Anti-Bot Question

[Eelke]

THANK ... i missed the step "PURGED the cache

This is a common oversight with any changes made to the template files, not just this MOD.

[scousser]

Hi,

I installed successfully the mod on the prosilver template and the antibot question appears well when someone tries to register.

I would like to open my forum to guest users (therefore having not registered) and would like the antibot question to appear each time someone tries to post a message (instead or eventually with the captcha).

What code should I add and where ? on which file ?

Thanks for your help !

This would require a whole new MOD.

Hi,

I added the changes, refreshed the template, cleared the cache but the question does not appear.

Do you agreed in the code of the posting.php I should have :

$solved_captcha = $solved_abq


Otherwise Any idea ?

Many thanks for your support !!

[RMcGirr83]

$solved_captcha = $solved_abq

Should be

Code: Select all

$solved_captcha = $solved_abq = false;

You must first have this mod installed before this add-on will work. Other than that, it seems to work fine. Double check your edits to posting.php and if you are still having issues you can PM me your php file. Also don't forget that the edits to the HTML files have to occur on whatever style you use. I gave the code for prosilver based styles.

Hi,

I typied this wrong : $solved_captcha = $solved_abq = false;

Will try it and let you know !

Thanks.

Installed and works like a champ! Just what I have been looking for. Thank you for the great mod.

[scousser]

Thanks, the mod works great

Strange, this is not working for me. No problems during installation, found the configuration section in the admin panel (General -> Board Configuration -> User registration settings: Anti-Bot Question) and added my question and my answer.

However, when I try to register a new user, and adding the answer I configured in the admin panel, the registration halts with the message "No Anti-Bot Question Answer Entered."

I really can't figure this out. I have looked through the installation instructions a few times and the files I have modified, but I cannot see any problems.

Anyone?

You need to install the mod into whichever style you are using. If you did and still don't see the question in the registration, then ensure you also refreshed the template/purged the cache.

Oh, but I did install the mod into the style I'm using. I can see the anti-bot question during registration, no problems there, the problem starts when I hit submit to complete the registration. Even if I have entered the anti-bot question correctly, I get the message "No Anti-Bot Question Answer Entered."

[Hippie459MN]

Make sure you have the answer entered in your ACP.

Double check the edits to includes/ucp/ucp_register.php.
