SecurityImages BETA will be available in no more than 2 days... Note that SecurityImages is still WAY to intrusive toward Joomla! as core file has to be changed in order to use Captcha. Lets take the contact section of Joomla! as an example. - Download the patch HERE (soon available as a ready to use patch) and overwrite file on your server OR
- Do it on your own, this is more for 3rd party developer, or people wanting to understand the internal of Joomla! or SecurityImages

It is always recommended to use a switch in all your component to activate deactivate SecurityImages per components through the administrator control panel. This is done by adding to administrator/components/com_contact/contact_items.xml the following code:
<param name="useSecurityImages" type="radio" default="1" label="Use SecurityImage Captcha" description="Enable Captcha verification">
<option value="0">No</option>
<option value="1">Yes</option>
</param> Joomla will read this xml file on the fly and build the graphical user interface for the contact settings. 
Since Joomla! 1.5 now use a Model View Controller paradigm, we have to alter the controller, and add a new Task displaySecurityImagesCaptcha()in components/com_contact/controller.php:
function displaySecurityImagesCaptcha() {
global $mainframe;
//Per contact you can define if the user has to resolve the capctha
$contactId = JRequest::getVar('contact_id', 0, '', 'int');
// load the contact details
$model = &$this->getModel('contact');
$qOptions['id'] = $contactId;
$contact = $model->getContact( $qOptions );
$params = new JParameter( $contact->params );
if ($params->get('useSecurityImages')) {
$check = null;
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onSecurityImagesDisplay', array($check));
if (!$check) {
echo "<br/>Erreur affichage du Captcha<br/>";
}
}
}
As you can see, the event "onSecurityImagesDisplay" is triggered on a per contact name basis. That mean that some contact can have a Captcha while other have not.
The next step is to add the task checkSecurityImagesCaptcha() checking the captcha in the components/com_contact/controller.php
function checkSecurityImagesCaptcha() {
global $mainframe;
$contactId = JRequest::getVar('id', 0, '', 'int');
// load the contact details
$model = &$this->getModel('contact');
$qOptions['id'] = $contactId;
$contact = $model->getContact( $qOptions );
$params = new JParameter( $contact->params );
//check if that user has a capctha
if (!$params->get('useSecurityImages')) {
return true;
}
$return = false;
$securityImagesJoomlaContactUserTry = JRequest::getVar('securityImagesJoomlaContactUserTry', false, '', 'CMD');
$mainframe->triggerEvent('onSecurityImagesCheck', array($securityImagesJoomlaContactUserTry &$return));
return $return;
}
One more step is to alter the original submit() method of the controller in components/com_contact/controller.php global $mainframe;
if (!$this->checkSecurityImagesCaptcha()) {
JError::raiseWarning("999","Invalid Captcha Code");
$this->display();
return false;
}
And finally altering the view /com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php
to display the Captcha field
<?php if ($this->params->get('useSecurityImages')) { ?>
<img src="/index.php?option=com_contact&task=displaySecurityImagesCaptcha&contact_id=<?php echo $this->contact->id; ?>">
<br />
<input type="text" name="securityImagesJoomlaContactUserTry" />
<br />
<?php } ?> As you see a lot of thing have been done, and I am still testing and improving the code.Related Posts

This version should improve installations on some host, where the plugin securityimages.php did not always install properly. The reason behind is that I did add falsely an additional file index.html in plugin.zip. This may lead to permissions issues during installation. SecurityImages 5.1.2 do not contains any other changes, so If you’re happil
