Ajax Fancy Captcha - Wordpress Plugin

Drag and Drop Captcha Demo

What is it:

Ajax Fancy Captcha is a Wordpress plugin that helps you protect your web pages from bots and spammers. We are introducing you to a new, intuitive way of completing “verify humanity” tasks. In order to do that you are asked to drag and drop specified item into a circle.

Captcha’s security level is medium, with the emphasis on nice looking and user friendly qualities while still offering reasonable protection from unwanted “guests”. Basic design and its elements are easy to change and customize (take a look at file structure for more information).
If you have any ideas, comment or just want to say hello, please do - any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Installation

Upload the Ajax Fancy Captcha plugin to your Wordpress plugin’s directory. Activate it, configure your preferred color and style, enjoy!

How it works:

It calls captcha.php file and gets a random number. Php file just generates simple number and put it in session. When AJAX got that number it creates items based on that number. Lets imagine that we have array of “pencil”, “scissors”, “clock”, “heart”, “note”, so if number 3 is returned it will take “heart” and look for item-heart.png file in /imgs directory.

    Hi Sham,
    because you use template which is not based on default wp theme standards i suggest you to insert css and js links by hand. Go to your template directory and set in head tag following:

    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/latest-jquery/jquery-1.3.1.js’></script>

    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/latest-jquery-ui/jquery.ui.all.js’></script>
    <script type=’text/javascript’ src=’http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/jquery.captcha.js’></script>
    <link href="http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/captcha.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
    var borderColor = "#3A6EA4"; /* border color hex or left it null if you don’t want to change border color*/
    var captchaDir = "http://www.webdesignbeach.com/beachbar/wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/" /* path to captcha files (if you use domain http://www.example.com path should present all subfolders after that, start with "/") */
    var url = captchaDir + "captcha.php" /* this is name of form action */
    var formId = "commentform" /* id of your form */
    var items = Array("pencil", "scissors", "clock", "heart", "note");
    var style = ‘margin-top: 50px; padding: 0px;’;

    $(function() {

    $("p:has(’textarea’)").append(’<div class="ajax-fc-container" style="’ + style + ‘"></div>’);
    $(".ajax-fc-container").captcha(); /* in this line note that ajax-fc-container is a class and we reference it with .(dot), if you want to change class to id, don’t forget to replace the dot with # sign and also to describe it in css file. */

    });
    </script>

    Nice idea. Are you destroying the session when all is done? I find that a problem with a lot of captchas is that once you’ve posted, you can use the same session to post a form over and over. particularly bad for account registration.

    9. 1230
  9. Vladimir Says:

    @David:
    Thanks for you comment, we are planing to do that in next version of captcha …

  10. onelargeprawn Says:

    This plugin didn’t work for me either.

    I’m testing it offline (using XAMPPLITE) and I’ve disabled all other plugins except AFC. All the code Vladimir mentioned is appearing before the tag but I still cannot see the Captcha in the comments area.

    Is there some code I am suppose to add to comments.php so that the Captcha will show up?

    Great wp-plugin :-)
    @vlad: After changing the folder names and the characters for the inverted commas everything works fine. thx!

    According to the gpl-license is it allowed to translate the instructions? I would be delighted to help with the translation into DE, BG, RU.

    Doesn’t work for me. I want this on my registration page and have pasted the code above. All the links work, but the plugin doesn’t show up. On WP 2.7.1. Can you help?

    A little hack to avoid js number prediction, wishing you enjoy it:

    Instead to return the number, return a phrase from php that allow user to understand which image he need to drag&drop. Php must have a structured array with: (0 => img, array(phrases),1 => img,array(phrases),ecc…). Extract a random key number, and save it into a session. Then return a random phrases from the value of the key extracted before.
    Also js can retrieve from php an array with the phrase, the correct image and the other tot image that the user will see (using json)
    Js only work for get the php result, build the html, drag&drop interaction and send result to php.
    More phrases for a single image is better.
    Robot can predictable the result only if the know all the phrases and the image associated with them.
    Remember, “Predictable is inversely proportional to Randomness.”

    Sorry for bad english ; )

    really cool captcha. I’m holding my breath until all the issues mentioned above are settled in your promised next version.

    18. 1282
  18. Rakshit Says:

    I tried the script, but see a weird behavior. I get the images in the array.. though the image that should be dragged does not appear. Instead the default image of item-none(the book) appears. Can you please help?The script is surely impressive and a visual treat.

    nobody is giving solution. everybody is busy in saying nice scrpit , good idea …etc..

  19. Kim H Says:

    How would I be able to insert this in a custom form? For example, my theme is pages made with custom templates, but I want to create a contact form with this on the bottom. How would I designate it to do that? Would I use this one or the non-plugin-version? I rather like this Captcha, and have been looking into solutions for inserting one into a custom contact form.

    The other flaw I noticed while using the captcha just now is if you accidentally release the dragged picture and it falls on the edge of the circle it won’t work, and even if you try to correct it, it will not work.

    Naww this is SO cute :D
    Thank you :)

  24. Dukessa Says:

    For all the people having issues (captcha not showing in page and admin panel):

    - Deactivate Plugin
    - Go to your plugins folder, rename the ajax-fancy-captcha folder to AjaxFancyCaptcha
    - Activate plugin again

    If you can see it now… well.. good!
    If not you need one more step:
    - Deactivate plugin again
    - Take the file afc.php from the plugin folder, from line 21 to 27 you will see some links, take off the “/” from before “wp-content/plugins/AjaxFancyCaptcha/…”, for every link.
    - Activate plugin again

    :)

    If you are not getting the correct (draggable) image make sure you have <?php instead of <? in captcha.php for PHP5.

  36. Spunky Jones Says:

    This plugin works very well to stop all of the generic spam comments I was getting on my blog.
    However, I do have a slight problem that I can’t reply to comments using the WP admin panel. I get a message to move the object into the circle.

    I have to open the post page to replay and then move an object into the circle.

    hi, it seems the left most image would always cause error, error means the captcha think it is a wrong answer even it is right, please correct this, thanks
