Support Thread UPDATED: Reviews by Guest & CAPTCHA using TTF & GD for Zen-Cart v1.3.9

Hi All,

I am creating this Support Thread for the Updated Combined version of (Reviews by Guest & CAPTCHA using TTF & GD for Zen-Cart v1.3.9) which I have created to use on my websites and thought someone else might want to save time and headaches doing them all over again!

I have MERGED both MODS files with the original files from Zen-Cart 1.3.9.

Download here: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=1731

If you have any support questions or feedback please post them on this forum so everyone can benefit.

Best Regards,

Hi,
I installed your mod this evening and I can't seem to get the reviews to work without a logon. I noticed in the readme that you mentioned adding defines to the english.php... but then there was no mention of a define that I could see below.

my test shop is here: www froze nrose design com/testshop

thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi Misticloudz,

Sorry about the defines bit in the "Read Me" text file, I added the defines in the included (includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/product_reviews_write.php) file so there was no longer a need to add them to the english.php but forgot to update the Read Me file.

Not sure why it is not working on your website, I installed this MOD on a number of websites and it worked without a hitch!

I checked out your website and could only see the CAPTCHA working :) but when I clicked on write a review it made me login :(.

• Did you make sure all FILES where uploaded correctly to their correct directories/folders/paths?
• Did you make sure to Merge any files that you may have used Overrides for?
• Did you make sure to change folder names (CUSTOM) to the name of your actual Template (RI_TEMPLATE_07)?

...After double checking the above, try uploading a fresh copy of the MOD to your website again and test it.

Update me on the status.

Cheers,

Yes, it looks like something bugged out when i uploaded the files originally. It seems to be working ok now. thanks :D

Hi Again,

Your welcome.
Just checked your website and it seems to be fine for me too. By the way, ur site looks great :)

Cheers,

thank you! i've put a lot of work into it :D

Hi

Ive added the mod and seems to be OK, however my captcha image does not display. using the debug/test scripts confirms that an image is being generated but not sent to the browser.

the site is here .. http://householdinnovations.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_write&products_id=994

Any one any ideas?

Cheers

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

Not sure why it is not working on your website, I've installed this MOD on a number of websites and it worked without a hitch!

I checked out your website and as you mention the CAPTCHA image is not displaying even though it pulling it.

• Did you make sure to upload the "Fonts" folder and the VERDANA font into your root directory?
• Did you make sure all FILES where uploaded correctly to their correct directories/folders/paths?
• Did you make sure to Merge any files that you may have used Overrides for?
• Did you make sure to change folder names (CUSTOM) to the name of your actual Template (household_innovations)?

...After double checking the above, you may want to try uploading a fresh copy of the MOD to your website again and see if that helps.

Update me on the status.

Cheers,

Hi There

thanks for the reply.

Ive gone through and verified that all the files are there. the fonts are in the root as well as the root of the shop and all is merged/uploaded as expected. I think all is right from my side. Still dont see the capture image though :(

Ive just looked on the old version of my site and seems I had the same problem as I ended up removing the captcha from the review. So I guess for now I will need to do the same. Not the best solution but gives me some time to investigate further.

Thanks for the help

Jonathan,

Thanks.

This might be due to your template, could you switch templates to the "classic" template to see if that changes anything?
Be sure to upload the same files that were meant to be uploaded to "custom" into the "classic" template as well, here is the list of the files (7 in total):

/includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/product_reviews_write.php
/includes/modules/CUSTOM/create_account.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_product_reviews_write_default.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_contact_us_default.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_modules_create_account.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/templates/tpl_tell_a_friend_default.php
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/buttons/english/button_redraw.gif

Also, just making sure you installed the SQL correctly?

Awaiting your further response.

Cheers,

Jonathan,

On another note, can you check to see if your GD Library is enabled, (GD Support: enabled),
Also, check to see if TTF is enabled as well, (FreeType Support: enabled)...
..as you need both GD & TTF installed & enabled for the CAPTCHA image to display!

In Admin go to Tools --> Server/Version Info, then scroll about half way down under "gd", it should tell you if GD is installed & enabled plus which version and if FreeType Support is enabled as well. If you are not certain ask your host!

Keep me updated.

Cheers,

hi rlexyd,

This module is working perfectly! I just want to ask where in admin can I moderate the reviews. I can't seem to find it. Help please.

I found it already. It's on admin>catalog>reviews. This module is really great! Thanks a lot.

Can you be a little bit more specific on what needs to be done to edit and install the captcha.sql ? Newbee in the breaking...

ok got the sql updated, but still dont know what code would need to be changed. Some more info would be great maybe for others even though mine is working. If would could also add in some info on what files would need to be added to languages and different templates that would be great. I have a general idea and am playing around with it right now anyway :shocking:

Just updated my info for Anti_reg.php in spanish, french, italian, and german if anyone wants them...

Will this work on 1.39f as well as 1.39g?

Lonehorse,

I was running it on the newest updates prior to my issues it worked great.

Yes, I did get it working in 1.39f. However, I believe there is an error or something missing in the SQL statements that sets this up. My server wouldn't accept the INSERT command in the configuration table, but it had no problem with the one for the configuration_group. The only difference is that the configuration_group started out with an @ sign. Whereas there was no @ associated with the configuration.

Hello and thanx for this nice mod!
It works with english language (default) but the image doesn't appear on other languages. Any help?
I use zen cart 1.3.9h and english and greek for languages.
thanx in advance
