Patch 4015_01: User Authentication with Image Verification


Modified on 2006-06-15

This patch featuring the random text image verification to make sure that the one who completes your form is human, and it secures your forms being spammed by an automatic system.

Requirements:

  1. To use the image verification feature, you will need GD Graphics Library with FreeType Support installed to your PHP INI. To see if you have GD installed on your server, open http://your-domain/oneadmin/phpinfo with your web browser, and find 'GD' and 'Free Type Support'. You may want to make a request to your server admin to enable the GD with FreeType for you, if required.
  2. This patch is compatible with the One Admin 4.0.15 (latest version), if you wish to use this feature, you may need to upgrade your One Admin to the 4.0.15 version. For upgrade pack and upgrade guidelines, please refer to our upgrade centre, at http://www.comdevweb.com/upgrade.php.

How to apply the patch:

  1. Make a back up of your current installation files.
  2. Download the patch, patch4015_01.zip from the attachment below. Extract it to your hard drive.
  3. Browse into the 'common' directory. Upload all the folders, and files to the existing 'oneadmin/common' directory on your web server, replace the old folders/files.
  4. Browse into each [module]* directory, and upload all the folders/files to your existing oneadmin/[module]* directory on your web server, replacing the old folders/files.

    * [module] refers to 'blogger', 'calendar', 'contactform', 'ecommerce', 'forum', and etc.

  5. Once done, log on to your One Admin panel, go to the Preference page of every module, and insert a full URL of the web page, of where you integrate the module to.

    Also, check the 'Enable Image Text Verification' box to activate the image verification system. Save the changes.
  6. For those modules that use random image verification, you need to alter the integration code to call the config.php file for your web page like this:

    <? include_once("document_path_to_oneadmin/config.php");
          include_once("document_path_to_oneadmin/common/session.php");
    ?>

    * Note: Insert this line to the topmost line ( line 1) of your web page file.

    These modules are Forum, Misc Tools, Web Blogger, Contact Form, eCommerce, Guestbook, Customer Helpdesk, Links Directory, Newsletter and Photo Gallery.
