Bansai Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I just release a new Contrib.: "Human confirmation" checks if your osC Shop is accessed by human or by robot (script or some other software). It is useful to prevent automated registrations. I am sure you've seen it in the net (try to register with yahoo.com or dot.tk). The script shows a randomly generated picture with digits. The picture is a little bit distorted to prevent automatic recognition. If you're human you will recognize the number and type it into a text box. If the number is right the registration will go on as usual, but if the number ist false or absend the Registrationpage will show again. ( For this Contrib you must have GD-Lib 1.8+ installed ! ) :arrow: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1476 ---- It is like "Anti Robot Registration Validation", but this one is much easyer to install :D ---- Quote Yip yip yip yip yap yap yip *BANG* --- NO TERRIER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Installed it as per instructions and when I go to create account,, I get the following error: Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open 'images/temp.jpg' for writing in /var/www/html/includes/human_confirmation.php on line 55 any ideals thanks in advance Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I solved that issue by creating a blank white jpg and naming it temp,, placing it in the images directory,,, and making it writable,, now,, when I am in create account,, it has the info messed up. where contact information is,, instead of it asking for the phone and fax numbers,, it has a click box for newsletter again,,, which there is still the original one below,,, and ,, it wont let u continue due to not entering the phone number,,, working on this one,, or if anyone has any ideals b4 i figure it out,, please advise,, thanks again,,, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Ok,, half way there,,, got the phone number part added back in,, not sure if it was me,, or the instructions,,, maybe I just got the wrong spot,, however,, now that i have the phone numbers showing again,, i can not get past the validation,, it just keeps loading the same page,,, no error msg ,, but just keeps looping even though i am typing in what i see ????

Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Qwiz, Warning: imagejpeg: unable to open 'images/temp.jpg' for writing in /var/www/html/includes/human_confirmation.php on line 55 Thats normally an Error you get if the Image-dir isn't writeable for the user "wwwrun". Its the useraccount that ist used by PHP, CGI etc. Try to make the Directory writeable for all ( CHMOD 775 or CHMOD 777 ) A other try is to create a small "images/temp.jpg" and change this to 775.

Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Bansai Thanks for checking in,, with what you said,, I did get it resolved. chmod the images to 777 ,, 775 didnt work for me,,, but the 777 and removing the temp.jpg i created did allow it to work as it should. Thanks bunches for the hard work in createing this mod as this was one on my hot list... thanks as well,, for checking the forum and replying so promply Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resoman Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 using osc 2.2 ms1. I cannot find: $process = false; if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'process')) { $process = true; in create_account.php I did a search in the whole catalog directory via dwmx, and could not find this. Is this for the most recent snapshot or ms2? Quote Jesse Rooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Is this for the most recent snapshot or ms2? The Contrib is for 2.2 MS2. I dont know where to cange the line in MS1, but try to find a line similar to: ... Released under the GNU General Public License */ require('includes/application_top.php'); // needs to be included earlier to set the success message in the messageStack require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT); $process = false; if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['action'] == 'process')); { $process = true; if (ACCOUNT_GENDER == 'true') { if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['gender'])) { $gender = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['gender']); } else { $gender = false; } } $firstname = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstname']); $lastname = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['lastname']); ... The line you are searching for is the line where the processing of the form begins. >> if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['action']) ... If you dont find this and dont want to update to MS2 mail me youre create_account.php and i try to find out how to change it in MS1 Bansai!

Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Bonsai Something strange is happening. when it comes to create account page,, it will not work,, it keeps looping back,, now,, after the page loads then if u click refresh and then put in the data and random number to match,, it will work,, but if u go straight to the create account,,, then it keeps looping back. it seems that,, it does not reset each time unless u refresh the page any ideals?

Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hi Qwiz, that seems to be a caching problem. Maybe the Browser don't load the page again - it only loads the page from the cache ... Verify the lines: <?PHP // BOF // Contrib: Human confirmation V 1.0 if (!tep_session_is_registered('noautamationcode')) tep_session_register('noautamationcode'); include('includes/human_confirmation.php'); tep_session_close('noautamationcode'); // EOF // Contrib: Human confirmation V 1.0 ?> Do you use cookies or SessionID? If you use "Spider-friendly" pages and there is no SessionID in the URL than it can happen that the Browser don't get the real page. Since i use SessionVARS the Variables are only set at the end of a Session (at "tep_session_close") and if the page doesnt reload ... Bansai!

Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Bansai There is no session id in the url,, just the straight url's,,, just done a straight install ... and yes,, that part of the code is in there,,, it does apear its a cache problem,, if i close the browser and reopen it works great,,, the concern there is if someone opens the page,, and clicks out of it for some reason,,, then comes back,, they wont be able to create the account unless they close it or refresh the page,, any thoughts around this? Thanks in advance Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Hmmm ... i dont have that problem. Caching on or off - it works. :?: Try to change the HTML-<head>-Section in create_account.php from: <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> to: <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> That should disable the Browsercache for that page. :arrow: Anyone else with that problem :?: I need some feedback :!: Bansai!

Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Bansai I have added the line <meta http-equiv="expires" content="0"> and that has not helped, It apears that when first open the browser,, gointo create account,, it works,,, if u log out,, and create another account,,, it shows the same graphic numbers as the first account confirm numbers,, which,, is not correct,, so it is keeping that graphic in the cache,,, if u close the browser,, or click refresh,, then it changes and works,,, I am using current update of IE,, and this is the only thing i seem to find any problem with,,, still thinking,,, and thanks for trying. seems strange that i am the only one having this problem,, so it may be on my end,,, thoughts,, anyone?

Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Qwiz, there is one more chance to see whats happen: Go to the page and at the same time look at the image directory with FTP. If you first create a account look at the server what image was created - if you create a second account (and the image looks like the same) see whats happen on the server. If in the Serverdirectory is still the same image then you are in trouble. Then the caching problem is on the serverside - that cant be solved. On the other hand: if on the server is a different image than it was showing the problem is on youre side ... Bansai!

Guest Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 Bansai No,, server side image changes,,, but browser side does not,, unless u refresh or close/reopen the browser,,, brain picker,, huh :twisted: Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansai Posted August 25, 2003 Author Share Posted August 25, 2003 Calm down :lol: I'm working on a version with random filenames for the image. That should solve any caching problems ...
