Hi

Bots are really causing a problem through registering via the create an account button I can’t upload the image as the attach file on this won’t allow it from my computer only a website.

If an individual goes through the login button to create an account it takes them to com_user&view=register which is fine because I have a captcha plugin to take care of that but if they use the create an account button it goes to com_user&task=register and I can’t get captcha to show on this form – can anyone tell what code I need to add/change and where?

Version 1.5

Thanks

It depends on what captcha system you are using. Some plugins will allow a simple code addition in the form code but others require a lot more work.

As an example, I use osol captcha on one of my sites as you can see here – http://www.windsurf.me.uk

This plugin is available from the JED – http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-security/captcha/11521

I then opened template>ja_community_plus>html>mod_jalogin>default.php and around line 140 found the code


<?php echo "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required."; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="button-round"><span><button class="button validate" type="submit"><?php echo JText::_('Register'); ?></button></span></div>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="register_save" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="gid" value="0" />
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'form.token' ); ?>


Above it I added the following code


<?php
global $mainframe;
//set the argument below to true if you need to show vertically( 3 cells one below the other)
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onShowOSOLCaptcha', array(true));
?>


so it looks like this.


<td>
<input class="inputbox required validate-passverify" type="password" id="password2" name="password2" size="40" value="" /> *
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<?php
global $mainframe;
//set the argument below to true if you need to show vertically( 3 cells one below the other)
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onShowOSOLCaptcha', array(true));
?>
<?php echo "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required."; ?>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<div class="button-round"><span><button class="button validate" type="submit"><?php echo JText::_('Register'); ?></button></span></div>
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="register_save" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="gid" value="0" />
<?php echo JHTML::_( 'form.token' ); ?>
</form>


Simple as that really. You can add the bit of code to most login forms to add the captcha to them too. Out of the box the plugin will add captcha to all the default Joomla forms you select in the plugins parameters but forms such as Ja_Login are overrides so need the code added. I choose not to include the captcha on the login form, just on registration and contact pages. I also have added it to a custom form I have made with anonther third party component, chronoforms.

Not solved yet!

I haven’t managed to do this yet even with OSOLCaptcha and using your instructions :(( (I also tried with Joo Recaptcha and Captcha – I’ve disabled all login modules until I have more time.

Please PM me an admin logon and ftp details (ftp account, username and password) and I’ll do it for you. Please include a link to this thread in your PM.

Which forms do you want it on? Login and Create and Account?

Quick update – even using the captcha didn’t stop the bots from registering – I had to enable botscout

It is not always bots these days. There are now huge rooms full of underpaid souls in sweatshops being paid pennies to register their employers garbage on sites.

It has all changed a bit with J1.7. Not even sure if the osol captcha works with J1.7 but I have not tested.

Can you supply a link to the captcha plugin that you want to use with the JA Login module so I can investigate how to implement it?

I’ve take a quick look through the docs on that other site and I am not sure that plugin will work with the JA Login. It would take a bit of investigation into their plugin and how it works to be able to know whether it is possible to integrate it in the JA Login.

Ask the question on their forums and show them the sode posted above and maybe they can tell you if it is even possible. Their code appears to detect the submit button and insert the captcha above it but only if the submit button is generated by a single line of code.
