Custom design on captcha

Unfortunately, to avoid spam, Shoporama needs to introduce captcha on some selected pages. We already have one built in, which we believe is a good compromise between usability and spam filtering. But if you want to design your own, you are welcome to do so.

We already have a captcha.html in Alaska that can be freely downloaded and used as a starting point.

Otherwise, the recipe for your own captcha is as follows:

Create a captcha.html in your theme with the minimum content below:

<form action="" method="post">

<{$form}>

<{if $error}>>

Error in the code, try again.

<{/if}>

<img src="<{$imgstr}>">

<input type="text" name="c">

<input type="submit" value="Ok">

</form>

In the above, you need to be aware of the following:

1. The form must be with method="post", and action must be empty or to current url.

2. $form must be included.

3. $error is used to indicate if there was an error in what was entered.

4. The field where the captcha is written in must have name="c".

5. The captcha (image) is in $imgstr.
