Hi everyone,

On my website, I use Kunena Forum to implement a forum. Kunena Forum uses the existing Joomla's user registration module for registration of forum users. Even though we enabled CAPTCHA for the forum user registration page, we get around 20+ daily new user registrations who are mostly spammers. It seems that these registrations are not from spambots, but real people, otherwise they would not be able to bypass the CAPTCHA. In k2_users table in the database, I can see that many of these come from a certain hostname or IP or have certain patterns in their email address, etc, so it would be simple enough to block them using server-side PHP code or client-side JS code, if I knew how to inject it into Joomla.

Is there some existing Joomla plugin to validate new user registrations (perhaps allowing to add regular expressions for user validation), or is there a way to write such plugin, without editing the core Joomla code?

Thank you!

Stanislav

Hello Fotis,

Thanks for getting back to me about this! Yes, I am certainly interested. Let me know if there are any special conditions for use of this plugin, license fee, etc.

Best regards,
Stanislav

Great! I will certainly be looking forward to this.

Best regards,
Stanislav

I'm very interested in this plugin too.
Thanks

No updates about this great idea?
