Re: asy_captcha (Anti-Spam), Txp 4.0.3 and up
Hi Kossatch,
> Not a really good contrast, not even with difficulty = 0.
That’s really a necessity – if the contrast was good, it woud be very easy to break it with software. That’s how the old phpbb-captcha this is baed on was broken so quickly.

I am afraid not with this plugin. As most of the stuff (including the basis for the characters) is hardcoded, so as to work on a wide range of servers. If you know your server has GD intalled, you can swap out the functions that convert the text to an image – if you know PHP.

I assume the error-messages for missing name, or message box left empty appear twice as well…? This has to do with your template – look for the txp-tag that outputs error messages. It was auto added in an upgrade scipt earlier, it’s possible that you have it twice in your template. (Check the tag-trace if you’re unsure).

Indeed I am unsure, and I will have a look at what his sentence means. ;-)
Would it be possible to make a plug-in request ( I will post this twice, also into the right category, of course).
Here (e.g. here can find a kind of anti-spam measure I would like to implement in TXP.
This measure is a question (e.g. “4+5 =”, “What was the first name of John Wayne?”, “Type Hello” or “How is the name of this blog?”) that requires an answer easy to find and to enter for any rather intelligent reader.
How about basing this on the asy_captcha plug-in? Shouldn’t be too difficult, should it?
Thx in advance

Well, the last days, I had to use this plugin due to spam.
Unfortunatelly, I get annoying mails from my readers, because the contrast in the captcha is not good. The problem is, I have a few elder readers… I’d really appreciate a possibility to increase the contrast, although I know, that spam bots can then read more easyly the captcha.
But I would take the risk instead of loosing readers.

I look through the code and changed this line:
<code> $asy_captcha_conf[‘contrast’] = 40;</code>
Now, the captcha gives rather nice and readable images. Additionally, I restricted the captcha to display only numbers. this makes it easier for users to comment.
