Hi,
It has been a month now that I try to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.5 Everything is OK now, except the captcha system.
The authimage code is pretty simple:
function checkAICode($code) { global $sess_key_name;
require_once("extensions/authimage-inc/class.verificator.php"); $veri = new VeriFicator($code); $verified = $veri->verified();
$return = ($verified == 1) ? 1 : 0; if(!isset($_SESSION[$sess_key_name])) { $return = 0; } else { unset($_SESSION[$sess_key_name]);
}
return $return; }
But in EditPage.php, whatever the call to checkAICode doesn't work: if ( checkAICode($_POST['code']) )
or using the request: $this->authImageCode = $request->getVal( 'code' ); //importFormData if ( checkAICode($this->authImageCode) )
Quite a few people have asked me by mail how to do this, which means that some mediawiki need this to prevent from spamming.
*The code for the highest mediawiki version was developped by miEro (and works for: MediaWiki: 1.4.5 PHP: 4.3.10-16 (apache2handler) MySQL: 4.1.11-Debian_4sarge2-log) http://wiki.matfyz.cz/wiki/MediaWiki:Tuning
*I've let my draft of instructions for mediawiki 1.5 at: http://www.fxparlant.net/Captcha15
*My code for the mediawiki 1.3 can be found at: http://www.fxparlant.net/Category:Mediawiki#Captcha (works for: MediaWiki: 1.3.9 PHP: 4.4.0 (cgi) MySQL (http://www.mysql.com/): 4.0.26)
I hope a mediawiki nerds will tell me/us what has been changed in 1.5 and explain how to make this spam protection work with current and future versions.
Thanks for your help François
