Posted by Ali Alhaidary <al...@the5stars.org>.

Re: [ACTION REQUIRED] Disabling captcha

Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
please re-read my post

especially this part:
*If 'A'-'Z' is not appropriate for your language, please send me the range
specific to your language*
*NOTE: this should be the range i.e. unicode code for first letter should
be less than code for the second one*
*codes can be checked for ex. here http://www.unicode.org/charts/
<http://www.unicode.org/charts/>*

For Arabic the above mean:
1) go to http://www.unicode.org/charts/
2) choose `Arabic`
3) send me the range for ex:
        start (code 0621)  ء
        end (code 064A)  ي


I don't think 0-9 is a good idea in general
so you can do this change later on for your local installation

Re: [ACTION REQUIRED] Disabling captcha

Posted by Ali Alhaidary <al...@the5stars.org>.
unless 'A-Z' is the same as 'a-z', it will confuse so many users, first, 
they do not use Latin characters, second, 'capital' concept does not 
exist in their alphabets. can it be only numerals '0-9' ?

[ACTION REQUIRED] Disabling captcha

Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
Hello All,

the plan will be:
1) captcha range will be added to this [1] file
2) by default it will be 'A'-'Z'

If 'A'-'Z' is not appropriate for your language, please send me the range
specific to your language
NOTE: this should be the range i.e. unicode code for first letter should be
less than code for the second one
codes can be checked for ex. here http://www.unicode.org/charts/

Thanks in advance

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Robert Savickas <ro...@gmail.com>.
Yes, what I want is that limiting it to only capital letters and informing

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
Well,
the info text is just a label, site admin can re-translate/customize it
(upgrade might be an issue here ...)

Additionally we might add `captchaStartLetter` `captchaEndLetter` to every
language here
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-web/src/main/webapp/languages/languages.xml
with default of 'A'-'Z' for all languages

site admin can change this (upgrade will still be an issue ...)
WDYT?

Re: Disabling captcha?

I just realized that I should offer this clarification for some of our
friends, to avoid any misunderstandings:

"terrific" means "wonderful"

"terrific" does NOT mean "terrible"!

English is a fun language.

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Ali Alhaidary <al...@the5stars.org>.
Hi,

This could be very confusing to many languages, especially to RTL, non 
Latin and languages that do not have capital letters as putting such 
note (Captcha consist of English letters 'A' - 'Z' only) will not be 
vary understandable for them ('A'  -'Z' would seem to them as 'a' - 'z') 
as they do not have the concept of capital letters even if they do have 
the Latin keyboard installed.

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
Would it help if Capital letters will be used instead of small ones?
And maybe there will be text like: Captcha consist of English letters 'A' -
'Z' only ....

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Robert Savickas <ro...@gmail.com>.
Dear Friends,

My users, some of whom use non-Latin alfabets, have no problem with using
Latin letters in the captcha.

My current problem with the captcha, shared by my users is that the
characters are often hard to recognize. Capital I vesus small l.  Or
capital I verus ].  Or m versus n. Or g versus q.  Often, the letters are
sufficiently deformed so as to be difficult not only to Robot, but also to
Robert and other humans to distinguish.  As a result, several captchas are
often needed till a person can get it.

Granted, it is a terrific tool for teaching folks how to have patience,
highly recommended. But sometimes, folks are under the time pressure to
enter the meeting (now, why do they try to connect only in the very last
minute, that's a separate question)...

Thank you.
Robert

Re: Disabling captcha?

Posted by Maxim Solodovnik <so...@gmail.com>.
the bad news: there seems to be no universal way to determine alphabet by
language
the ugly news: there are languages without alphabet ....

start and end character can be manually specified here
https://github.com/apache/openmeetings/blob/master/openmeetings-web/src/main/webapp/languages/languages.xml

Another option might be to made this range _optional_
so 'a' - 'z' will be used if else is not specified ....
Not sure is someone will bother to specify different range ...

but I'm not sure how good is this idea :(((

@Robert what kind of difficulties your user have with the captcha?
