jillcripps:

I think I see an issue - my 'create_account' page is titled 'login' for some reason (when you go to log-in from nav bar). I have tried replicating and changing info in files to login (adding another set of files) and placing them but still not working, now I also see the login page is https and the create_account http...

Not sure what I can do here, not being a zen cart whiz...If I do a test on the login page and click submit, then it takes me to create_account and tells me I have entered code incorrectly and then I can input it, all the info is on that page...

So, I need to get the info on the login page or change the log-in page to direct to the create_account page (but then do I lose the SSL)....? Curioser...

From your Admin page, click on Configuration, Layout Settings, and set 'Use split-login page' to True. Click Login, select Create Account, and at the bottom of the page, you should/will see the Captcha form. Create Account Captcha cannot be seen unless the Split-Login setting is used, though not mentioned in the original installation instructions.

I'm having the exact problem with my Captcha working on the Contact page but not showing up on the Reg page. I tried what you said above and set the split page to TRUE and still no Captcha. The reg page also looks no different with that set to TRUE. When I first installed this module there was no change to the Customer Details page. Shouldn't it have added something to turn on/off this particular Captcha? There is a part on there to activate Captcha but I think it's for the other module I also couldn't get to work. Also note when I install the update patch it doesn't install all says one file couldn't be replaced because it already exists. Could that be a problem?

We need more info from you.

First, what are your settings for Captcha in Admin? (Configuration, CAPTCHA validation) Are they all set to TRUE, or, are some set to FALSE? If any are set to FALSE, they are turned off, and need to be turned on, by setting to TRUE.

If still not working, what version of Zen-Cart do you have in use, exact version of CAPTCHA and Author(since there are several), PHP, MySQL, and all other Add-ons(listed with version number and date, or update date of version).

Last, but also most importantly, re-check all the code that you put in place for CAPTCHA and verify that your not missing any commas, or ";". The reason I say that, is that missing the ";" or a comma when coding a new Add-on, has usually been the primary reason something doesn't work, not always, but usually.

So, Check the settings in you Admin for CAPTCHA, re-check your coding for any missing comma's, or ";", and if still not working properly, let us have the information on software and add-ons requested above, so that we can try to address the issue for you. For I have been unable to duplicate your problem, except for causes already mentioned, so far.

A real shame that this captcha does not work, fresh install of zen cart 1.50, uploaded files and tried to install sql but fails everytime.

Is there any other captchas available for 1.50??

crazy, another fresh install with bare 1.50 zen cart and no matter what I do the sql patch will not install, error everytime!

Maybe it is better to downgrade zen cart and use another captcha :no:

Just sayin'..:yes:

When installing the sql patch through admin, the following error message shows up.

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

This is probably the error previous posters are talking about.

Per the ReadMe file, verified that these are correct

Add-Ons already or, made changes to this table, you will need to set those numbers to what the next setting would be for them, in Sequential Order

1.3.8a, been working fine since the beginning (not to rub it in)

Is there any way to remove zeroes and o's from the random generation?

Customers are getting frustrated (customer service too) on this one.

Is there any way to remove zeroes and o's from the random generation?

Anyone who needs to change the font, I succeeded by using the reference to a .gdf font file. This then prompted me to up the size of the image too, which was nice

    //Add randomly generated string in black to the image
	$font = imageloadfont('./atommicclock.gdf');
    ImageString($image, $font, 40, 10, $pass, $black); 

Should the bottom of eg

tpl_contact_us_default.php

be

?>

instead of

?>

This can also happen when the TYPE=MyISAM in the SQL file conflicts with the MySQL version that the user is running.

Changing it to ENGINE=MyISAM solves the problem, as per post by DrByte

Installing the patch from within phpMyAdmin will give detailed error messages.

That generic error message when installing an SQL file will mean that an error log was also created. THIS is where the error details are contained..

Ah! I see, thanks

The Captcha works on the contact us (except that it erases your message if you type the wrong captcha phrase, any way to keep this from happening?
Using version 1.3.9h

I have installed the mod - pretty sure correctly - except that the images don't display.

Through debugging it looks like the function zen_image is returning nothing, although it works on other places on the site.

For now I've added a temporary fix bypassing the zen_image function with direct-coded img tags instead.

Here's my website

Any advice much appreciated.

To verify, which version of Zen-Cart are you using, and what add-ons, and version of add-ons? In the event another add-on is causing a conflict with the Captcha add-on.

Then check and verify that your images are in the appropriate location. Based on the coding, your images for the validation folder should be located: YOUR STORE SITE/IMAGES/VALIDATION/"images here".

The most common problem with the Captcha add-on, is the failure to utilize the split log-on setting. Not using that, will hide items related to the Captcha add-on.

All this information for the most part, has been fully covered in the thread. True, a lot of information is listed in the forum, and can take some time to find, but should this not help resolve your issue, the answer should be here. Though maybe seems somewhat buried.

I'm using Zen Cart 1.50. I don't think any of the add-ons I'm using would interfere with zen_image(), but they are: Google Analytics 1.2.5b, Automatic Currency Updates, Paypal Session Viewer 3.02.

The pics are all in the right place, otherwise it wouldn't work with my hack bypassing zen_image(). I have split log-on setting activated. I've been through the thread and found a couple of people (fontaholic and oxxyfx, pages 6-8) who also didn't get images displaying, but no solution is posted.

also having issues with capcha not installing sql with error WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

any ideas please

Okay folks,

I needed this to work for me on several sites as I have a friend (not) in Croatia who's not too happy about my catching him trying to hack our WHMCS system. He has started attacking every site we manage so.... time to get CAPTCHA working with v1.5.0 instead of its beta version.

Tell-a-Friend is no more, the tpl files were missing a </form>, the sql is changed to automatically install without errors and will remove any previous version of CAPTCHA that is installed on Zen-Cart v1.5.0.

I did not mess with the split login as we use it on all our sites.

I would appreciate it if someone would try this out prior to my submitting it in the Plugins area. (BACKUP!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The license file is temporarily missing in order to keep the file below the 48k limit for zip files.

THANX

Hi
Have tried the zip file .I didn't delete the old files just over wrote ..The sql worked fine as did contact us with me having to input a code and failed if I didn't ...
On account setup it wasn't there but then again I am using fast easy checkout ,should that be a problem or can you over come that
I don't know if it's possible but would also like it to work with Links Manager if not will have to scrap it

thanks for update though
