That is the beauty of open source, if you want a captcha, program one in or get a module. Personally I would never, ever use one on a clients site. It would reduce the number of people that would make purchases. But everyone has their own ideas or own ways.

yes everyone do have ideas. but should not waste time. if you want money sell it. if u love social service give it free. but even if u want to both give atleast a usable, secure site even with less features. but don't act as if giving great script. I have wasted 3 days of uploadingm, editing etc and finally found . and I don't have any confidence it will stand without even captcha

1. it should have a captcha atleast in registration form

2. nowadays everybody use for login. and open source scripts should have one

3. everywhere public post some thing

whether public use or not u should give the option.

basic captcha should not be some extra feature, but basic feature

gvspnr,

 

As I said above, your feedback is really appreciate. It's with to our amazing Community's feedback that we can improve the software, so don't hesitate to submit your idea to our technical team, that could be an interesting feature to implement. 

 

However, I'll ask you to watch the words you use against Dh42. He's just trying to understand your need. We are on a community forum, and everyone have his own idea of an ecommerce site. Each other's respect is the basis of a good and constructive conversation.

 

Thanks a lot !

I am not abusing dh42. he did asking for country. anyway the issue is prestashop is an opensource  ecommerce site which involves money transactions and many innocent people try to use it in the hope of doing some business without big investment.  it should have minimum security. and I have purchased phpfox and some people do automated registrations even before I login to admin to enable captcha

PrestaShop is not a social networking software. People do not get public profiles that they can put links out to the world with. PHPFox is and does though. People just don't randomly use bots to register at e-commerce sites. Even if they did, what would the point of doing it be? Your payment gateway has the security to protect you from fraudulent transactions, I don't understand why a bot would care to register for an account on a site that has no public facing user created data. I have launched and worked on several hundred PrestaShop sites and none of them have had an issue with bots.

well sir now days people don't hack for immediate gains. they do to prove a point and for some sinister design of threaghtening the world out of its slumber. and one of my friends site using open cart is hacked for no reason.and nowadays the security problems are not country/region specific. hackers and virus work for even innocent testers of hacking knowledge

and it need not be a social networking site. well the problem is more for for ecommerce sites. I think you should read more about internet security issues and make scripts which can withstand atleast basic threats. because new and innocent people don't know much and use them because they are free and oneday drowned in the sea of hackers

If you are worried about security of the site and server, I would not worry. PrestaShop is one of the most secure platforms in the world. Letting people register does not give them special privilege or access to your site, there is no security concern for having people register. It is unfortunate about your friend that used open cart and got hacked, but he was not using PrestaShop. It cannot be hacked this way.

well I am greatfull for your confidence. it will give some hope.  but I don't think it is of any use at  present. if I request they may add in future probably. I am not here to request features. I was here to try it out what is available. and I am disappointed . I have tried many free scripts and almost all scripts some basic functions they keep it as paid addons. probably its a way of marketing. but really irritating to see marketing done in the name of public service. I do understand money is needed for survival even for developers. but do it straight forward

Hi, here is the thing, we can have great ideas or a horrible bug but neither exist in the real world without a feature request or bug report on PrestaShop forge.

 

this is the 'only' way to get a new feature or report a bug, click here to do so.

 

it's only useless discussion if you do not follow advice given.  we are community, much of development is based on community input.

 

topic locked, run it's course.
