How To Get the Captcha to Work Under RavenNuke 2.10.x +

Site Admin/Owner Joined: Feb 12, 2005 Posts: 1139

Yes, it is true, the new captcha that was added as a part of RavenNuke version 2.10.00 causes the NSN GR Download captcha to not work properly. This is actually a good thing, because the older Download captcha is not as strong a captcha any longer. This is what I did to get the NSN GR Downloads to use the new captcha:

=== OPEN FILE ===

modules/Downloads/public/getit.php

=== FIND CODE ===

Code:

if ($dl_config['usegfxcheck'] == 1) {
if (extension_loaded("gd")) {
echo "<tr><td><b>"._DL_YOURPASS.":</b></td><td><img src='modules.php?name=$module_name&op=gfx&random_num=$random_num' height='20' width='80' border='0' alt='"._DL_YOURPASS."' title='"._DL_YOURPASS."'></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>"._DL_TYPEPASS.":</b></td><td><input type='text' name='passcode' size='10' maxlength='10'></td></tr>";
echo "<input type='hidden' NAME='checkpass' value='$random_num'>";
} else {
$datekey = date("F j");
$rcode = hexdec(md5($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT] . $sitekey . $random_num . $datekey));
$code = substr($rcode, 2, 8);
$ThemeSel = get_theme();
if (file_exists("themes/$ThemeSel/images/downloads/code_bg.png")) {
$imgpath = "themes/$ThemeSel/images";
} else {
$imgpath = "images";
}
echo "<tr><td><b>"._DL_YOURPASS.":</b></td><td height='20' width='80' background='$imgpath/code_bg.png' class='storytitle' align='center'><b>$code</b></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td><b>"._DL_TYPEPASS.":</b></td><td><input type='text' name='passcode' size='10' maxlength='10'></td></tr>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='checkpass' value='$code'>";
}
}

=== REPLACE WITH ===

Code:

if ($dl_config['usegfxcheck'] == 1) {
/*****[BEGIN]******************************************
[ Base: GFX Code v1.0.0 ]
******************************************************/
global $modGFXChk, $module_name;
echo security_code($modGFXChk[$module_name], 'stacked');
/*****[END]********************************************
[ Base: GFX Code v1.0.0 ]
******************************************************/
}

=== OPEN FILE ===

modules/Downloads/public/go.php

=== FIND CODE ===

Code:

if ((extension_loaded("gd") AND $code != $passcode) AND $dl_config['usegfxcheck'] == 1) {
@include("header.php");
title(_DL_PASSERR);
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._DL_INVALIDPASS."</center><br>\n";
echo "<center>"._GOBACK."</center>\n";
CloseTable();
@include("footer.php");
die();
} elseif ((!extension_loaded("gd") AND $checkpass != $passcode) AND $dl_config['usegfxcheck'] == 1) {
@include("header.php");
title(_DL_PASSERR);
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._DL_INVALIDPASS."</center><br>\n";
echo "<center>"._GOBACK."</center>\n";
CloseTable();
@include("footer.php");

=== REPLACE WITH ===

Code:

/*****[BEGIN]******************************************
[ Base: GFX Code v1.0.0 ]
******************************************************/
global $modGFXChk, $module_name;
if (isset($_POST['gfx_check'])) $gfx_check = $_POST['gfx_check']; else $gfx_check = '';
if (!security_code_check($gfx_check, $modGFXChk[$module_name])) {
/*****[END]********************************************
[ Base: GFX Code v1.0.0 ]
******************************************************/
@include("header.php");
title(_DL_PASSERR);
OpenTable();
echo "<center>"._DL_INVALIDPASS."</center><br />\n";
echo "<center>"._GOBACK."</center>\n";
CloseTable();
@include("footer.php");
die();

=== DONE ===

Enjoy!

this did not work for me mate. all i get is a blank page after installing this codes.

You must get them exactly right and in the right place. For example, if you accidentally replace too much code, it can do this.

A blank page is PHP parse error (at least in most cases, and definitely in this case). So, maybe a missing { or }?

Also, I only have the code for the latest version which is 1.0.3, so hopefully that is what you have?

If you still cannot get it to work, send both files to me at montego {{AT}} montegoscripts __DOT__ com.

well thank you very much, i send you the files to your email. i dont know what i did wrong, i tried like 3 times got the same problem. Thanks for your help...

You are right! My bad! Sorry about that. I should know better than to re-code something on the fly. I had it right in my original code the first time.

I have corrected the code above for modules/Downloads/public/go.php.

Please try again. Again, my sincerest apologies,

Would this have changed under RN 2.3.01.As I made the changes but nothing happens.Everything works just no captcha shows up

EDIT: I have double checked and captcha is set to 7
EDIT2: and Use Security Code is on in downloads admin

Check also in rnconfig.php that the captcha is enabled for the Download module.

No, nothing should have changed in 2.3.1 as that is what I am also running on this site (well, mostly).

in config downloads is set to 3

Uuggghh, sorry, I forgot to mention that if you are logged in as Admin, you will not see the captcha. That is actually a convenience thing. "Why does an admin ever need to be bothered by a captcha?" was the thinking.

So, may need to check that, because otherwise, this is working fine for me on RN 2.3.1.
