Captcha using TTF & GD

[irbis]

I hear you. The captcha does insert in to the contact us once I enable it again but it only shows the

Enable this picture Redraw Capture Image
Verification code: * (case insensitive)

Just no captcha picture is showing up.

What gets me is that I installed the same thing on my other site and they are almost identical.

in file .htaccess add

RewriteRule ^captcha_img.php.html$ captcha_img.php [L]

Hi! I added the version of this mod that is combined with the telephone not required on sign up. I also have swguy's Ask a Question mod installed and wondered if there was any chance of the captcha support being added for that?

I managed to get the captcha showing, but it doesn't validate it, i.e...the message still gets sent even if you don't fill out the captcha characters so I took it off again and I just don't know enough to know where I am going wrong LOL

**ETA I think I found something about this further back in the thread...my apologies for not reading first and I am off to try that LOL

Working now, please ignore me, I really do know better to search first, just having a blonde morning LOL

so what was the solution to the problem you had with captcha?

not validating

any info would be great .

this is one I cannot get to work

have installed and uninstalled numerous times

have checked, double checked and triple checked that files all uploaded correctly

on contact us page ... if I leave every box blank and click submit I get the validation error as well as all the other errors (although they seem to show red error box twice for each error message ... except for validation error message .. which only shows once)

if I fill all boxes in except validation box then it still sends (even if I enter wrong validation code it still sends)

wondering if the code for checking the validation is in wrong place ?

If you were replying to my post....as it says in the post my problem was related to getting the captcha to work with swguy's Ask A Question mod, of which I found the solution by using the Thread Tools at the top here, specifically Search This Thread with the keywords Ask a Question....beyond that if your problem is not to do with the other mod I cannot help, sorry :)

give this a try. I remember I edited the header file

Thanks romy .. i just downloaded your zip file , used the winmerg to compare with mine. yours uses the phone number and not mine .. but i notice missing ! before captchavalidate function .. and also , i guess major problem with not validating was that I renamed header_php.php to header_phpOLD.php.. well, it seems zen cart still load this php file along with new one .. not only it duplicates the error massages ( red box ) also is killing the captcha function .. so after removing it .. and adding " ! " , is working


im running on production server, installed under winxp with PHP5 + ..
Thanks again ..

I know the feeling. It feel great when a problem is solved. Glad to help.

is there SOME way to make the captcha code as actual words? i've seen that on other sites... seems like a neat way for a captcha.
