 This Community Builder plugin produces a captcha image and a security field along with verification logic. This security feature can be included (via plugin parameter settings) in one or more of the following CB processes: registration process, forgotten password process and email user process. A number of parameter settings are available to customize the captcha image. A must have plugin to protect against spambots!
Requirements: CB 1.0.2 or better; PHP 4/5 with GD and FreeType libraries
Known Issue: Sites with JSMF component from Joomlahacks must go to SMF Admin ==> Server Settings ==> Feature Configuration and disable: Use database driven sessions.
Update: Version 2 of this Captcha plugin (installable only on CB 1.1 websites) is available for documentation subscribers on Joomlapolis. New features include: audio playback, hooks for CB Login and CB Contacts, does not break from garbage in template or language files.
Editor's Note: - This extension requires registration to download.

I'm using CB 1.1 and Joomla 1.0.13. The plugin installed without any problems on the first try. I also like the feature that lets you pick the look of the font in the captcha. |

This is a great extension. Simple to install - no complications at all. I used to get several automated registrations per day - none now. It should be considered an essential security item for anyone running CB!! |

Initially the plug-in didn't worked on my Joomla 1.0.11.
I upgraded to Joomla 1.0.12 and by the help of Nant, it WORKED !!!
10000 of thanks to Nant for his personal touch.
The plug-in is so beautifully build, that using some small mods (available at JoomlaPolis forum) this captcha system can be used in anywhere within Joomla. Owner's reply: Version 2 of this plugin has been released for CB documentation subscribers. Version 2 has audio playback functionality and is also immune to garbage characters in language files or joomla template. |

This is a first for me: not being able to get a CB plugin to work. I have been anxiously awaiting this plugin and reading the other posts, it seemed to be what I was waiting for.
Unfortunately, I have downloaded and installed, and I have no image (just a space for an image). Although other reviews state it worked for them "out of the box," I've so far opened two boxes and it doesn't feel much like Christmas. That being said, I'm sure it is something I'm doing incorrect -- the CB Team are incredible!! Owner's reply: Version 2 of this plugin is immune to garbage in language or template files. Downloadable for CB documentation subscribers from Joomlapolis. |

Thank you for helping out on the Joomlapolis forums!!! |

Better late than never but we have a captcha option on the registration. It works both in Joomla 1.0.11 and 1.0.12 very well with 1.0.2. Note it does not work with earlier versions of CB but that is logical and no objection. Any person should update anyhow to 1.0.2.
pro: works in register & password & email
con: no refresh button/ no disability (announced next release)
still missing: Captcha on login module
with refresh and module captcha i would rate good. Add than disability you get excellent.
one hurdle taken though!
leolam Owner's reply: Captcha on login module?
I think this would be an overkill and not user friendly. Even without the refresh feature (which would require AJAX and thus be unfriendly for accessibility) if you fail to get the security code the first time, then the application form is presented again with a new code and all (but the password) fields are kept intact. |

Hi,
I have tried it out and installed the plugin
on several sites. It is an excellent tool to
help battle the bot spam! It works without
issues, just remember to publish it and install
it in your CB plugins manager area.
Thank You! |
