Hi, Jay!
Testing my yvComment, I noticed, that after some browsing through my site (and seeing Captcha
image, but not adding comments), image showed "service not available",
because it showed "secret word" too many times...
This is because Captcha counts, how many times it showed "secret image",
but IMO it should count attempts to recognize secret word (calls of 'confirm' function)!
This is a way, how to implement this:
As I found out, this number of attempts is stored in the "freecap_attempts" session variable.
As I see you have to:
1. Comment this line in plugins/system/freecap/freecap.php:
Code:
// $_SESSION['freecap_attempts']++;
2. Add two lines to the plugins/system/captcha.php file, inside
confirm function:
Code:
} else {
//yvolk added two lines 2007-10-14
$_SESSION['freecap_attempts']++;
$session->set('freecap_attempts', $_SESSION['freecap_attempts']);
return false;
Of cause, this is just a patch and not a smart solution
And another suggestion, about which we talked already: please add some options to the plugin to strengthen or tighten security
(including fonts to use...)
