It would be great if Security images were included into CB. They can form part in the registration process, Login-Module, Forum Posts, comments, contact information, etc.

The project is located at:
developer.joomla.org/sf/sfmain/do/viewProject/projects.com_securityimages

Maybe there could be a cooperation with the developer of this component.

Also have a look at:

yes, this would be definetly an added value to CB

This feature can relatively easily be integrated using our strong plugin API..

Any chance you can explain how or point to any direction to add SecurityImages 2.0.0 to CB?

i second the motion,

can you point us in the right direction for using this mysterious API to integrate this wonderful component?

i'm trying to figure out from other plugins how this API actually works so that i can integrate security images into the comprofiler registration.

if everything else fails i'm just gonna hack into the comprofiler.html.php files, but i'd prefer to create a solution that others can easily adopt.

You need to do two things. First, you take the code that produces the image and the corresponding cipher or key and put that code inside funtion showregistration (see the plugin apu docs)

Then you take function onbeforeuserregistration and put the code that checks the image there. If the image does not match to the userinput, you return error and the user is not created.

If you know the security images code this should be mostly copy-pasteing.

Another option is to call securityimages functions from the plugin.
