Audio CAPTCHA module
Development and Programming
I don’t know which other ones, the ones from all the other CAPTCHAs and entries? Seems utterly silly to need an entire playlist simply for one darn mp3 file. I still can’t figure out why it won’t take this URL. The others all have ampersands and =, the only difference in this URL is the addition of a question mark. :(
No, this is just a bogus playlist. It will always contains one title - the URL generated by the module-tag. There is only one playlist, for all captchas, for all entries, for all users.
The only difference with this approach is just that the module-tag is called when Flash loads the playlist. Instead of being called in the main template when you would add the URL to the Flash-<object>.
Still confused? Once you grasp the concept, it all makes sense. Just like EE 😉
Yes, now everyone gets to make fun of me for needing technical support.
Yes, it makes sense. I’ll have to fiddle over the weekend. 😉 Thanks, silenz!
I found a really useful script today, so thought I’d share it!
Soundmanager2: Javascript API which hooks to flash. soundmanager2
To get it working with audio CAPTCHA follow instructions on the developers site then in your contact form add this:
{if captcha}
{captcha}<input type="text" name="captcha" value="" maxlength="20" />
<a href="#" onclick="soundManager.createSound({id:'mySound1',url:'{exp:audio_captcha:mp3link}'});soundManager.play('mySound1')">audio CAPTCHA</a>
{/if}Working example (incidently also using freeform) can be found here: link (contact link)
@Silenz Thanks - good job!
Hi mx3design
Just thought I should let you know, I can’t hear any sound. (Win Xp, Firefox 2.0.0.7)
That’s strange, cleared caches and checked on 3 different systems/platforms all without fault. It seems fine to me. Do you have your volume turned up? {:0)
Hmm, nope, no dice, just tried on a different computer at work. Went to this page :http://enableincornwall.co.uk/disability.php, clicked on the sound icon, but nothing happened. Sound is on. Javascript on. Flash enabled.
WinXp, Firefox 2.0.0.6
ok, thanks for letting me know, I’ll look into it further.
Best wishes, Jay

Thanks. It’s a bit of a mystery. Checked this on 2 systems with IE6 SP2 and can’t reproduce any fault. Anyone got any suggestions?
silenz, how do you stop the audio from being cached?
If I hit the page with two browsers in quick succession (mimicking two users who go the page around the same time), the audio for one of the pages is always different to the captcha.
I am having some trouble getting the audio captcha to work properly. Basically it only plays the first 2 or 3 characters in firefox, and the wrong word in IE. Can anyone help?
