'Contact Us' - Add "image verification" for registered users, too.

Hello.

For 'Contact Us', to add "image verification" for registered users in addition to the existing 'unregistered users/guests', one method is to do the following:

in "sendmessage.php", search for 'imagecheck'. You'll find this word exists in 2 places.

For each instance, in its associated block of code, modify the following line:

FROM:
====

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['gdversion']) 


TO:
==

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['gdversion']) 


Hope this helps.

(note: this edit added the code here to vb 3.5.0 from the post in vb 3.0.x section)

Hi, I've got a forum running vBulletin v3.0.4 and we've been getting a lot of spam lately. It's been brought to my attention to implement Image Verification into the registration process, but I'm not sure if this code will work with an older version of the software.

Can someone help me? Much appreciated!

I am using 3.5.4.

In sendmessage.php, instead of finding

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['gdversion'])

there is:

	if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND ($vbulletin->options['gdversion'] OR $vbulletin->options['magickpath']))

What should be done differently w/ 3.5.4? Thanks.

Then just change

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND ($vbulletin->options['gdversion'] OR $vbulletin->options['magickpath']))

to

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND ($vbulletin->options['gdversion'] OR $vbulletin->options['magickpath']))

For Versions 3.6.4(not sure whether same is for 3.6.0-3.6.3)
Find this in sendmessage.php

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['regimagetype'])

and change to

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $vbulletin->options['contactustype'] == 2 AND $vbulletin->options['regimagetype'])

can this be modded so that uses with less than X number of post have to use the image block to post?

Installed, but it doesn't show any sign of an image verification when I test it out.

**Nevermind** It works only for guest. Good job, just what I was looking for. I was tired of these damn bots mailing me everyday.
