[SOLVED]more spam (bots) in comments

[snowdrop]

Hello dear
Well, more and more spam every day in 'comments'. Looking forward to the update . . . Meanwhile if I attempt to implement RECAPTCHA myself would I need to edit the default template in the 'comments form' section? It seems a little tricky, but I'm willing to give it a try. The site gives good instructions.
THANKS

There is more to that than just editing the templates alone.

You also need to modify the functions.php file to implement the reCAPTCHA libraries.

Are you willing to modify the script and implement the recatpcha protection? I would be glad to post it as sticky on the forum. You would save a lot of problems to other users.

It's possible but my implementation would have one to open up some of the configuration files to store the required public and private keys in it before using it. I would like my question to be answered first before I make my implementation. Not to mention, your board's CAPTCHA system has been broken already. Install the plug-in for your board: http://recaptcha.net/plugins/phpbb/.

Thanks anyway for the great script. So far it is the only flat-file based PHP news system and also with .XML file RSS there on the web.

rokxer,

Here is the modified version of Xpression News 2.0.

Please do read the edited readme file in the docs folder and also please retain the reCAPTCHA license file as it is required by the MIT License.

That is a great thing you did there. I will put it in the patches area. Did you modify just skin.php and functions.php?

[Kit51]

Yes. Some of the original code are original code are left commented to compare the difference.

You can find the recaptcha patch in the Patch section of the forum.
