Captcha using TTF & GD

[harry2cool]

Hi,
I installed this mod, could see Captcha on the "Tell A Friend" Page, however cannot see it on the "Create Account Page"

I have rechecked the Modules and Templates folder twice, Where can I be wrong, any help will be appreciated.

The Sql has been installed, and the configuration page says "Yes" while testing for "Create Account" page

Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere so I thought I would see if it had a solution. The captcha doesn't display the code (it's a broken image link) if either Customer Approval Status - Authorization Pending or Customer Shop Status - View Shop and Prices are set to 1 (must be authorized to browse) and/or (must login to browse). Seems to work on any of the other settings.



I did think of a use for that broken link.

If you only want the add customer through admin to be used to create an account, then either of those will definately stop them in their tracks! Actually, a pixel_trans.gif renamed to button_create_account.gif works better, but why be picky?

Weird, I see it on my create account, tell-a-friend and contact us but not on the login (split screen mode). It's optioned in the config for the login but does not show. Wasn't planning on using it there, but....

I'm using version 2.9 of this mod and all of a sudden (not sure how long this has been going on) my login and contact us pages are completely blank.

I used the Debug Error Logging Utility and this is the error that appears:

PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function close() on a non-object in /home/saraspix/public_html/mypixelprints.com/includes/classes/captcha.php on line 341

I haven't edited this file since I installed the mod (back in January) so I have no clue what's going on. I have turned off the CAPTCHA on for now but I really REALLY need this mod as I get swamped with spam if I don't have something to stop the bots.

Thanks in advance for any help on this :)

Hi, thanks for such a great mod to zen cart.

I have the mod installed as per the instructions and I can see the captcha image on the appropriate pages on the store however I do not have the Admin > Configuration > Captcha option?

Can any one offer help as to why this may be or what I have missed? I have triple checked the instructions and what I have done and I am darn if I can see what i have did wrong or missed as to why I do not have the Captcha appearing in the Configuration menu.

What comes to mind is the patch. If it was inserted correctly then you should have a Captcha option added to the end of your configuation tab.

If you missed that, just open install_captcha.sql with notepad, do a select all and copy/paste it with the tools option. if you upgraded from an earlier version, you may want to try the version specific sql patch.

Hope it is as simple as that!

If you did the patch, then pleasee disreard my reply.

My best guess (don't think it would actually qualify as help though):


Since line 341 in the classes/captcha.php is

function _get_gd_version() {

I am led to believe that gd library is not either installed on your server, is broken, or some parameter has been changed.

Most hosts will let their users see that info, so if you can verify that gd lib is there, and if it is, then I would check with your host. They may have done an upgrade and haven't tweaked it yet.

If anyone has a better suggestion, please let us know!

Dennis,

Thanks for the reply...but what is the gd library??

How do I know if it's there or missing?

Thanks!

Also I have two Zen Carts, both on the same servers, both run with this mod...one is working just great and this one isn't. What could that mean??
