Version 2.82 released! | Page 2 | Peter's Custom Anti-Spam for WordPress | Forum

Peter,

I've seen that error throughout the log file. For me, it's just an annoyance because I am trying to scan the log file for "true" errors. Since the plugin still works, it's sort of a harmless error. I'll keep an eye out for any updates you might post since I'm keen on upgrading anyway.

Cheers…

I have 2.8. I'll upgrade to 2.82 and see it the message goes away.

Gotta question about the ttf fonts. Back when I upgraded to the 2.0 whatever version the fonts didn't work anymore. I just upgraded to 2.82 and the fonts still do not work. Any thoughts?

Hi. Saw after I posted on the blog that I should've posted here (GULP).

Hi.

I really really people which contribute to the rest of the world and I like your effort with this. I however have a pointer… The word should be randomized since at least my imagination will run out within 100 words.. Is id configurable?

I agree that the captcha should be readable but look here: http://sam.zoy.org/pwntcha/ for inspiration :)

I use jcaptcha.sf.net (look at it) on my site since it is so damn configurable example of my use here: http://www.tailsweep.com/captchaRenderer.do

There are of course a zillion things to add to a captcha to make it unbreakable but then it will most definitely then not be usable. However a random word list is really needed to get an easy share of security (at least a feel of it :) ).

Anyway I’m starting a wpmu blog now so I cannot rely on the things I know best which is Java stuff so I need to rely on cool developers like yourself.

Hope you have a enhancement already in your pocket ready to fire.

Kindly

//Marcus

Hi Peter.
I successfully ripped some code from http://www.white-hat-web-design.co.uk/articles/php-captcha.php
which I found out is used in the wp-signup-captcha http://wpmudev.org/project/WPMU-Signup-Captcha

Just comment or remove all refs to $cas_text[] and add this below.

/*
*$cas_text[] = "school";
$cas_text[] = "blogs";
$cas_text[] = "edu";
$cas_text[] = "gidday";
$cas_text[] = "nospam";
$cas_text[] = "chill";
$cas_text[] = "whoa";
$cas_text[] = "blocked";
$cas_text[] = "enjoy";
$cas_text[] = "feast";*/
*/
function generateCode($characters) {
/* list all possible characters, similar looking characters and vowels have been removed */
$possible = '23456789bcdfghjkmnpqrstvwxyz';
$code = '';
$i = 0;
while ($i < $characters) {
$code .= substr($possible, mt_rand(0, strlen($possible)-1), 1);
$i++;
}
return $code;
}

$cas_text[0] = generateCode($characters='6');

Did you check the diagnostic page at Manage > Custom anti-spam? Maybe you don’t have the FreeType library installed in PHP.

It's installed because I have custom headers using TTF fonts. It was just odd that it stopped working.

Hi Peter,

I just installed this version and get the "blank image window". I've read through a ton of posts and i'm not sure where I need to change to make the fonts work. Can you lend a hand. I dont' even have it working but I can tell this plugin is going to be a life saver.

Cheers,
Andy
