Introduction |

There are various reasons to prefer web registration instead of |
|
|
11 |
"in-band" account registration over XMPP. For example the lack of |
|
|
12 |
CAPTCHA support in clients and servers. |

mod\_register\_web has Prosody serve a web page where users can sign up |
|
|
18 |
for an account. It implements reCaptcha to prevent automated sign-ups |
|
|
19 |
(from bots, etc.). |

Configuration |
|
|
22 |
------------- |
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
The module is served on Prosody's default HTTP ports at the path |
|
|
25 |
`/register_web`. More details on configuring HTTP modules in Prosody can |
|
|
26 |
be found in our [HTTP documentation](http://prosody.im/doc/http). |
|
|
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
To configure the CAPTCHA you need to supply a 'captcha\_options' option: |
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
captcha_options = { |
|
|
31 |
recaptcha_private_key = "12345"; |
|
|
32 |
recaptcha_public_key = "78901"; |
|
|
33 |
} |
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
The keys for reCaptcha are available in your reCaptcha account, visit |
|
|
36 |
[recaptcha.net](http://recaptcha.net/) for more info. |
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
If no reCaptcha options are set, a simple built in captcha is used. |

Lots. The module is very basic at the moment. In particular I would like |
|
|
52 |
to see: |
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
Customisation (CSS and/or HTML) |
|
|
55 |
|
|
|
56 |
Different CAPTCHA implementation support |
|
|
57 |
|
|
|
58 |
Collection of additional data, such as email address |

The module kept simple! |
