How to enable CAPTCHAs on your Dreamhack
From Dreamwidth Notes
- Open
~/dw/ext/local/etc/config-local.pl
and make sure you have the following code:
# setup recaptcha %RECAPTCHA = ( public_key => $DW::PRIVATE::RECAPTCHA{public_key}, private_key => $DW::PRIVATE::RECAPTCHA{private_key}, ); # setup textcaptcha %TEXTCAPTCHA = ( api_key => $DW::PRIVATE::TEXTCAPTCHA{api_key}, );
- Open
~/dw/ext/local/etc/config-private.pl
and make sure you have the following code within the DW:PRIVATE section:
%RECAPTCHA = ( public_key => "key", private_key => "key", ); %TEXTCAPTCHA = ( api_key => "demo", timeout => 10, );
- Go to textCAPTCHA.com and reCAPTCHA to obtain keys and edit the code to add them. You only need one or the other, not necessarily both.
- The 'demo' key for textcaptcha works for testing purposes.
- Edit CAPTCHA settings as you desire at
~/dw/ext/local/etc/config.pl
. If that file doesn't exist, copy~/dw/ext/config.pl
there.
