Preventing Spam Registrations from specific TLD

[JackGoa]

Hi, on one of my sites, we're getting a huge amount of fake registrations (Juser integration). Even with reCaptcha, they still seem to manage to register.

I there some way to prevent say, all registrations with an email address at *.ru? Maybe, they could submit, but the form simply does not save the info and send the notification to the administrator?

Maybe some kind of regex on the email field preventing a successful submission?

I'm not really sure what to do about these buggers anymore. Come to think of it, I managed to stop them before, using reCaptcha, pre-Joomla 3.7. Will investigate.

Just to confirm, as far as I can tell re-Captcha still works, even though, the noCaptcha option does not show up, only the old school version.

No-captcha works fine for me:

Point me at the form.

Hmm...

There's one here: http://cpchildren.org/subscribe

And here: http://cpchildren.org/register

I'm having a dejavu moment that we've looked at this site together before.

 

[cheesegrits]

Well, I meant point me at it when it's trying to use no-captcha.

There is no option to change it?

 

[cheesegrits]

Not sure what you mean. Just select Nocaptcha as the method.

Sorry about about the slowness, I have way too much crap running on my laptop.

[JackGoa]

No problem.

Sorry man, I can't view those screencasts, I don't have Flash on my pc anymore.

I was just looking at the Re/NoCaptcha Options tab and forgot it's also a dropdown option under the Options tab. I changed that Subscribe link now to NoCaptcha and I get the attached screenshot.

It's coming back to me now, you mentioned last time in another thread there is some conflict with that template. I am unable to find the conflict though. All I can think then is to put some kind validation on that email field?

I'm out of the house for the rest of the evening (gig), I'll take a look when I get back. There's no reason it shouldn't work.

Ok thanks. I'll leave it on for the subscribe form for now. I also can't see why it doesn't want to work :/

Enjoy. Chat tomorrow.

For reasons I don't understand, the call that loads the Google api code is completing before the callback script is ready.

Try editing ...

plugins/fabrik_element/captcha/layouts/fabrik-element-captcha-nocaptcha.php

... and remove the word 'async' from the line that loads api.js.

[JackGoa]

Nope. Still same error message. :/

 

[cheesegrits]

OK, try this:

<?php
defined('JPATH_BASE') or die;

$d = $displayData;
?>

<div class ="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="<?php echo $d->site_key; ?>"></div>

<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=<?php echo $d->lang; ?>" async defer></script>

Ok so just to confirm, I replaced everything in that file with your code above, is that right?

The NoCaptcha displays now, but see the attached screenshot for the error I get.

 

[cheesegrits]

Works fine for me (I just subscribed hugh.test@gmail.com).

What browser are you using?

-- hugh

 

[JackGoa]

I'm using Chrome. I tried it twice now. The first time I got that error again, but the second time it went through.

Maybe I was just being too hasty and it hasn't loaded properly yet before I submitted the form.

Thanks Hugh! Will I need to update this all the time or will that code be changed permanently now?

Cool! Thanks so much. Have been stuck with this for months!

What would it take to get that MailChimp api we talked about, a few weeks ago, updated?

Several hours work, maybe half a day. Funded by whoever needs it badly enough to pay for it.
