Guestbook back online!
After closing down the guestbook (and with that the ability to comment my blog posts) yesterday, it's back alive now!
Thanks to Sascha Falger that pointed me into the right direction. I didn't know, that ve_guestbook supports Captchas from sr_freecap by default.
After playing around with those extensions I got it to run without big problems. Here are the configuration options I changed:
plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1.templateFile = fileadmin/template/ve_guestbook.tmpl
plugin.tx_srfreecap_pi1.morphFactor = 0.5
plugin.tx_srfreecap_pi1.backgroundMorph = 2
The first line is needed as I copied the ve_guestbook template from the timtab_theme_spring directory. If you use the original guestbook template that comes with ve_guestbook, you won't need this line.
Stanislas Rolland writes in the documentation of sr_freecap, that the morphFactor should not be set to a value larger than 1 as the letters wouldn't bee readable then. 1 is the default value. In my opinion a value between 0.5 and 1 should be ok. Then it's something between "absolutely easy to read" and "near at the border to unreadable"...
Now as the commenting feature is back, I hope there are many many comments :-) And of course I hope that the spam problem is solved with this...
