Captcha using TTF & GD

[Maska]

I just wanted to say a big thank you to Andrew and everyone who has posted helpful fixes etc on this thread.

Today I successfully installed this mod, with one minor hiccup that this thread helped me address. In my case the mod accepted any entry as valid on all pages except "create account".

@AmandaGero - I don't know if you have resolved your problem or not but you seem to have the exact opposite of me so I was thinking it might be the same cause. The reason for me was that I had named my old header_php files as header_php_save. I deleted these and now everything works as intended.

1.38a with all security patches

I get this error.
Fatal error: Call to a member function close() on a non-object in /home3/carbsfou/public_html/includes/classes/captcha.php on line 341

get a blank white page on create account or contact us.

If i go to admin and turn off this for the two pages they come up fine (without the captcha of course).

test does not work as well, same error

Any help would be great

Hello everyone,

I am trying to get this module installed, I changed the needed files, added the sql to the database but still no go, it shows up on the create account page, but keeps returning the message: "You did not enter the validation code correctly. Please, try again."

The "captcha_test.php" works great, can someone throw me a bone.

Here is a link to the page: https://www.ecobaba.biz/index.php?main_page=login

I've searched the thead but, alas, no joy.

Have checked proper placement of all Captcha files and cannot find the reason why the text is showing instead og the redraw buttin:
/includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/BUTTON_IMAGE_CAPTCHA_REDRAW
TITLE_CAPTCHA TEXT_CAPTCHA
The png file is attached

Thanks a pile
AJ

Ive had Captcha installed for a while now and had noticed on my localhost windoze test machine that I often got an 'incorrect validation code message' for several attempts, even tho the code entered was correct. I have now had complaints from customers that they cannot log in due to the same problem on my Live site.
Ive now disabled CAPTCHA but getting the spambots again.
Any explanation why it works intermittently?

Yep just installed this, and it's happening to me too. Absolutely no idea why, and it would appear Andrew hasn't been checking this forum for a while.

In the interm I've turned it off. Luckily I only need it for the "non user review" page mod, and I can still filter at the admin level for spam, so it's not a biggie.

Love this Mod. Running Zen-Cart v1.3.8a with no mod to the Contact Us form. Followed instructions exactly. Works great, with one problem:

In IE8, box is LEFT-justified under "Security Check:".

In Firefox 3.6, box is RIGHT-justified on same line as "Security Check:"

You can see this if you go to my site (using Firefox) at:

Anyone else have this same problem? If you're only using IE, I would check your site with Firefox just to be sure you aren't experiencing the same problem I am.

Any ideas?

Ignore my replay above - posted to wrong thread by mistake. Argh.

Hi. I am using ZC 1.3.8A, with a number of mods, including Captha.

Everything worked fine, until I changed some .htaccess parameters.

I know it's only because of the changes I had made, as when I replace with the old .htaccess file, the Captcha again works 100%.

The .htaccess changes are needed. t I made many changes, however, and I'm wondering if anyone can steer me in the right direction, as far as which change, specifically, did this.


Nothing else on my cart, or the server, seems affected in any kind of negative way by the new .htaccess file.

When using my new .htaccess parameters, instead of displaying the Captcha image, I only see 'Enable This Picture' where the Captcha image should be, and the redraw button at right.

Clicking on that, it looks like the image will be drawn, it shows a rectangle the size of the Captcha block really fast, but then again reverts to the 'Enable This Picture' text.

What I seem to need to find out: How is the Catchpa image generated, as clearly I've disable the ability to do so on my server.

Hallo, I would like to ask how I could add captcha verification to be checked by javascript?

My intension is to make certain that if a user inserts the wrong captcha code, the other entries in the form are kept intact instead of being erased and making necessary for the user to enter everything again from the beginning.


Kind regards,

OK; it was probably a bad idea to leave the cart like that for ANY period of time, but we were concerned about hacks, and in the meantime while securing the site, if someone couldn't log on, then that was OK. Now, I've removed the .htaccess code, and the Captcha STILL isn't working!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's failing as it had been previously, with the new .htaccess changes. I KNOW that removing the new .htaccess code had fixed it instantaneously when I was messing with this, as I even posted that on this thread. (Just in case I am unsure, if I posted it ,I'm certain it was the case!) But now...it's seemingly stuck.

Can any .htaccess parameters stay in effect even after the .htaccess commands are removed???

I'm going to see if it was any of the suggested patches and security upgrades on this board that I installed. It doesn't make sense that it could be that, as changing the .htaccess file from new to old made the Catchpa work and then not work each and every time I tested before leaving the new settings in place.
