Hi,

is there a way to customize the captcha layout? I mean the font, the picture generated etc.

Regards, Thomas

I would liek to know too. cause the font is a pain to read. I find it really hard to figure out whether its a letter of a number.

Hehe, indeed the letters and numbers aren't sometimes very readable by a
regular human!

You can customize the fonts by editing the serendipity_event_spamblock.php file. In line 552 you can see this:

Code: Select all

$fontfiles = array('Vera.ttf', 'VeraSe.ttf', 'chumbly.ttf', '36daysago.ttf');

You can replace that with your fonts, and you need to put the .ttf files into the spamblock directory.

Changing the created picture is also only possible in PHP scope.
