We had great response from Joomla community over our First Generation of Captcha System. The basic problem with last version were dependency on Template Overrides and Compatibility with different versions of Joomla Component.
We took problems in first generation system as a challenge to us, and now we are presenting a Next-Generation Robust Captcha System i.e. JoomlaXi Joomla Captcha (codename is XIJC). XIJC not only resolves the problem of previous versions, but also enable an administrator to use captcha, virtually on any page in Joomla. This way you can secure your non-standard pages, without digging into the code.
Q : Will it work with any component or template ?
Yes, This next generation captcha system works with any component and any template across Joomla. Actually when you safeguard any page on your website, we monitor user activity on those pages. If user post any data on those pages, we intercept the request of user, and present him a Captcha Image to fill in. If he decode image correctly, we resume his request, which we intercepted. This way no data loss happens, and it becomes independent of Components and Templates.
Q : Thats great but how I can define which page to protect ?
The product was started as plugin, but now is a full flash component. So it is pretty simple to mention which page you want to protect or which you want to exclude. For this purpose we maintain three lists -
- Black List : The pages you need to protect, should be added here.
- White List : The pages which are not to be protected, should be added here.
- Captcha Manager : This list enable protection on all pages of any component.

Q : Is it a Free Product ?
Yes, XIJC is absolutely free to use (Free means Freedom to use and Free of Cost). We have planned few supplementary functionality to be added in XIJC, These features will be paid features. We will announce once paid features are ready to use. But we promise that the base version will remain free of cost.
Q : Why an alpha version released ?
We were working very hard to complete stable release, but currently we were not able to complete few basic functionalities, so once below mentioned work-in-progress completes, we will release a stable version.
- As if now, XIJC do not support protection of File Uploading pages.
- Look and feel (Css related issues)
- Not tested for all kind of servers and PHP versions
