
- Copy & Paste $template_add_your_comment variable (starting by $template_add_your_comment = <<<EOT and ending by EOT;)
- Copy & paste theme_html_comments($pid) function

Hi,

I had earlier used Abbas' captcha codes to install this feature.
It worked very well.  Thank you guys !

I recently installed the Tagblitz plug-in.
I got an error - a box with a red cross in the place where the captcha code should appear.
See:  http://www.photograffs.com/displayimage.php?pos=-1509

can anybody help resolve this problem.
(I had earlier posted this problem under tagblitz topic.
I'm not trying to cross-post.  But I guess it is more appropriate under this topic).

I'm no good in php.
Anybody can help?

Thanks.

The problem is Tagblitz plug-in , it's injecting javascript to Captcha image and break it

Hi I tried to install this mod because even with a code users had to type (taken from a static image) I was still getting spam. Theres so much code to add in alot of files for this mod its difficult for someone without alot of php knowledge, and in some files where it says 'Add........ After........' Somethimes the code doesnt exist.
I then downloaded the 'plugin' by Sami and it said about using plugin manager to install it. Where do I find this or is it something I have to install to my gallery?

Post by: eka on September 05, 2007, 07:49:29 am
Hi,

I used Abbas Captcha for my site by amending the codes (before the plugin version came out).
I then upgraded my cpg to 1.4.12.
The captcha feature disappeared but the comment box was left intact.

Would it cause any problem now if I load the captcha plugin now?
Do I need to delete some lines in the code... before uploading the plug? and if so what lines....

Pse advice.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on September 05, 2007, 08:58:29 am
After upgrade did you preserved db_input.php and theme files from your previous version? I mean while upgrading did you overwrote all previously modified files? If yes then you can apply the plugin straightaway. But if you had preserved the old modified files then the captcha mod code should be removed from them before installing the plugin.

Is it possible to use Captcha for the reporting of pictures to the admin? Because I receive several SPAM mails a day.

I tried captcha and it works perfect in combination with my comments, but not for my reports ...

Yes it is possible to use captcha anywhere we are getting the user input. Please start a separate thread for this though as this thread deals with captcha for comments only.

Post by: Joachim Müller on November 06, 2007, 02:47:15 pm
@ Master of Orion: stop cluttering this board by requesting "the most recent version" of mods. The most recent versions already exist in the mod threads. Don't be lazy, read the threads and you should be good. Mods don't need to get adapted to minor version updates (e.g. from cpg1.4.13 to cpg1.4.14), you just have to re-apply the mod after updating, that's all.
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: chillivanilla on November 15, 2007, 02:07:58 pm
I've searched through the boards but can't find a definitive answer as to the whether Captcha code can be used when the SMF bridge is in place. I appreciate that the Captcha plugin can't be used but can the Capcha functionality be used when the mod is coded manually in this situation?

 
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Joachim Müller on November 15, 2007, 07:14:05 pm
The captcha mod (the thread you've posted in) can not cope with bridging to SMF enabled because SMF's session will break the captcha session. The most recent version of the captcha plugin should be capable for use with SMF bridging.

Hi Abbas.

Thanks for the plugin. Using the theme.php you provided, and the the changes to the other files --the captcha  worked for the registration and login.  This is what I need most.

However, I am having problems with it in terms of its use in comments.  I tried it so many times and I get this error:


Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class phpcaptcha in /home/totinet/public_html/phi/gphi000/include/captcha.class.php on line 13

Here is a Demo page (http://likas-philippines.com/gphi000/index.php) using a fresh install of the version 1.4.16 -- also with its own problem. 

If possible, is there something that could be done so I do not have to use it for comments?  Only those who are logged in (thus also registered may comment.

Thanks.

Cornelio

P.S.
It seems to have compatibility issues also with other scripts, but I will place this as a separate respnse later.

@cgc020: There is a setting on admin groups manager page to turn comments off for guests. Perhaps you are looking for that. Also you said that you tried this plugin - This is not a plugin but a mod. There is a separate captcha plugin. Are you using that? Perhaps you should use that plugin as it does not requires and code changes.

It's been a hard time, but finally I've managed to get this mod working   8)

Just a suggestion: for the validation to work properly I had to move the line
Code: [Select]
require("include/captcha.class.php");at the beginning of db_input.php (just before the other requires): before, the confirmation code appeared but guests could post comments even without entering nothing (or a wrong code). I guess the session couldn't start, because of some PHP code already executed by the file.
As I noticed that other posters had to face this bug, maybe it can be useful to edit the installation instructions accordingly...

 ??? Using Captcha plugin locks me out of login to admin. can't see the captcha to login. using eyeball theme, black. and gallery is offline. don't know why it requires it for adminsitration.

What do I do? Delete Captcha files through my file manager/cPanel? Or just rename the folder and deal with it when I get in?

Have an issue with plugin ? can't login to disable it ?
Manually disable captcha plugin:
=======================
- Use a mysql tool (e.g. phpmyadmin)
- Drop xxx_plugin_captcha table
- Open xxx_plugins table of gallery DB (xxx_ is your table prefix)
- Delete CAPTCHA row

So I tried that first. Figured out how to 'drop the xxx-plugin-captcha table', opened the xxx-plugins table, but there was no CAPTCHA row to delete. and that didn't solve the problem.

so went to my file manager/cPanel, and renamed the captcha folder. that worked! got into the admin backend. and deleted the captcha plugin. Now have two problems left.
Do I delete the Receive folder? was it created by the captcha plugin? and how do I restore the browse button? Should I run the update.php to get restored?

This topic is about Captcha mod, not plugin...  ::)

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.

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?

Is there a updated version of this Captcha? Is it only for comments? Or can it be used for registering?
Title: Re: Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments
Post by: Abbas Ali on August 14, 2008, 07:13:39 am
No updated version for this mod. Use Captcha plugin (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=36319.0) instead.

For registration page there is my "extension" (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,53883.0.html) 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 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,55415.msg270632.html#msg270632)):

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?

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.

Use the plugin (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.0.html) 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.

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

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?

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.
