[garry]

Very useful plugin! Thanks a lot!

[garry]

PS There is some bug... js-error appears when displaying normal_image - new window with large image doesn't open by click (MSIE 5.5). But if captcha-plugin installed as described in http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0 everything is OK.

[ryback]

It seems not to be working in Mozilla FireFox. :-(
IE is OK

[Sami]

@garry And ryback
Would you please post a link to your galleries?

[Nibbler]

I don't understand how this plugin is supposed to prevent bots posting comments.

@Nibbler:
I don't know how bots deal with forms !
plugin will disable  OK button until you enter correct code and then it will become enable

Link to my gallery is in my profile. But now it's installed as described in http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0

[Sami]

@ryback:works fine for me in both FF and IE !

[Sami]

@Nibbler: I've got your point , Bots can simply using myform.submit() command so I should use server-side code verification
@All:this plugin has a major bug , do not using it !!! sorry for wast of time !
Update(new version bug fixed):
check the first post

[Nibbler]

Bots don't use javascript atall. You can use the page_start hook to check for the comment being posted and verify it from there.

[Sami]

Yes , thank you

[Sami]

New version , Bug Fixed 

[Nibbler]

Still no good. You need to check for the comment being submitted, not the code.

[Sami]

checking of $_POST['msg_body'] could be enough?
As I see under orginal mod Abbas checked $_POST['event'] instead

[Sami]

Announcement:
New version of plugin with a bug fixed released
The bug cause the Blank page (white page) after submitting an empty comment to db_input.php
