Qickrate without captcha

[skidpics]

how can you allow quick rating to work without having to enter the captcha code for comments? Those 2 should be seperated,

I would love rating and comments to work for unregistered users, but they cannot quickrate because they have no idea nor the time to enter a captcha code for this - which is why it is called 'quick rate'..

If captcha is turned on, which is needed for spam bots, then apparently, the quick rate should be turned off for users who require the captcha in the beginning, which are the unregistered users. correct?

it is called a quick rate but yes guests need to do captcha

You could add captcha up to the quickrate so they see it

Try in showphoto add where noted in bold

getting: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/vande11/public_html/skidpics/templates/showphoto.tmpl on line 232

Let's see if I have the same code:

if ( $newid > 0 ) {
$comq .= <<<PPPRINT
<tr>
<td align="left" class="{$Style['menubar']}" colspan="2">
Image Verification (please enter the code on the left in the box on the right)
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="center"><img src="http://www.photopost.com/forum/photopost-pro-bug-reports/{$Globals['maindir']}/cap.php?c=$newid" border="0" alt="*" /></td>
<td class="{$Style['tddetails']}" align="left">
<input type="text" name="rpass" size="10" />
<input type="hidden" name="cap" value="$newid" />
</td>
</tr>
PPPRINT;
}


PPPRINT;
}

Don't get me wrong, if a person wants to rate AND leave a comment, Captcha is understandable, but if a person want to QUICK Rate, I see the captcha code senseless, since it defeats the QUICK part

[Chuck S]

You dont have the right code.

You would add the code in bold in the middle of the spot I noted above. You seem to have the second print and bracket from the quickrate in there as well

[skidpics]

okay, with the coded pasted, and the extra
Print:
}
taken out, even though it is shown below your bold code posting ;-) which made me assume to leave it in?...

I get no quickrate or captcha, but rather if ( 17350 > 0 ) { showing below the thumbs - which in turn changes number as you view diff pics - 17350, 17351, etc...

[Chuck S]

well if it doesnt work thats fine but the quickrate already displayed on that page and guests need to enter it to rate or comment.

[Chuck S]

This is what the block should look like

Content visible to verified customers only.

[skidpics]

Got that part exactly, and it shows no code - just * : and a form box..

[Chuck S]

Have you removed the captcha code from the quick comments box. See it can only appear once on that page so it goes back to my original comment your guest needs to fill out the captcha box to rate the photo. So its all a matter of where the captcha displays on the page

[skidpics]

well, that kinda sucks. Why would I have a person enter a comment and have to scroll back to the top to enter the captcha code underneath the quick rating.

I put in a suggestion to get this revamped for no captcha on quick ratings.. but captcha for form comments only..


Okay, how about this.. since this issue is not going to work correctly ( or conveniently) - quick ratings for registered users only, other than that, it never shows...

[Chuck S]

well the rating and comment are the same they are stored in the same table in the database. thats why they are the same.

[skidpics]

and there is no way to ask bypass the captcha if you are entering a quick rating?

[Chuck S]

No sorry there is not because a rating is a comment as noted.

[skidpics]

I never tried the voting part yes, and I love it - can Quickrate not be seperated just like the voting script?

[Chuck S]

Thats a totally different script sorry thats like comparing an apple to an orange. Besides guests cant vote at all.
