RPS Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would like to remove the Captcha image for the domain availability checker (file:domainchecker.php), but keep the one on the submit ticket page. This is not possible, correct? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
railto Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 from looking in the system config it seems that its all or nothing 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I would think the script (which is encrypted) would throw back an error saying it's not been filled in - maybe Matt can do a quick edit to remove the check, and then encrypt it again. Open a support ticket (unless he replies here pretty soon) and see what he says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS Developer WHMCS Andrew Posted January 19, 2008 WHMCS Developer Share Posted January 19, 2008 In general config, under Other there is an option to disable CAPTCHA images, but I think this would do that for Support Tickets and Domain Whois 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Have you tried removing the if statement from the "domainchecker.tpl" template file and testing? {if $capatacha}<img src="includes/verifyimage.php" align="middle"> <input type="text" name="code" size="10" maxlength="5"> {/if} 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I hadn't checked, since I don't need that on my install. Just did, and it fails...disregard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Yeah, that doesn't work I only care about spammers who are trying to send in e-mails or support tickets. The extra step for clients trying to check if a domain is available (by entering a captcha image), outweighs the side effects of a spammer submitting random information into the domain field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 The only way this can be resolved as far as I can see is if Matt adds the option to disable captcha images in more detail. Since the script is encrypted - we can't remove the captcha check ourselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Seen the announcement yet on v 3.6? http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?p=44381#post44381 "Captcha Settings for On, Off or Off Only when Logged In" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonO Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Doh. I knew that Well this is another solved WHMCS query 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 That is definitely an improvement, however, it still doesn't help us here Domain availability check shouldn't have a captcha at all. When a new client wants to buy a domain, he/she has to enter the captcha image on the domain availability page. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 19, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 19, 2008 Just link to http://demo.whmcs.com/cart.php?a=add&domain=register instead of the domain checker Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 So why does the domain availability checker have a captcha, but that page doesn't? Why would anyone want to put a captcha behind a form that checks if a domain is available? Maybe if I understand the reasons for it, I'll better accept the idea of using it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHMCS CEO Matt Posted January 19, 2008 WHMCS CEO Share Posted January 19, 2008 Run a lot of lookups through a whois server and your server IP will be banned by it. The captcha image stops people processing lookups through your form via scripts remotely. Matt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPS Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Then why isn't that implemented on the register domain page is the same problem exists? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
