Re-Captcha

How do i integrate re-captcha into my site ? I am having terrible issues with spam bots registering on my site.

I would personally avoide re-captcha for a little while as the next phpBB version has that on.

This is a good topic to look at http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopi ... &t=1437125

I need to go over and see whats new in the upcoming release. It is still hard to believe that phpbb has come this far and remains free. Unlike IPB and VB. I am very happily surprised.

How do i integrate re-captcha into my site ? I am having terrible issues with spam bots registering on my site.

Even though reCAPTCHA is going to be included in phpBB3.0.6, there is a modification at http://startrekguide.com/community/view ... 127&t=9549 called phpBB3 reCAPTCHA.

Remember to register on recaptcha.com for the public and private API keys.

I've tried this mod myself and installed successfully it on a couple of forums (using subsilver2 based styles).

Read this post http://startrekguide.com/community/view ... 60#p103113 and the one below it for subsilver2 instructions.

To place the recaptcha.html file, find (in ucp_register.html): * Remember to include the modified recaptcha.html in your styles' template directory at http://startrekguide.com/community/view ... 60#p103113 * (subsilver2 only)

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_COPPA -->
	<tr>
		<th colspan="2" valign="middle">{L_COPPA_COMPLIANCE}</th>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="row3" colspan="2"><span class="gensmall">{L_COPPA_EXPLAIN}</span></td>
	</tr>
<!-- ENDIF -->

And place this below it:

Code: Select all

<!-- INCLUDE recaptcha.html -->

I've played around with this modification and I found out that you can change or customize reCAPTCHA colors.

Including the following script (find <!-- IF S_RECAPTCHA_CODE --> in recaptcha.html in your subsilver2/templates directory and paste this):

Code: Select all

<script>
var RecaptchaOptions = {
   theme : 'clean'
};
</script>

Replace 'clean' with the following available colors: http://wiki.recaptcha.net/index.php/Theme

Example:

Code: Select all

<script>
var RecaptchaOptions = {
   theme : 'blackglass'
};
</script>

See http://wiki.recaptcha.net/index.php/How ... CHA_colors for more information.

Reminders:

* Place the recaptcha.html file in your styles' template directory
* Create the template file with the instructions at: http://startrekguide.com/community/view ... 60#p103113
* Make file edits at ucp_register.html (prosilver & subsilver2)

Nice guide there my friend.

Re-captcha is breakable. I would go as far as to to say it is now as breakable as captcha.

Set up some custom fields of some really hard questions
