Gregwar's CaptchaBundle

The GregwarCaptchaBundle adds support for a "captcha" form type for the Symfony2 form component.

Important note: the master of this repository is containing current development in order to work with Symfony 2.1. If you are using Symfony 2.0 please checkout the 2.0 branch.

Installation

Step 1: Download the GregwarCaptchaBundle

Ultimately, the GregwarCaptchaBundle files should be downloaded to the 'vendor/bundles/Gregwar/CaptchaBundle' directory.

You can accomplish this several ways, depending on your personal preference. The first method is the standard Symfony2 method.

Using the vendors script

Add the following lines to your deps file:

    [GregwarCaptchaBundle]
        git=http://github.com/Gregwar/CaptchaBundle.git
        target=/bundles/Gregwar/CaptchaBundle
        version=origin/2.0 <- add this if you are using Symfony 2.0

Now, run the vendors script to download the bundle:

$ php bin/vendors install

Using submodules

If you prefer instead to use git submodules, then run the following:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/Gregwar/CaptchaBundle.git vendor/bundles/Gregwar/CaptchaBundle
$ git submodule update --init

Using Composer

Add the following to the "require" section of your composer.json file:

    "gregwar/captcha-bundle": "dev-master"

And update your dependencies

Step 2: Configure the Autoloader

If you use composer, you can skip this step.

Now you will need to add the Gregwar namespace to your autoloader:

<?php
// app/autoload.php

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
    'Gregwar' => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

Step 3: Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/appKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Gregwar\CaptchaBundle\GregwarCaptchaBundle(),
    );
}

Configuration

Add the following configuration to your app/config/config.yml:

gregwar_captcha: ~

Usage

You can use the "captcha" type in your forms this way:

<?php
    // ...
    $builder->add('captcha', 'captcha'); // That's all !
    // ...

Note that the generated image will, by default, be embedded in the HTML document to avoid dealing with route and subrequests.

Options

You can define the following configuration options globally:

image_folder: name of folder for captcha images relative to public web folder in case as_file is set to true (default="captcha")
web_path: absolute path to public web folder (default="%kernel.root_dir%/../web")
gc_freq: frequency of garbage collection in fractions of 1 (default=100)
expiration: maximum lifetime of captcha image files in minutes (default=60)
url: the url to use when as_url is set to true (default=/generate-captcha)

You can define the following configuration options globally or on the CaptchaType itself:

width: the width of the captcha image (default=120)
height: the height of the captcha image (default=40)
length: the length of the captcha (number of chars, default 5)
quality: jpeg quality of captchas (default=15)
charset: the charset used for code generation (default=abcdefhjkmnprstuvwxyz23456789)
font: the font to use (default=Generator/Font/captcha.ttf)
keep_value: the value will be the same until the form is posted, even if the page is refreshed (default=true)
as_file: if set to true an image file will be created instead of embedding to please IE6/7 (default=false)
as_url: if set to true, a URL will be used in the image tag and will handle captcha generation. This can be used in a multiple-server environment and support IE6/7 (default=false)
invalid_message: error message displayed when an non-matching code is submitted (default="Bad code value")
bypass_code: code that will always validate the captcha (default=null)

Example :

<?php
    // ...
    $builder->add('captcha', 'captcha', array(
        'width' => 200,
        'height' => 50,
        'length' => 6,
    ));

You can also set these options for your whole application using the gregwar_captcha configuration entry in your config.yml file:

gregwar_captcha:
    width: 200
    height: 50
    length: 6

As URL

To use a URL to generate a captcha image, you must add the bundle's routing configuration to your app/routing.yml file:

gregwar_captcha_routing:
    resource: "@GregwarCaptchaBundle/Resources/config/routing/routing.yml"

Form Theming

The widget support the standard Symfony theming, see the documentation for details on how to accomplish this.

The default rendering is:

{% block captcha_widget %}
{% spaceless %}
    <img src="{{ captcha_code }}" title="captcha" width="{{ captcha_width }}" height="{{ captcha_height }}" />
    {{ form_widget(form) }}
{% endspaceless %}
{% endblock %}

Image creation

If you choose to use image files instead of embedding the widget will execute a garbage collection randomly and delete images that exceed the configured lifetime.
