Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for comments/registration/reporting/login/ecard

[bsvee]

I'm refusing to upgrade my coppermine install because I simply don't want to mess with having to get captcha working again, as it works fine today. I imagine myself spending hours diffing files and combing through these threads to get it working again.

Will captcha become a standard feature anytime soon? What is coppermine's roadmap? If I stop using captcha what is the next best way to control comment spam other than turning off comments altogether?

I read that CAPTCHA is standard in Coppermine 1.5, but I warn against not upgrading because you run the risk of getting that .php virus everybody's been getting lately (and that is NO fun.)

I really made things harder on myself that it needed to be, my over-complicating shouldn't keep you from updating.

@bsvee:
Updating Coppermine wont touch your captcha plugin installation and it will works as it was before .
Just make sure to do not overwrite plugins directory on updating process.

I upload it manually in plugins/captcha folder, captcha.php upload in root and after that I go to my site pluginmgr.php page, but on that page I dont see captcha to I install it. Please help me and tell me what I to do, how to install this great plugin?

BIG mistake! You can either mess with the update now or mess with having to cleanse every single php and html file on your website EVERYWHERE. I just came from there, and I've been working on it all night and most of the morning (had to take the day off from work to do it).

At the very least make a complete backup of your website including databases. You WILL need it WHEN you get hit.

Okay, I upgraded my gallery so I'm safe now, but captcha doesn't work. I believe that I configured it in 2006 when it wasn't technically a plug-in but more of a hack. Is there anything in my theme from 2006 that may need updating to support the plug-in? This is just what I feared with the upgrade.

--edit

I should add that I had files in the gallery root and include directory with the old plug-in. I downloaded the plug-in from page one of this thread and followed those install instructions.

--edit

Never mind, I'm in business!

@mladja04:
Can't find captcha folder in plugins and neither captcha.php in your gallery root
please make sure to copy both of them

[mladja04]

I delete all files because I have some problems and upload new, than forget to upload this captcha files.
Now I upload it, but still isn't visible into plugin administration page.

[Sami]

You didn't upload all files and folder !
For example I can't find : codebase.php , configuration.php , schema.sql , .... within captcha folder
please re-upload all files and folder and try again

[mladja04]

I think that I download and upload some bad veriosn and missing some files. I now upload again captcha version 3.0 but now at top of center position in all pages I and all visitors see this red message:
This is sample data returned from plugin "".

What happen?

[Nibbler]

You installed the sample plugin.

Thank you very much.

[Hein Traag]

Did you place captcha.php at the root of your cpg site ?

Usually the version number of cpg is included on the page.. i can't see it with your site, did you remove it ?
Latest version is 1.4.18.. if you run a older version then please upgrade asap.
