=== Plugin Name === Plugin Name: Checkbox Captcha Description: This small plugin adds a checked checkbox to the comment form, disabling the submit button. It is less intrussive than an actual captcha and better protects against spam. Version: 1.0 Stable tag: 1.0 Author: Andrei Sangeorzan Author URI: http://huzze.net/ License: GPL2 License URI: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html Captcha made right! == Description == This is a tiny and simple plugin that helps fight spam on your site. All it does is add a checkbox in the comment form. When checked, the submit button is disabled. It's less intrusive than a text based captcha. I strongly recommend using it with Akismet. Nothing replaces that, really. But Akismet can still create a bit of database usage, when confronted with a lot of spam. This plugin intends to help Akismet by giving it less to do. The main idea is not mine. I found a similar feature in Contact Form 7, so a bit of credit goes there. During testing this plugin seemed to work better than text-based captchas. For reference without any captcha I had around 1000 spam comments per hour, with reCAPTCHA around 200, but with this method there are only about 2-3 spam comments per hour. == Installation == Just install and activate. Configure if necessary. == Screenshots == 1. The settings page 2. This is how the plugin looks == Changelog == = 1.0 = - Bumping version number, since no bugs or problems were discovered during testing. TBD: use vanilla JS instead of jQuery for the actual code. = 0.6 = - Resolved a small problem with the settings submit button. The old button had a bug where it would delete the two fields, elaving them blank. Weird, right? - Using jQuery.noConflict to avoid messing stuff up. = 0.5.2.1 = - Tiny aesthetic changes for the settings page. = 0.5.2 = - Added confirmation message upon saving the settings = 0.5.1 = - another try at making the plugin properly load jquery. = 0.5 = - Resolved a few bugs with instalation and activation. - jQuery, needed for the plugin to work, should now be included by the plugin, if not included by wordpress previously. = 0.1-beta = - initial release
