Will this work with any template or just for prosilver? Hope you can make it work with any templates later. Thanks!

Weird, mine isn't showing up all of the sudden, been getting emails from users trying to register.

Code: Select all

$(function() {
	// Javascript nubs
	document.getElementById('enable_js').style.display = 'block';

	$("#sortable1, #sortable2").sortable({
		connectWith: '.connectedSortable',
		items: 'li',
		forcePlaceholderSize: true,
		placeholder: 'bg3'
		
	}).disableSelection();
	
	$("#sortable1, #sortable2").bind('sortreceive', function(event, ui) {
		// If the left or right column receive an item, put the child nodes in an array
		var arrSortableListItemsLeft = $( "#sortable1" ).children();
		var arrSortableListItemsRight = $( "#sortable2" ).children();
		
		// And create hidden input fields
		createdata(arrSortableListItemsLeft, 'sortables_options_left', '#sortables_options_left');
		createdata(arrSortableListItemsRight, 'sortables_options_right', '#sortables_options_right');
	});
});

How do you KNOW it is from people who are not checking their email? :)

What I am curious, is how this would work on something like a cell phone. I know that you had a <noscript> that I believe you removed when some bots were getting through the radio check boxes. I use a anti-JS for places I do not know, so adding to the whole anti-JS side, if I came across a forum that required it and I could not otherwise get through, I would be turned off.

Some people I know do almost all surfing on the cell, the reason I asked about it.

If they are surfing the net on their cellphone most of the time, they have java-script on the browser and it's a smartphone. Even with noscript or javascript off(which IMO is a pain because i end up enabling most the of the sites i visit), that is there choice. 98% of internet users have java-script enabled.

Why would you register on a site and not check your email afterward to activate your account? Before I installed this captcha, i would have about 5 inactive accounts that were never activated. Doing a simple search on stopforumspam.com reveals they were spammers. Now i still have people register and don't bother posting, those are not spammers. I allowed downloads for guests, so there isn't a reason to register and not post, but they still do.

This mod combined with the advanced block mod stopped 100% of spam registrations. I am not sure if the advanced mod blocks the spambot before it even submits the form or after, but I do get entries in the block log. So either this captcha has been broken or the advanced block mod blocks the bot when loading the registration form.

Edit: It appears this captcha has been broken already, most of the entries in my block log are timezone checks, which wouldn't be blocked until the registration forum has been submitted. If the client knows the correct value for captha, the captcha is useless.

Are you just seeing the (old) default phpBB3 captcha? Or nothing at all?

I see you have removed the <noscript> part. So it's working fine, but only if you have JavaScript enabled.

By default the <noscript> function is still in it.

I think your timezone checker is running before the captcha factory is called. Therefore it will be logged everytime. :)

I can tell by the usernames.

By the way, no spammers yet (5.5 weeks).

You need to copy over the jquery js files in your prosilver template to the template folder you are using. If you using prosilver, then you JS files never got copied over. I solved the same problem.

Does this work with any theme? Can I make it work for my AeroBlack theme?

Sorry for my late reply.
Yes you can use this on the AeroBlack style. Use the subsilver2 installation instructions and apply them to AeroBlack. ;)

The problem is that I've been using a template called Chronicles (based on prosilver1) and the mod doesn't work on it. Now, Chronicles is, sadly, a template from PhpBB 2 and I've just fixed it up a bit to work with the current PhpBB version, but apparently it's not fixed well enough to make the mod work.

Is there any way to run this mod with an old template? My forum is actually the latest version of phpBB, so that isn't the problem.

Thanks!
I know I'm quoting myself here, but is there any chance I could get this answered? Even a simple "No that cannot be done" would be better than no answer at all, though I'd prefer not to hear that. :P

Thanks!

You could update the style and template your using by following the changelog posted in the styles section.

Or you can use WinMerge or another tool and compare and merge the differences between prosilver and your style. If your running an out of date style, it may cause other problems and conflicts, so I suggest you update that style or find another one that is up to date.
