Hello Christian,

Hm, not too sure if I understand you here but do you mean you want to enable captcha for writing a blog post? In my humble opinion, I really don't think this is something that is friendly for authors. It's like preventing the authors from creating blog posts

Hi Mark

I want to prevent SpamBots from filling up my blog through the "comment" function which I want to leave open to non-registered users (as it is also basically set in EasyBlog). Further there actually already is captcha functionality implemented in EasyBlog, so it must be for good reason :-) BUT it's only possible through Recaptcha and through an internal Captcha by EasyBlog itself, I just want to use instead the standard-captcha that I have set in the Joomla configuration (which is KeyCaptach in my case).

Of course I can deny the publication of all unwanted comments but it makes much more sense blocking SpamBots before.

Any suggestions how I can use the Joomla standard-captcha or spedifically KeyCaptcha in EasyBlog? Any plans to open the captcha system not only to Recaptcha and you own functionality?

Thanks
Chris

Hello Christian,

Ah, I see. I get what you mean now. How does the KeyCaptcha works? Is it a plugin and what plugin is it? If the plugin is only displayed on the registration page, there's no way to actually use this

Hi Mark

KeyCaptcha is a plugin in Joomla, the plugin type is "captcha" so its a "real Joomla-captcha". It's set in my Joomla site as defaultcaptcha and it shows up on any generic joomla contact form automatically, but not on the detail view of the posts on EasyBlog and this is what I actually want to achieve. KeyCaptcha also has an API, maybe it's possible to implement it into the detail view of the posts, please have a look here: http://www.keycaptcha.com/php-captcha/

But what would definitely be best is if EasyBlog had under settings > cooments > anti-spam an option "Use the default Joomla Captcha", this would be great for all users! Please talk to your dev-team and ask if they may enable this in a future release.

Just have a look under "Kontakt" of my site test.fellmannbizz.ch to see how the Key captcha works, it's marvellous, don't you think?

Thanks
Chris

Thanks for the heads up on this Christian We'll see what we can do about this in the future.

That's nice Mark but no help for the moment for me, do you have any suggestion if I can integrate the KeyCaptcha by its PHP API into the commentig function? Which PHP file in EasyBlog is displaying the detail view of a post and the comment-function?

Hello Christian,

If you want to add your own hacks, you'll need to add them in /components/com_easyblog/themes/default/blog.comment.box.php and you'll also want to add your own key captcha checks in /components/com_easyblog/controllers/dashboard.php
