Re: [smesa] Membership login to admin backend
Hi Shawn,
Just noticed your post regarding protecting from spambots.
One of the things that I did in addition to the "disabled" field was to add an "approved" field to my section, and then implement the emailOnApproved plugin to automatically send an e-mail to the applicant on approval of their account.
I also wanted to use CAPTCHA validation on my membership signup form and although RE-CAPTCHA was pretty easy to implement, it was a pretty intrusive addition to many web pages.
I discovered another alternative in a program called Captcha Creator.
http://www.captchacreator.com/ I can format the Captcha display to fit my page design and it works like a charm. Their program is not free, and an unlimited use license costs $50.
It's a pretty simple setup, but there were some challenges with CMSB integration that needed to be worked out. (See Post
http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=83615You can find detailed recipes for implementation of both the membership plugin and CAPTCHA in my CMSB Cookbook.
