Captcha using TTF & GD

[tony_sar]

Hi,

I hope that someone can give me a helping hand. I have installed the captcha and as far as I've checked it works fine except for the contact us page. When a costumer has forgotten to fill in a field or make a mistake in i.e. the captcha code the page load again with the error messages. But the inquiry field returns emty so the user must type again his message.

I search on the internet for sites with contact page using the captcha and test to see what happen but my problem didn't show there.

I use the original files and have no modifications made to it.

Hope there is somebody out there who can give me a solution.

Thank you in advance!

take a look at this bug report ..

Would be great if you came out w/ an updated version of this mod - love it. However, I've been told it's too outdated to be compatible w/ php 5.3.

Just finished reading the 55 pages, tried every suggested solution without any lock.

The only thing i did not try is the "checking for spaces" using the script from Andrew, i can find it, anyone know where i can get it?

I'm trying to install this module, BUT I've got an error on the SQL update, telling me that there are :

8 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

Into the Admin part, I only see the new CAPTCHA but noting inside.
I'm using a version 1.3.8a

Is there something to checks before ?
Thanks for your help

1, Fe1ho,

Did you install the captcha_img.php, captcha_debug.php, and captcha_test.php files in the root directory? The instructions leave out that step. You can run the captcha_test.php by typing that filename into your browser's address.

2. On another note, I have installed this module into 2 stores, one being a 1.3.9e store, and it works fine so far on my test server in 1.3.9e where I am running PHP.5.2.9-2.

3. And yet another note: I have installed Captcha on 2 sites using the Zencart_Zen template, and each time I have had to correct inc.udes/languages/zencart_zen/english.php, at lines 282-283 in my installation, so that where it says ' = Required Information' it says '* = Required Information' and below that, where it says 'star.gif' I have replaced star.gif with '*'.

Before doing the corrections above, my pages just said = Required Information; and my "Contact Us" page said "star.gif" in the 3 places where there should have been an asterisk *.

I am puzzled that I see no mention of this problem in the thread when searching on "star.gif" or "=Required information."

I am also puzzled that I do not see that english.php file in the module itself, so I cannot go in and fix the module for future uploads.

Does anyone know whether this is a problem with my particular template (Zencart_Zen) or some other factor? Since it was easily solved, this is just an esoteric question at this point.

Thanks for any responses.

I have installed this Captcha module and having frustrations.

Installed all files as needed and all pages that the captcha was supposed to show on are now blank. When I go to the admin and turn captcha off for a certain page my page comes back.

The only think I can figure may be wrong is I do not understand the instructions:

2. EDIT:
Use applied files as a sample. All changes of a code are made in brackets
// BOF CAPTCHA
... code ...
// EOF CAPTCHA


I saved the files to their directories, what do I need to edit? I am fairly new but have installed templates in the past with little problems. I know I installed all the files, what am I missing?

Here is example of contact page not working:
http://pet-rabbit-toys.com/store/ind...age=contact_us


Only good thing is at least the spammers can't get to those pages either!!!!

I am testing the ttf_gd CAPTCHA for use on my new store. I am having an issue with the size of the font used for the image creation.
It doesn't respond to changes made in the admin control.
I've run through the thread but I found this mentioned, but no solution.
It doesn't seem to be template dependent.

I'm running v1.3.9e, Linux 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5xen, 5.3.2 (Zend: 2.3.0) , MySQL 5.0.91, GD is bundled (2.0.34 compatible)



I noticed in the debug,
'FreeType Support' => false,
'T1Lib Support' => false,
Could it be either of these? Are they dependencies?

Update, I recompllied adding FreeType to my PHP build and it is now working! Yes they are dependencies.

Note on Post 545, there was a missing parameter in my zencart_zen template, just a matter of typing in * before = Required.
