Secure Registration is an improvement over the normal com_registration. I've added the captcha verification. You can see the demo site that uses the component. The project also have a replacement for the mod_login so that the "Lost Password" and "Register" links point the user to the right component.

Update: Added a refresh link to the captcha image

Good Job by jsventer, May 9, 2008

Easy to install and easy to configure. It's a pity the image is so... so... normal?

A suggestion for jnk. Com_registration is no longer needed. Since it is not possible to delete it using the Installer, you can delete its branch from ./component/com_registration or (just in case) rename it so the botnet wouldn't find it.

Standard registration still there ? by jnk, May 2, 2008

The module works out of the box.

I can't stop wondering however, what is it that stops the bots from directly accessing the url of the standard registration component instead of the secure one ?

I assume the bots don't go into the trouble of scanning the front page for the registration link but instead go directly for the http://yoursite.here/index.php?option=com_registration&task=register registration url. This url is still there and fully functional and allows registration without the captcha.

So is there something I am missing here ?

Owner's reply:
You aren't. This component/module doesn't remove the ability to use the normal com_registration.

Since i don't want to mess with the Joomla code it's better to leave that to the site administrator by removing the com_registration or chmod'ing the files

Does what it says! But two small issues... by drystone wall, January 5, 2008

Installed with no problems, and it does what it says from the zip get go. One reviewer says it works with Fireboard, but using Fireboard 1.04 the registration is not Captcha but normal - so I need to look into this issue. The other small prob (agreeing with another reviewer) is that the Captcha image is too simple. I run a couple of VBulletin forums and know how the bots often get around this. I am use to seeing GD in True Type Font style as Vb has initiated. So two small issues for the authors look at perhaps. But all round excellent value for money.

Owner's reply:
If you could provide me a link that shows what type of fonts/combinations could improve the component i can work on it.

Just What I Was Looking For by Video Savant, July 30, 2007

Up until I came across Secure Registrations, I was really caught between a rock and a hard place, as my "captcha" registration options boiled down to "Security Images: THE CAPTCHA engine," which seems to have a scary install process, and "Community Builder," which was overkill for me, as I didn't really have any need for the core CB functionality.

So, Secure Registrations is right on the money, doing just what I need without a lot of extra overhead or drama.

One installation tip. Your PHP server needs to have been compiled with both GD (graphics) and FreeType support.
