How do I enable CAPTCHA in my .Net shopping cart application?
The Captcha feature in PDshop is enabled in the web.config, you simply add the keys below to the appSettings section of your web.config file:
To enable in the Shop pages:
<add key="shopcaptcha" value="ON" />
To enable in the Admin pages:
<add key="admincaptcha" value="ON" />
For more on this and other features that are enabled this way, see page 25 of the installation guide for more details and additional web.config keys that work with the PDshop shopping cart & admin.
What does captcha mean?
Captcha stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". How it works is... PDshop will display a picture (an image), and you will be asked to type what you see before continuing. The concept is that only a human can do that, so all the automated "bots", spammers, and hacker utilities will not be able to proceed. The goal is prevent unwanted Contact Us form submissions, as well as protect customer & administrator accounts from unauthorized access.
