Is there any CAPTHA facility that will work with XOOPS 2.4.4

Hi

Is there a captcha module or facility in XOOPS 2.4.4? I am using PHP 5.2.14.

I've used Xoops for one of my sites since 2004 but in recent years I've been bombarded with loan companies and spammers registering accounts and filling their profiles with links and texts to their viagra sites and loan companies! And yes, I have got "activation required by user" set, I have got a list of blocked username types and e-mail domains and comments have to be approved by me.

Other than users having to wait for me to manually authorise a user account, Captha must be the next best thing? But XOOPS 2.4.4 seems to lack a CAPTHA setting.

Hi Mamba

Thanks for the guidance. I have been pondering the upgrade for several months but had been putting off, but I went for it just now from 2.4.4 to 2.5.3 and everything seems to have gone OK so far! Very impressed with the changes - well done.

Now I just need to find where the CAPTCHA settings are as they are not presenting themsevles to me....?

Set recaptcha in /class/captcha/config.php, and details in: config.recaptcha.php

could improve this as I have done by inserting two fields in preferences to change or add private key and public key, or is a safety issue?

Thanks for the tip Mamba.

I tried all of that but it did not work until I realised that with this version of Xoops you need to install the Profile module (https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=101&lid=1949). Having downloaded and installed that, I now have a CAPTHA in y registration page.

Thanks a lot

NO NO, Official profile version is 1.61 and is delivered with the core package. Do not use other versions please.

Sounds like before we get a 2.5.4 version the profile module should be updated or verified that the newer versions by wishcraft work well and include the latest.

And if I use this, what are the risks to the security module having added a basic pack with a class to change my preferences to add the key?

'private_key' => $GLOBALS['xoopsModuleConfig']['private_key'],
    'public_key'  => $GLOBALS['xoopsModuleConfig']['public_key'],
    'theme'       => $GLOBALS['xoopsModuleConfig']['recapcha_theme'],

@timgno,
I did not understood what you said but, that piece of code is getting configs, not setting them.
