Hi,

just stumbled upon altcha and your extension, thx! Is it possible to integrate this with a selhosted altcha server?

I don't see an option to specify a challengeUrl and an ApiKey. Would be great to have this option.

Cheers & thx

Hi @HubbaBob

Thank you for your interest in our extension!

Currently, our extension is designed to work with a service class in TYPO3 as the backend service, which means there is no need for a self-hosted server. Therefore, we do not provide an option to specify a challengeUrl and an ApiKey for an external server.

If you have specific needs or a use case that requires a self-hosted server, we would love to hear more about it. Your feedback is valuable and can help us improve our extension and consider additional features in future updates.

Best regards

Thx @bbysaeth ,

it's great that is works 'self-contained' in TYPO3, however some use cases come to mind which would benefit from external altcha servers:

If you have multiple web-facing content served by different technologies ( CMS, SPA etc ), I think these would benefit from a central captcha server.
The option to use altcha.org as captcha service, maybe even utilize the optional spam detection offered.

Cheers B.

@HubbaBob We will try to implement this feature in an upcoming release of this extension.
