Sortables CAPTCHA Plugin

Post by Derky »

Thanks! :D

The way to get rid of spam on your phpBB3 forum! This plugin is based on the default Question & Answer CAPTCHA so you can really make it suitable for your type of forum! For example if you have a cooking forum, then you can ask "What to include for tomato soup?"
Image
The user has to drag Bananas and Apples to the Throw away column to solve the CAPTCHA. :-)

Features:
  • Left and right columns can be renamed to anything
  • Multiple options per column allowed
  • Options are showed in random order
  • Multiple language support
Screenshots:
Tomato soup example ACP:

Michael Jackson albums example ACP:
Make sure your audience know the answers. For example; this question should only be asked on a Michael Jackson fan site.

So you can really customise it to your type of board. 8-)

It is a replacement for the current 3.0.6 captcha, so it will only show up for guests. ;)

Could I suggest altering the checkboxes for the noscript version to radio boxes.

Re: Sortables CAPTCHA Plugin

Well the problem with that, is that I'm using

Code: Select all

$options_left = request_var('sortables_options_left', array(0), true); 
to retreive the options. They are stuffed in an array. With radio boxes, the left & right box need to have the same names.
So I need to have complete redundant code (which I do not like for an extra noscript feature) for that request/validate part, or does someone know a better way to do it?

I don't suppose there will eventually be an option to have multiple sortable sets?

You can already add more then 1 question with multiple options, what do you mean exactly?

Well I'd not use a CAPTCHA on my board that requires javascript, nor would I consider voting for it. ;)

You can achieve the required easily however. You will need a radio button for each item left and right, each with the same name but a different value 'l', 'r' or whatever you choose. I tested by creating an array of radios, like the following:

Code: Select all

<input type="radio" name="sort[value1]" value="l" />
<input type="radio" name="sort[value1]" value="r" />
<input type="radio" name="sort[value2]" value="l" />
<input type="radio" name="sort[value2]" value="r" />
<input type="radio" name="sort[value3]" value="l" />
<input type="radio" name="sort[value3]" value="r" />
You can easily get the required data in one array using the following call to request_var() note that you do not need the multibyte option if you are not requesting multibyte data:

Code: Select all

request_var('sort', array('' => '')); 
You will get an array like this:

Code: Select all

array(3)
{
["value1"]=>  string(1) "l"
["value2"]=>  string(1) "l"
["value3"]=>  string(1) "r"
}

Because I don't like javascript to be a requirement, and will quite often walk away from a site if it is.

I think you're probably using Firefox with the noscript addon. :P

Thanks for the code, I think I can let the JavaScript part also work with this code. :)
