Re: Spam management for forms handling
Actually the more sophisticated Spam programs do recognize Captcha. http://www.gscraper.com/ Gscraper supports Death by Captcha. In all honesty, despite the fact that I have a DBC account I am kind of scared to turn on captcha solving. My fear is that I'll deplete my DBC balance in no time due to the high speed that Gscraper runs. That said, my rate of success without having captcha solving activated is more than acceptable.

I tend to agree. The Honey Pot field, while simple, has actually been very effective.

Personnaly, I consider such methods that require the visitor to do something quite unfriendly, especially for blind people, even insulting. It is much easier and transparent to use Javascript to add some value in some hidden field. I've never seen any spamer horsing around with Javascript. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358389 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm

Re: Spam management for forms handling
>Hello Rob and everyone, > >Image captchas are undetectable by screen reading packages such as those >used by the blind and lock out legitimate visitors. Very true, that's why from a 508 or WAI perspective Captchas cannot be made accessible. One alternative would be to create a random number, say between 0 and 9, then add 20 to it and store the result in a session variable. Then on your form page you have something like: What is [random value from earlier] plus twenty: ___ Then on the page that's receiving the form submission check the submitted value of the above field with the value in the session scope. If they're the same then the chances are you're dealing with a person. Otherwise most likely spam. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358386 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: (ot) barcodes and mobile sites
The barcode is an image that evaluates to a string when read so you could: 1) store the string in the database and generate the barcode image on the fly 2) generate the barcode image, store it on the file system and store the path in the database 3) generate the barcode image and store it in a BLOB Dave -Original Message- From: Matthew Allen [mailto:a.matthe...@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 7:07 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: (ot) barcodes and mobile sites Hi Dave and all, Tried posting this earlier, not sure it has gone through, here I go again: Excuse the dumb question, I fully understand how the QR code and reader works, I've built a number of QR solutions, where I use it to direct users to PDFs and videos resources, activities per file are stored in the database, as you can capture url values. I've never used barcode before, how does it work as far as storing info into a database?
