Ajax Joomla Registration with Captcha

As you may have noticed recently, we have been busy in between projects, with a complete redesign of our own site. One of the major headaches we exprienced was with preventing Spam registrations, something that every site owner is concerned about. The previous Herdboy site made use of a few Core hacks to integrate an average CAPTCHA sytem into the registration process. This was fine for our purposes, but not a quick and effficient solution if you are pumping out Joomla sites as quick and often as we do, as well as not being the efficient solution.

I recently came across  Joomla AJAX registration now with CAPTCHA after doing a lot of research and purchased and installed it on this site. I noticed that there were some conflicts with the template we used on the site that caused this Captcha script not to work as it should and before I could look at this further, I received an email from the developer Emir, after he had visited the site on his own initiative to see how his product was functioning, informing me his product was not functioning correctly and that it was because of template overides we have built into our template. 

Emir also provided an updated version of the script to overcome this conflict which is working flawlessly. Check it out live Here

I was impressed by the following

• The impressive proactive support from the developer,
• The script supports a native Captcha as well as reCAPTCHA: Stop Spam
• There is no need to hack core files
• A simple regular Joomla install/uninstall process
• AJAX Register will check all required fields as you type presenting error messages and asynchronously checking for username and email availability without page refresh.
• The quickest, most efficient and valid AJAX Registration out there.
• Only costs 7 € (Euro)
• A most effective Spam prevention registration system.
