Captcha using TTF & GD

[KTNaturals]

I just moved to a different host. Now, I'm having a small font problem on my main site.

http://www.ktnaturals.com/index.php?...age=contact_us

What's strange is that I have a test store in just a directory under the root. That one's displaying fine.
http://www.ktnaturals.com/testshop/i...age=contact_us

The 2 hosts run different versions of PHP, Apache, and MySQL. But that doesn't explain why my testshop displays it correctly... I wouldn't worry so much, but I know some people are going to complain that they can't read it...

I compared the captcha files for both, and I checked the settings, and they're identical.

The only difference is the database... I normally apply the same updates for both stores, so I don't even know where to check...

I tried all 3 image formats, as well as adjusting the font size. Nothing works. I seemed to recall an update that I applied to this mod a while back that fixed this issue at my old host. Maybe I need to undo it? Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Figured it out... Somehow, the fonts file was missing with the font file. I re-uploaded it, and all is well.

I am having the same problem -- any help on this error? ZC v1.3.7, MySQL client version: 4.1.21

WittyMom:

Did you copy & paste or use the upload option when you tried to apply the sql patch? Copy & paste is the best way to do this.

[wittymom]

No, copy & paste won't work with this one because it calls in fields that it creates in other tables.

I had modify the script myself. The problem(s) were:

1. Field names weren't encased in `these`
2. Field values weren't encased in 'these' -- namely 'NULL' and the values for "Order"

The first part of the script ran fine where it added a field to the configuration_group, so I went and got the ID for the new field and in subsequent code I replaced:

@configuration_group_id

with..

'ID#' (the actual #)

...I also had to add the prefix to "configuration"

I have no idea why only a couple of us had this problem! I got it from the same download screen everyone else did. I don't know much about SQL versions, but maybe that had something to do with it.

Shalom all,

I installed ths mod and it worked great on every page it's supposed to except for the contact_us page which it simply loaded a blank page on. When I uninstalled it the page was there again... Has anyone else had this problem and, if so, how did you fix it?

Shalom.

No, copy & paste won't work with this one because it calls in fields that it creates in other tables.

Copy/Paste & Execute work fine with this and other sql-scripts.
Upload & Execute don't work with magic quotes in 1.3.7.

Just a FYI.

Running cpatcha mod on ZC 1.3.7.1

Just updated host to Apache 2.2.6 and PHP 5.2.5 (and Apache and PHP now run as CGI and suphp and suhosin installed).

The captcha on contact form still works fine ;-)

Thanks Andrew.

P.S. So how well are the techniques used by this mod holding up?

Recent reports suggest Yahoo's captcha has possibly been cracked for a 35% success rate. (success defined from perspective of the spammer... 35% is considered very good accuracy)

Does anyone has CAPTCHA updated for 1.3.8a?

Does anyone has CAPTCHA updated for 1.3.8a?

Sure. If you will simply follow the instructions to change the files, everything will be fine in 1.3.8.
