Hi.
Does anyone has a working version of image captcha for drupal 4.7.x? It shouldn't be that hard to backport 5.x but if someone already did this...
I'm using drupallite ([1], [2]) for a small site and added captcha to the contact form. No I wanted to add image captcha but drupallite is based of drupal 4.7.
thanks,
Stefan
I wouldn't hold my breath
Drupal 4.7 is not supported anymore and it is very unlikely that the Drupal 5 version of CAPTCHA would be backported to Drupal 4.7. None of the CAPTCHA maintainers (including me) have the time nor interest to do this anyway.
Moreover, I don't think it is "not that hard" to backport the module.
Also, it seems from what I understood of Drupal Lite, that it does not use a database,
the CAPTCHA module needs sessions to work, which are stored in the database (in normal Drupal),
I don't know how this can be solved in Drupal Lite.
In short: I think your chances are extremely low to get a working image CAPTCHA on Drupal lite.
sorry
done :-)
It was just a question if someone already did this. Not to make you to do the backport.
DrupalLite uses php standard sessions (no db) so its no problem.
Hey, I finally did it :-) It wasn't that hard (just a few modifications, e.g. adding "_captchavalidate", renaming "_captcha" to "_captchachallange" and modifying some lines.
If someone needs this I could upload it (or provide a small demo site).
greetings,
Stefan
I need it!!
Hey Stefan,
