Install google recaptcha

I am sick of the spam bots which daily register on my site.. so I decided to use the better version of google (recaptcha).

in my old nuke site we use APPROVE MEMBERSHIP Version 6.1 from this site http://www.ulsoft.scarbridge.co.uk

how to use it???

I paste the next code

Code:




require_once('recaptchalib.php');


  $publickey = "your key"; // you got this from the signup page


echo '<div dir="ltr">'.recaptcha_get_html($publickey).'</div>';

then the second part inside the form

Code:

echo "<tr><td colspan='2'>\n"


       ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"new user\">\n";


    for ($i = 1; $i < 25; $i++)


    {


       $field_activatedname = "field_activated"."$i";


       $field_activated = $$field_activatedname;


       $customname = "custom"."$i";


      $custom = $$customname;      


      $field_namename = "field_name"."$i";


      $field_name = $$field_namename;


      $field_requiredname = "field_required"."$i";


      $field_required = $$field_requiredname;


      echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$field_namename\" value=\"$field_name\">"


       ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$field_activatedname\" value=\"$field_activated\">"


       ."<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$field_requiredname\" value=\"$field_required\">";


   }    





require_once('recaptchalib.php');


  $publickey = "publickey"; // you got this from the signup page


echo '<div dir="ltr">'.recaptcha_get_html($publickey).'</div>';


                                                 


       echo "<input type=\"submit\" value=\""._NEWUSER."\">\n"


           ."</td></tr></table>\n"


       ."</form>\n"


       ."<br>\n"

to customize it I use clean theme .. add this code before the form like this

Code:

echo "<br>\n";


   OpenTable();








echo" <script type=\"text/javascript\">"


  . "var RecaptchaOptions = {"


  . "   theme : 'clean'"


  . "};"


  . "</script>"


 ."";


   echo "<form action=\"modules.php?name=$module_name\" method=\"post\">\n"


           ."<b>"._REGNEWUSER."</b> ("._ALLREQUIREDEXCEPT.")<br><br>\n"

you can use my index file if you like (modified al lot for rtl languages) en don't forget to change api key

to get the file and own key

I could not add al the code of the index file

A CAPTCHA probably won't help too much with php-nuke because it is possible to register accounts wihout even completeing the form, which is one of the reasons so many people have simply stopped using it. However if you are going to add a third party CAPTCHA, you will also need to add it to the forum registration as well because that is usually what the autmated bots target.

I agree ... one thing I wanna say I disabled registration
through the forum by a small code (i can't find it now).

I also agree when you write that phpnuke is a terrible cms ... I will use raven in my next sites I make for friends and other users

I'm running the latest version of RavenNuke and I'm getting smashed by bots registering at the site Sad

I thought the built-in captcha would keep them up, but somehow it is not. How do the bots get around it? What are some options to fix this??

As far as I'm aware, no bot has ever beaten our CAPTCHA. I do not say it isn't possible, but I have investigated a lot of websites over the years who's owners thought bot's were bypassing the CAPTCHA and every single case I have investigated has led me back to sweat shops who employ people to make manual registrations. If you check the IP of those registering, you will likely find most of them will be from the same net block, probably in India.

I have been using nukeSPAM and Site Guardian on my site and only have 1 or 2 a month trickle in.

Sak, just an observation/question Wink
