Intro:Tired of spam in comments? Here's a solution for you - yet another captcha mod for Coppermine. This mod adds captcha security codes to the comments page, thus protecting your gallery from spamming by bots. The original code was written by PatheticCockroach and modified by me to suit CPG. Another captcha mod suggested by Abbas Ali can be found here http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0)

If you don't have this template in your theme file, just copy-and-paste it from here.

$CONFIG['TABLE_VOTE_STATS'] = $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'].'vote_stats';
$CONFIG['TABLE_HIT_STATS'] = $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'].'hit_stats';Paste the following code right after it:
/* captcha hack --start */
require_once( 'include/turing.class.php');
$turingNumber = new TuringNumber();
$CONFIG['TABLE_TURINGS'] = $CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'].'turings';
/* captcha hack --end */lang/whatever_language_you_use.phpAdd

'report_comment_title' => 'Report this comment to the administrator', //cpg1.4Add
'code_doesnt_match' => 'Code doesn't match', //cpg1.4after
'non_exist_comment' => 'The selected comment does not exist.',The mod keeps "session" info in the database, so you'll need to create a new table:
CREATE TABLE `cpg140_turings` (
`session` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`code` varchar(4) NOT NULL default '',
`heure` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`session`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
That's it! You can see the example of this mod in action here:

Enjoy your spam-free gallery :)
Thanks for your contribution. It's not actually a plugin (which per definition would mean to use coppermine's plugin API), but a mod. Moving accordingly.
Hello GauGau,
I know it's not a plugin, I just couldn't find the more appropriate forum to discuss this mod in the 'Support' section besides 'cpg1.4 plugins'. :)
Hey Atnika,
I tried Abbas Ali's mod with no success. I'm just simply using a Hardwired theme with modified images and colour. The theme.php has alot of code, but not the code that we need. Anyway so I tried yours yesterday,
...ok everytime I write a post it says I've already posted, when nothing's been posted.
Hey Atnika,
To continue... I tried yours yesterday, followed your steps carefully, and got this error in the gallery:
Parse error: parse error in D:\web\jorx.mrkernel.net\gallery\lang\english.php on line 36
which is caused by
CREATE TABLE `cpg140_turings` (
`session` varchar(32) NOT NULL default '',
`code` varchar(4) NOT NULL default '',
`heure` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`session`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM;
I didn't know where to put the (CREATE TABLE...) according to your tutorial, so I just moved it towards the end, (originally I put it at the beggining) then got this error instead:
Parse error: parse error, expecting `')'' in D:\web\jorx.mrkernel.net\gallery\lang\english.php on line 94
which is caused by
'code_doesnt_match' => 'Code doesn't match', //cpg1.4
I've attached the english.php.txt file, if you have time, I would vastly appreciate your assistance!
Thanks,
Jordan
About the attached file:
Instead of attaching, you can grab it directly at;
http://jorx.mrkernel.net/gallery/lang/english.php.txt
You should not put the "CREATE TABLE...." code in any of the php files. It is a database query which needs to be executed via phpMyAdmin or any other database tool you have.
Oh, ok, so I'll discuss that with my server admin. So once the table is created, will that resolve the errors? I'm going to go attempt it now. Thanks, Abbas.
Hm... still doesn't work. I get this error in the website:
"CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."
Do you know what that means? Thanks a ton for your time, I've almost given up.
Hey, guys!
Sorry, I haven't been watching this topic and had no idea there's a discussion here ;) Yeah, CGI Error doesn't sound like a captcha error.
i have problem with my theme.php...
it only conntains this..

If you don't have theme_html_comments function in your theme file, copy the following text from themes/sample/theme.php into themes/yourtheme/theme.php
Gaugau
I tried to copy the themes/sample/theme.php into themes/yourtheme/theme.php. But when I run my album, i got a blank white page. It seems tthe my theme.php which i use is not working with the sample/theme.php. right now I cant post message (http://studio.bluescreendigital.com/displayimage.php?album=topn&cat=-73&pos=1) its asking for the "Confirmation code didn't matched " I think its the theme.php. Sorry, im new to this. thanks
You're not suppossed to paste the entire content of themes/sample/theme.php into your custom file, but only the section mentioned in Atnika' posting.
Blank pages usually are the result of some whitespace. Make sure that there are no spaces nor emtpy lines after ?>
Now I got it, I got a right page, but the problem is... no code.. only "'.().'"
http://studio.bluescreendigital.com/displayimage.php?album=lastup&cat=0&pos=3
any idea? sorry this.
Hi!
I have tried this one and I have done a new table in my phpmsql. But it can't find the table file I created(include/turing.class.php');
Must I create it as a php file too and load it on my server, or what is wrong?
Somebody knows?

that link doesn't work anymore :(
kalapm, could you tell me how did you solve the '.().' thing?
ok,
first i have read and apply all rules of this discussion, and my coppermine give me the .'()'.
after i go to ST.Lotta's link ( http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0 , work for me) and i apply careful this other rules.
and now captcha mod work :o
i don't know where is the error , but finally is all ok!
that was the first thing I did
I actually did it yesterday but it wasn't working either, so I just left everything there
today I decided to give it a second try and I searched for Captcha on the forum, and this thread came up, and it seem like an easier way to install it
but it wasn't lol, it only threw me the '.().' - so I went back to St. Lotta's link and tried those steps again, but it kept on showing that error
I don't know what's going on :-\
Hi!
Are you shore that you follow the steps in order? and follow the link http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0 (http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=29564.0). Then you must don't forget to follow the steps in the forum there. And don't forget to download the file captcha.zip otherwise it wont work.
