Captcha using TTF & GD

Hello.
I am not sure if there is any support for this mod , but here , i give it a try .
I downloaded the mod from zen cart site.( 1.38x)
installation was ok for contact up page. captcha showing up , i can redraw , but i don't need to enter validation to send email .. went through all the post , some had the same problem but no cure ..

if i leave all the text field blank on contact us and submit , i see warning massage relating to all fields including captcha .. thats all .
I tried captch_test.php, and there everything works.

any idea why validation wont required ?

thanks.

As long as someone answers, the support is never dead...

Of coarse, we're bland as bats without links, info so on... so for a shoot in the dark, I say you missed one edit or did not upload captcha.php in the classes folder.

Also check the header_php.php files for the validation call.. like this one for 'contact_us'.

Code:

---

  if (is_object($captcha) && !$captcha->validateCaptchaCode()) {
    $error = true;
    $messageStack->add('contact', ERROR_CAPTCHA);
  }

---

Thanks.
I am using my developer server at home. sorry if there were no links ..
I did upload all the file. i checked , double checked for the files. the code you supplied was posted before , so i did also check for the code in the header_php.php and everything seems to be ok ..

didn't have any problem installing and showing captcha like many have had , is just Email can be send without entering validation .

I will try to reinstall it tonight again and see what happens. i might have missed something. :no:


Thanks.

Hi ..
I reinstalled this mod , again, im back at same problem . no need for validation on contact Us page..
when i do test .. using captch_test.php, everything works fine.

i did configure few directive of apache , thinking those maybe the result , but logically , if it works on test , it should work on contact us , but i guess , validation code is somehow not inserted in correct location on the page.

any more info would be great .

thanks.

Oh well, seems dead support on this mod.. is amazing that many had the same issue and it seems to find a way to solve it , but yet no one bothered to post the solution ..

contribution like this , should be removed from zen download section.

just my 2 cents:censored:

The support isn't dead, the Author of this contribution a_berezin still continues to help out in this thread.

This contribution works fine for me and alot of others, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and follow the instructions thoroughly, doesn't hurt to read the thread over too.

Keep in mind, support here is free, others are using their own free time and patience to help everyone here. Not everyone can be answered immediately with a solution.

I have found that out, I was the same way. But I know am choosing to respect that now and be a lil more patient :)

another option is to post help in the commercial help thread, but you'd have to pay some $$

Thanks.
I read through all the pages from page 1 to page 41 ..
I have installed , uninstalled , installed.
I have looked inside the codes.. not that i understand anything but i had to look upon others suggestion for missing code .

now , Either the script is not working , or my server is miss configured.
base on what i can find on my server , everything working just fine.
if i can use captcha test page to test and if it validates there . then server is fine.

zen cart , is serious program , and is for business and is not playground for kiddy scripters .. I appreciate efforts that are put toward making mods and making zen even better ..
but if anyone going to make efforts of writing something , they should at least make sure those things really work ..
not everyone pro with php, mysql and stuff . and not every server configured the same way .. so either do it right or don't do it.

most of the modes here looks just like puzzle .

The instructions are detailed, explains exactly what to do to step by step, if you don't understand the coding, or if you find this too difficult of a task to do, you can hire someone to do the code for you or rebuild the code to suit your needs.

Not sure if I did something wrong, but once in Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches, it did not seem to work using the *Upload* function. I had the file in a directory on my desktop and navigated to that file. I got an error message using that method, so I went back and used the copy/paste method we discussed a few posts back and it went through fine.
Thanks again Andrew, chrx
