Extension Description: Adds a Java Script encoded code at the foot of your forum to allow you to have a totally SPAMbot free registration system. The fact that humans will find it easy to read does not mean that SPAMbots will. The JaveScript encoding and additional SPAMbot field in the ACP will make it harder for them. The code is not shown to logged on users as they have no use for it.
What this Extension is not: It is NOT a stand alone anti SPAM signup Extension, it NEEDS to be used in conjunction with the built in Q&A CAPTCHA with the code as the ONLY correct answer.
Notes: The user needs to have JavaScript enabled to read the registration code. Should a user have JS disabled there is a warning telling them that they need to switch it on to view the code. The user can copy/paste the code direct to the registration page.
Extension Setup:
- Enable the extension and add your preferred registration code. This may be an actual word or phrase, but for best results use a Random Password Generator such as this Secure Password Generator
- Change both "ChangeMe"s to something unique as well as different from each other. It must be letters ONLY (no spaces, numbers or special characters) and not a word. Again for best results I recommend you use a Password Generator such as this Secure Password Generator making sure you select LETTERS only in this instance.
- Administration Control Panel (ACP) > Spambot countermeasures> Installed plugins > click the dropdown box and select Q&A (it will be greyed out)
- Click the configure button then click add
- Add the question "What is the Registration Code shown at the bottom of the forum?"
- Add the answer which is the code you used above
- Repeat for each language you have installed on the board, with the answer EXACTLY the same as stage 4
- You may want to set "Strict Check" to "yes" to ensure the code is entered EXACTLY as displayed
- Click submit
- Click "back to previous page" then click "back"
- Select Q&A from the dropdown box (again)
- Click submit at the bottom of the page.
