Almost works - using 1.6 "security question" plugin under 1.4

[P55]

I'm testing the new "security question" plugin (designed for 1.6) on a circa-1.4 era system. After changing the compatibility level to match 1.4*, it very nearly works, with two issues.

The most important one is that during registration, after entering the answer to the security question, it takes an additional click (or other user input) for the answer to be verified. If the user isn't aware of this, their first click on Submit Registration actually verifies the security answer, then Submit registration needs to be clicked again to actually submit.

If there's a simple solution that avoids the double click cleanly that would be great. What I'd like to do for now is move the reCAPTCHA box on the registration form down *under* the security question box (right now it is directly above it). That way I believe when the user enters the reCAPTCHA response it will trigger the security answer verification and only a single click will be needed on Submit Registration. But how do I change the order of two plugins on the registration page?

The other issue with the plugin under 1.4 is that the "manage questions" links just goes to the dashboard and there's no access to the questions. I am getting around this for now by simply changing the questions and answers in the actual plugin code.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

DO you have any plugins on your board for 1.4 that dont have 1.6 vrsions? If so, upgrade to 1.6 and you wont have a problem

Due to local modifications and required security audits, etc., upgrading to 1.6 is not an option at this time.

I wrote this plugin, as I'll be doing with pretty much all my plugins, primarily for 1.6

If theres a huge demand for a 1.4 supported version then I might consider it but apart from that you're pretty much on your own. I can offer advice and pointers but thats pretty much all.

For the issues you're facing:

The placement of the question block can be changed in member_register template. Move {$regq} to where you want it.

As for the issue of the link in admincp, the admincp links were changed in 1.6 if you want to have the 1.4 compatible links then you need to edit the plugin and change the urls from

index.php?module=config-regsecureq

To:

index.php?module=config/regsecureq

Thanks much for that info! This plugin arrived just in the nick of time.

As a workaround for the "double click" issue, I popped in another button just below the text input box that says "Click here after you've answered"... That way if they don't touch anything else on the page before hitting submit the confirmation on the security question will still take place.

Thanks again.
