CAPTCHA

Hi

Drupal version: 5.3
Captcha module version: 5.x-3.1

The current version of Captcha doesnot work with Page cache enabled. This could be a big disadvantage in a large site with many pages. To resolve the same and cache the page content we could apply the below patch.

Refer patch at http://drupal.org/node/602226.

We could furthur enhance and work towards removing session for anonymous user entirely and cache the captcha along with the page cache, refersh it only when used. Any suggestions.

Thanks

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me? I've just installed CAPTCHA (6.x-1.0-rc2) as one of my sites was being bombarded with new user registrations. I selected the image option, installed a font, and could see the example image in the admin panel. However, when I attempt to register as an anonymous user I can't see the image. Have a look http://www.capiro.co.uk/node/112

The image path is http://www.capiro.co.uk/image_captcha/1077246294 which I don't understand 'cos the directory doesn't exist! However, that is the same path as used in the admin pages where it works?

Hello,

I use Drupal 6.10 and Xampp on windows sp3 for local testing purposes. Started with Drupal a few months ago.
I have seen Rob's video tutorial (btw. it is great) and did so in order to protect my custom html/php mailing form but it does not work. Drupal comment form and others work fine, no matter whether I put image, math or text. Only when I want to use it on my form: nothing happens.

I googled a lot without success, to find some code example because I'm not sure if drupal captcha is supposed to work on custom forms at all?

Hi!

I am using CAPTCHA in my drupal site for shoutbox. It is a nice thing to shield shoutbox from spams attack. In my case the shoutbox is appearing in the block. There is strange behavior of CAPTCHA upon submitting wrong code that the whole site (targeted page with error message) opens recursively with in that block above the CAPTCHA enabled form. How can I deal with this issue.

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 have recently had to modify the send.module (tell a friend function) to do a form submit through AJAX. It was not an easy task but was somewhat helped along with the use of the ajaxform submit module.

Hello all,

Yesterday I added a new CAPTCHA type to CAPTCHA Pack: ASCII art CAPTCHA. In this CAPTCHA the user is challenged with something like this:

  888888ba              88888888b   888888ba    88888888b           
  88    `8b             88          88    `8b   88                  
 a88aaaa8P'  .d8888b.  a88aaaa     a88aaaa8P'  a88aaaa     dP    dP 
  88   `8b.  88ooood8   88          88          88         88    88 
  88     88  88.  ...   88          88          88         88.  .88 
  dP     dP  `88888P'   88888888P   dP          88888888P  `88888P' 

or this:

             __        __  ____   __  __  _____    ___  
  _ __ ___   \ \      / / |  _ \  \ \/ / |_   _|  / _ \ 
 | '_ ` _ \   \ \ /\ / /  | |_) |  \  /    | |   | (_) |
 | | | | | |   \ V  V /   |  _ <   /  \    | |    \__, |
 |_| |_| |_|    \_/\_/    |_| \_\ /_/\_\   |_|      /_/ 

More than 20 fonts are included (based on the font definitions from http://www.figlet.org/).
I expect this to be a hard one for the spam bots to solve.
Tell me what you think.

PS. It's currently only available in the development snapshot, not yet in the official release.
PS2. the CAPTCHA for submitting this story sucks, especially because I previewed it several times.

To go along with the release of Captcha 3.0 final, I put together a small video tutorial on Captcha, Image Captcha and reCAPTCHA.
