reCAPTCHA anti-spam for petition.php

[Danodemano]

My first released module to DragonPrime (though I have written quite a few).  The concept is fairly simple, it uses reCAPTCHA to all but eliminate SPAM from your petitions.  You will have to register (free) at http://www.google.com/recaptcha/whyrecaptcha to get your public and private keys.  The settings should be fairly straightforward.  Please let me know if you have questions/comments or find any bugs!

Thanks for sharing the module with us.

Please note, however, that the only license under which the module can be released is the CCL license.  I noticed in your file notes that you state you're releasing it under the GNU license.

Oops, I don't know what I was smoking there.  I updated the file in the OP, sorry about that.

Hi, and thanks for sharing! I already thought about adding reCAPTCHA, but then decided it wasn't worth the hassle and went with a normal blocker instead (that also features the "hidden" fields). Just a few things:

Code:

$info = array(
"name"=>"Spam blocker - petition.php",
"version"=>"1.0",
"author"=>"Eric Stevens",
"category"=>"Administrative",
"download"=>"core_module",
"settings"=>array(
'hidden_reqname'=>"Name of hidden field which must be populated,|".md5(getmicrotime(true).e_rand()),
'hidden_reqvalue'=>"Value of hidden field which must be populated,|".md5(getmicrotime(true).e_rand()),
'hidden_noname'=>"Name of hidden field which must NOT be populated,|".md5(getmicrotime(true).e_rand()),
'hidden_novalue'=>"Value of hidden field which must NOT be populated,|".md5(getmicrotime(true).e_rand()),
'spambottext'=>'Text to be displayed for potential spam bots:,textarea|'.$message,
)
);

I'm pretty sure you're not MightyE, and your module's also not a core module Also, it's probably not necessary to call getmicrotime(), e_rand() and md5() five times for every time the module is queried - maybe add them once in the install function.

Code:

rawoutput("<p style='display: none;'><b>Please note, do not change these fields</b>, they are an anti-spam measure.  " .
"Most users will not see them; if you are seeing them though, then you're using a browser that doesn't recognize " .
"the attributes we use to hide them.  That's ok, just don't change their values!<br>" .
$input1 .
$input2 .
"</p>");

Maybe make it translation ready? Also, I can't seem to find where you actually insert the reCAPTCHA part, but maybe I missed that.

GOOD GOD I REALLY AM SMOKING SOMETHING!  I grabbed the wrong module from my modules directory.  I'm so sorry about that.  I replaced the file in the OP with the correct one this time, I think.  :/
