This XMP Custom Control Bundle contains multiple different human validation and verification methods. Some have been designed for fun, some have been designed for a more mobile or touch-friendly captcha, and then the gold-standard, the Google ReCaptcha options are the most popular and most common to users.
This pack currently contains 4 Captcha versions or options for you to choose. Each one can be installed individually, and contain options for color, setup, messaging, etc.
This Custom Control for XMod Pro Forms gives you the ability to easily integrate Google's reCAPTCHA validation in your XMP DNN Forms!
Benefits & Features: We developed this Custom Control for a project where the client needed to protect their form entry with reCAPTCHA. We're all familiar with standard CAPTCHA and the core DNN available CAPTCHA, but clients often ask for a more attractive version, or versions with more features and for that, we love Google's reCAPTCHA. We use it to prevent comment spam in blogs, protect website registration, polls, feedback and contact forms and more!
- Learn more about reCAPTCHA from Google. Plenty of usage notes and history such as the definition of the term ; ) "CAPTCHAs are used by many websites to prevent abuse from "bots," or automated programs usually written to generate spam. No computer program can read distorted text as well as humans can, so bots cannot navigate sites protected by CAPTCHAs.
The term CAPTCHA (for Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers and Humans Apart) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and John Langford of Carnegie Mellon University."
- In December 2014 Google replaced the original and popular reCAPTCHA (distorted image-text or distorted audio) with a new No CAPTCHA or ReCaptcha Reboot. This new version features a simple checkbox displaying "I am not a robot". Based on average human actions, most humans are presented with this option. If activity such as multiple subissions of the same form occurr, then the NoCaptcha displays a selection of images to choose from and a new challeng. Check out Google's original announcement of the release of this new ReCAPTCHA.
- Keep crawlers, bots, and automated systems from getting through your forms!
- Humans get plenty of options such as refreshing to load another CAPTCHA combination of text, SOUND to play an audio recording of the text and help/info on how to use.
- The Module Kit installer will setup an XMod Pro form example that shows reCAPTCHA in the form and basic style and setup examples.
- Integrates nicely with XMod Pro server-side validation and the alert/validation messages.
- There are two different color styles/themes available from Google by default.
Google reCAPTCHA (original version) Custom Control For XMod Pro Forms
This Custom Control for XMod Pro Forms gives you the ability to easily integrate Google's original reCAPTCHA validation in your XMP DNN Forms!
Benefits & Features: We all love Google's original reCAPTCHA. We still use it to prevent comment spam in blogs, protect website registration, polls, feedback and contact forms and more. We find that even with the new version released and more commonly used, clients sometimes specifically request the "old google captcha" for their site!
- With a simple, expected structure, users still read words and addresses supplied by Google reading/translation and Street View photos. Because of this, the words are standard and "safe" compared to the images that some times can be seen in the new recaptcha which may not be appropriate for a client's site (example conflicts, choosing Steak images on a vegetarian website!)
- Keep crawlers, bots, and automated systems from getting through your forms!
- Humans get plenty of options such as refreshing to load another CAPTCHA combination of text, SOUND to play an audio recording of the text and help/info on how to use.

FUN Captcha Custom Control For XMod Pro Forms
This Custom Control for XMod Pro Forms gives you the ability to easily integrate the FUN Catpcha validation in your XMP DNN Forms!
Benefits & Features: We developed this Custom Control so that we could integrate alternate validation methods within our DNN websites. We're all familliar with the standard CAPTCHA, the core DNN available CAPTCHA, and Google's ReCaptcha, but we had clients ask for something different... something more fun, something unique, or perhaps easier to complete on a mobile phone or touch tablet. We surveyed the many alternatives and picked a few faovrites to include within our XMod Pro Validation Pack.
- FUN Captcha is a fun, drag & drop action for proving that you are human. This is more user-friendly captcha validation on touch devices such as mobile phones, tablets and touch screens. It's presented as more of a game or challenge that you complete and see your score at the end. The challenges involve visual cues that bots do not yet process such as determining the "right way up" for an image and then clicking rotate buttons to rotate the image correctly.
- In addition to confirming that the user is human, because of the display method involved, it also confirms that the user does not have ad-blockers on and will have 100% ad visiblity when logged into your website. So using this control can help you verify and cultivate a High CPM Revenue value.
- FUN Captcha describes themselves on their webiste as, "A next generation CAPTCHA powered by intelligent design that is both secure and high converting. Stop bot abuse and verify humans with image-based games that are easy to solve."
- Keep crawlers, bots, and automated systems from getting through your forms!
- Humans get plenty of options such as refreshing to load another CAPTCHA combination of images for drag and drop by clicking the Reset link to load another image set.
