How to integrate PlayThru captcha

Like many people know, Google Recaptcha cannot be used in China.

The more so, many may find this captcha bad looking or inappropriate for their sites.

So, taking this into consideration, I decided to publish my PlayThru integration that I some time ago made for one of my clients.

Here you can see what this captcha looks like:

Ok, let's get to the point:

First, you need to register on the site: http://portal.areyouahuman.com/signup/basic

After that, you will be provided with two keys: Publisher Key and Scoring Key which can be obtained from your dashboard: http://portal.areyouahuman.com/dashboard/

In the Dashboard, you should also choose PHP as the Platform and Embedded as the Game Style.

You will need to enter those keys somewhere on your site, but you don't have a place for that yet :-)

So, you will have to create these parameters manually in the database by running these two queries:

INSERT INTO `sys_options` SET `Name` = 'sys_playthru_key_publisher', `kateg` = '14', `desc` = 'PlayThru Key Publisher', `order_in_kateg` = '70';

INSERT INTO `sys_options` SET `Name` = 'sys_playthru_key_scoring', `kateg` = '14', `desc` = 'PlayThru Key Scoring', `order_in_kateg` = '80';

Then go to Admin Panel -> Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Security and enter those two keys in there.

I have attached two files. One file, playthru.zip should be extracted into the plugins directory of your Dolphin's installation folder.

The other file, BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php, should be placed in the scripts folder of your template, for example: templates/tmpl_alt/scripts/BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php

That is it! Every time you switch to the ALT template, you will have PlayThru captcha instead of the default Google one.

You're welcome :-)

is this work with evotemplate ? thanks

 
Thanks!! 

 Yes, this should work for the EVO template, too.

Just place the file BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php into the folder
templates/tmpl_evo/scripts/

weird not working for me

is there anything else i have to do ?

Thanks , i've done everything but can't see no captcha image in the join form ....

do i have to create something else to make it working , something like Captcha in the fuild builder of join form ?

 The Captcha block should be placed on the Join Form in Builders -> Profile Fields

Yes there's captcha block but nothing is been displayed , i can see only top red boarder but no full captcha at all...

 Could you please contact BoonEx online (bottom-right corner) and provide your FTP access?

will do now

 I'm not getting it either..

I removed the supplied keys in the settings thinking I would get my Google box back.

I get this.

[edit]

Putting the keys back in, shows this and also breaks the Birthday calendar. I am using the EVO template.

Removing the keys, the Birthday box works, but no Google captcha.

 Ok, I have checked and added this line to my tutorial:

In the Dashboard, you should also choose PHP as the Platform and Embedded as the Game Style.

Thank you!

I found the area in the dashboard at the playthru site, now I see the captcha.. 

But, the Birthday box is still not working..

The calendar works great on my site:

Do you have any custom Javascript?

 Yes.

[edit]

I corrected and it now works. Great option for us! Thanks again.

newtown do you have any prob with viewing in the phone vertical way ? looks like right side not showing properly

Thanks

 Unfortunately, you can't change the width "dynamically", so if you change it for the mobile browser, it will also change for the site.

In the file templates\tmpl_evo\scripts\BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php

replace

return $this->_ayah->getPublisherHTML();

with

return $this->_ayah->getPublisherHTML(array('setwidth' => '250'));

hmm i see what you mean , it change the inside and looks far better in the phone now lol but the site looks the inside small and the background red is big ... i think will leave it this way :)

Thanks for your help

 forms_adv.css

/****************************************

.form_input_captcha {
    background-color: #b71800;
    padding: 0.5em;
    border-radius: 1em;

    max-width: 480px;

Change to:

.form_input_captcha {

    padding: 0.5em;

    color: #ffffff;
    display:inline-block;
}

@Igor_L

Would you be willing to make something like this an official change?

First add another install query such as this:

INSERT INTO `sys_options` SET `Name` = 'sys_playthru_use_playthru', `kateg` = '14', `desc` = 'Use PlayThru in templates that support it?', `type` = 'checkbox', `order_in_kateg` = '81';

Then use if statement in BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php to use modified class (BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA) if sys_playthru_use_playthru is on, else unmodified class if off. 

That way, I can design custom templates to use PlayThru if it is available, and also work with standard captcha... using the same BxTemplCaptchaReCAPTCHA.php file,

INSERT INTO `sys_options` SET `Name` = 'sys_playthru_use_playthru', `kateg` = '14', `desc` = 'Use PlayThru in templates that support it?', `type` = 'checkbox', `order_in_kateg` = '81';

 Thank you for your suggestion.

I will do it this weekend and include in the original post ;-)

Thanks for your work on this Igor!  I like this better than any other captcha method I have seen

Thank you, houstonlively

Although I don't like this method because you're using something like macros in C and I don't really like them :-)

So, if I happen to do it another way, I will definitely publish it.

But for now, your method is the best :-)

@ Igor

I removed the code I posted, because after thinking about it, I thought it might detract from the original intent of your PlayThru integration, and possibly confuse people.   I'll just use my changes in a free template posted in the Tips forum, and I'll refer to this topic for the initial PlayTHru integration.

Sometimes I get a little overenthusiastic. This is your Playthru integration, and I should not have posted variations of it in the same topic.

hi sorry but somehow i read and read but my site now don't show captcha but red dot as someone asked above.

I did what was suggested.

I extracted advised plugin and uploaded it via ftp

thanks for your help

Your problem is self-inflicted, and  unrelated to this modification.  Ask your question in a separate topic, and I'll answer it.

Hi ,

thanks and will ask seperately

by the way, your icon is very scary but you have been a great tool on this boonex. I seek your solutions and resolve

thanks for being there
