AUser Manager

AUser Manager is a fantastic component that adds much-needed security to the Joomla! user registration process.  It transparently adds full-featured AJAX Captcha and RBL tests, all without any hacks or modifications to core Joomla! files.

I've attached a slightly modified version of 1.5.10 that has the following "improvements":

  • AUser Manager parameter options to disable the strong password generator, username available AJAX notice & password meter.  They're enabled by default, but it gives the admin the option to make com_auser look more like com_user if they wish.
  • en-US language file that's a bit more native for those of us on this side of the pond.
  • Audio digits and letters taken from Pat Fleet's (the voice of AT&T) freeware IVR prompts for asterisk.  They're easier to understand than the computer-generated mp3s.
  • Minor spelling changes (my obsessive-compulsive nature kicked in on these)

Hope my effort adds to this already great component.  Long live Joomla!
