reCaptcha modification
Started 16 years ago by LKGsr | 6 posts |

I absolutely love the MachForm, its easy to install, easy to use and highly functional. However, the reCaptcha module looks like a thundering elephant in a very well designed form. Is there any way we can get the module to look more like this? http://recaptcha.net/fastcgi/demo/customtheme
I looked at the recCaptcha API and it is just way over my head. Is there any way you can instruct me how to modify the module?
Thanks, Kevin

to modify the captcha theme, check this post:

Ohh, now I'm really going to sound stupid...what is the internal CAPTCHA?
If there is an alternative, I definitely would like to consider it if it looks better.

internal CAPTCHA is a simpler alternative to reCaptcha. However, your server need to have GD extension with FreeType support enabled (most hosting usually have these enabled).
I suppose you can just try it.
Edit your config.php file, search for this line:define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',false);
replace with this:
define('USE_INTERNAL_CAPTCHA',true);
That would display a different kind of CAPTCHA on your form. Here's a screenshot:

But note, the internal captcha is a feature of version 2 of Machform. With version 1 you can only use the ReCaptcha option.
