Support Thread UPDATED: Reviews by Guest & CAPTCHA using TTF & GD for Zen-Cart v1.3.9

[reefland]

Still having issues as well.

1) All CAPTCHA images render properly.

2) Contact Us - CAPTCHA works, no login required.

3) Tell a Friend - CAPTCHA works, no login required.

4) Write a Review - still gets a LOGON page with CAPTCHA.

Does something else need to be set for a guest to Write a Review???

Thanks,

-Rich

Hi, rlexyd!

Just wanted to say thanks for a great mod! I've been looking for a good captcha script and this definitely fit the bill. I know your readme says it isn't your code, but I appreciate the effort you went to in order to save us all some trouble. Kudos to Andrew as well for his original work. Great stuff!

Thank you again! :)

I have an issue with Tell-A-Friend function.

Full details here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=179461

I'm just checking all the options and wondered whether Captcha on that form was causing the problem.

If anyone here has any thougths about possible conflicts please let me know.

Meanwhile I'll keep hunting elsewhere.

Mod worked well. Here is a new button I used instead. I set mine at 240 x 36, the button is 36 px

Question. Shouldn't CAPTCHA be turned off once you're logged in? I don't see the point of making logged user fill it out for writing reviews and telling a friend.

When I filled out the Contact Us form and tested it with the wrong CAPTCHA code the pagr refreshed and kept the info


I tested it with Write Review and Tell A Friend it did not

There's always the possibility a spammer will create an ID to log in and use your system with that account. So keeping the Captcha for registered users is one small deterrent/security feature worth retaining.

Also in my version of Tell-A-Friend form I've removed the message box to prevent spammers using it to spread information. The system now sends a friendly standard invitation to check out the product.

Try this.

STEP (1)
(root)\includes\templates\(your_template)\templates\tpl_tell_a_friend_default.ph p

Remove the box....

<label for="email-message"><?php echo FORM_TITLE_FRIEND_MESSAGE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('message', 30, 5, '', 'id="email-message"'); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Replace with....

<p>(Simple friendly instruction on the page.)</p>

This alters the page on the store site to replace the message box with a simple, friendly note.


STEP (2)

(root)\includes\languages\(language)\(your_template)\tell_a_friend.php

Edit the define() statements as desired for the output message.

I can't show you my site yet as it's down for upgrade.

*sigh* - finally figured out. I did not remove the following code from the \includes\modules\pages\product_reviews_write\header_php.php

if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
}

Working as advertised now. There are several differences between 1.39h and the page included in this products download. Hard to figure out which differences need to be ignored and which need to be included.
