Overview
modcaptcha plugin
| Excerpt |
|---|
modCaptcha is a FarCry plugin that adds a formtool field using the LylaCaptcha |
component for captcha validation. The formtool is attached to a boolean property in your content type. |
| Tip |
|---|
modCaptacha was written by Geoff Bowers, Daemon for personal use. The code is released under Apache License 2.0. modCaptcha requires a minimum of FarCry Core 4.04 |

Download
You may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP:
svn checkout http://modcaptcha.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ modcaptcha
Installation
Copy all the modCaptcha plugin files to the plugin directory:
| Code Block |
|---|
./farcry/plugins/modcaptha/* |
Add modCaptcha to your plugin list in the farcryinit tag of your project's Application.cfm:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
<farcry:farcryInit
name="daemon"
dbType="mssql"
plugins="farcrycms,modCaptcha,googleMaps" />
|
You will also need to add a web virtual pointing to the plugin webroot called /modcaptcha:
| Code Block |
|---|
./plugins/modcaptcha/www --> /modcaptcha |
(Alternatively you can copy the files in ./plugins/modcaptcha/www to a subdirectory called ./modcaptcha within the webroot of your project.)
Then simply reinitialise your application to make the formtool available.
How do I implement the captcha?
The formtool is used just the same as any of the formtools you may be familiar with in v4.0 – just create a boolean property and set the fttype="lylacaptcha". The captcha should be automatically created and managed.
Review the following sample code from the Daemonite blog
