matriphe! KeyCode

September 19th, 2006 - Wordpress - Give Comments

A lot of plugins provide spam-controlling system using CAPTCHA. It used OCR system to avoid the spambots make comments. The system used image to display the words so only human can read the words and fill the form using the words provided in the image. Of course it need image processing library like GD Graphics Library or ImageMagick.

But how about the users who don’t have image-processing library installed on their server to generate those image words? And how about the people who turn off the image loading option on their browser or using text-based browser, like Lynx, reads those words?

Introducing matriphe! KeyCode which provide a simple plain text as a keycode. The main idea was helping users who don’t have any image-processing library installed on their server. It is also usefull for people who disable the image loading capability on their browsers or using text-based browsers.

Based on my opinion, a random machine generated keycode was annoying. I prefer human-friendly words as keycode to random machine generated words. It’s easy to write hello rather than h3ll0, right? So do this plugin. This plugin use the name of animal in Indonesian language as keywords. But don’t worry, you can also specify your own words as keycode from the admin panel to suit with your language.

This plugin was based on Comment Keycode made by Elzan Yahya. Thank you to Monika Windriya Satyajati who requested this plugin. :)

Requirement

I used WordPress version 2.0.4 to test this plugin, and I hope another WordPress version 2.0 above should suffice. Of course some basic knowledege of PHP and WP template editing are also required.
