Captcha using TTF & GD

[anworks]

I have no idea what is going on but I cant get this thing to pull the fonts file. It just displays small text. I guess its no big deal because it works but its pretty hard to read. I have been searching the forums all day with no luck. Any help is appreciated.

I've read the first few pages but did not see my question answered, is it possible to ONLY do the captcha on the contact and tell a friend forms, not the regsitration or others?

Thanks!

Keep digging for the answer I'm sure it is possible, but it's been so long since I came on the answer that I can't remember where I found it.

Yes, in admin/configuration/CAPTCHA set the "Contact us page" and "Tell A Friend page" options to true.

Hmmm..
Ive installed the "Captcha using TTF & GD" module on my Windows LocalHost test machine. Alas.. she no worky.
I followed instructions explicitly, but my site will not show the images on the validation pages ! ReDraw dont help.
My cart uses PHP 5. with database prefix"zcprefix_" (not the actual name).
Ive installed the SQL seq as per instruction.
Attached image ... contact_Us example

The Log-In page shows no CAPTCHA data at all.
All admin>CAPTCHA options are set to true as installed.

Can anyone please help? I have big problems with SPAMBots and MUST fix this asap !
Is my prefix causing sql problems, I changed nothing in install.sql ?
Cheers

I may have not followed instructions properly...
It looks like there are 8 files I need to edit ????? !!!
I assumed that these files did not need to be edited as the my existing files are all unchanged from the original install.
Do I still need to edit these files?

Well after installing CAPTCH ttf on my local windows server, and re-booting, clearing the cache etc etc etc. CAPTCHA still would not show the Validation Image.
Then several days after installing it just started working! even tho I made no changes. Go figure that out? !

So I uploaded and SQL patched to my live site and I get the same problem. :
Instead of a Validation Image, I get a box that says: "enable this picture"

How can I fix this please ?

Ok its working.
I found that on both my localhost and my live Linux host that started to work only after running the tesy and/or debug files.
*captcha_test.php ,captcha_debug.php and/or captcha_img.php"
Not sure wich one triggered it to start working, but it just would not work until I broused to those files.
No mention of that in the Install Text.

Hi,
I am using version 2.9.
Congratulations on this mod, very well done, worked first time apart from the sql would not run in zen admin without an error, fine in phpmyadmin though.

I have found two minor validation errors, I could not find any reference to them in the thread so,

in classes/captcha.php
there are two unencoded ampersands.
1)
change this line:

$image = '<img id="captcha-img" src="' . $this->img_href . '&rand=' . str_replace(' ', '', microtime()) . '" alt="' . $alt . '"';

to this:

$image = '<img id="captcha-img" src="' . $this->img_href . '&amp;rand=' . str_replace(' ', '', microtime()) . '" alt="' . $alt . '"';

2)
change this line:

$redraw = ' onclick="document.getElementById(\'captcha-img\').src=\'' . $this->img_href . '&rand=\'+Math.random();return false;"';

to this:

$redraw = ' onclick="document.getElementById(\'captcha-img\').src=\'' . $this->img_href . '&rand=\'+Math.random();return false;"';

regards

Hi all,

I was trying to decide on a captcha addon and initially installed captcha number subject in 1.0 and was having trouble getting it to work. There is no support thread and I have not seen it mentioned much on the forums, so I decided to change.

Captcha using ttf & gd has some got some great remarks so I decided to change to that one.

After I ran the uninstall for the previous addon, I went to work on installing Captcha using ttf & gd, all went smooth!

However I do have an error:

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

Does anyone know what this is? Any ideas/solutions are greatly appreciated. Thanks.
