CAPTCHA Anti-Robot Registration v1.4 for ZC v1.5 -- support thread

For Zen-Cart v1.5.0+ only.

This module provides a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) test to verify the users attempting to create accounts in your store, contacting your store thru the contact us page, and attempting to tell a friend about a product in your store, are actual people, with browsers -- rather than spiders or spambots.

This version may be downloaded from: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=325

Thanks to JT of GTI_Custom (JTheed) Version 1.3, which was the base code used for v1.4, written for Zen-Cart v1.5.0. You will note, with except for changes to the code which were need for it to work in Zen-Cart v1.5.0, it is basically, exactly the same as version 1.3.

The changes that were made, are clearly explained in the README FIRST text file. By reading that file first, you will see just how easy this file is to install, and should you decide at a later point to uninstall, for any reason, that will be rather painless also.

WARNING: This version of CAPTCHA is NOT backwards compatible. Meaning it will not work on any previous versions of Zen-Cart.

Should you have any questions regarding this version (v1.4), besure to post them all here, and please, only questions regarding this version. That way should anyone else have the same question/problem later, the information will be here for them to find, once answered by someone.

Thank you,

Hello,

I am confused or sleeping, I am having a difficult time understanding what to change the below area ('gID=31', 'configuration', 'Y', '26');) of the sql install to. I have a few addons installed.

Using Zen Cart 1.5.0
CAPTCHA Anti-Robot Registration v 1.4

Thank you...

INSERT INTO admin_pages ( page_key, language_key, main_page, page_params, menu_key, display_on_menu, sort_order ) VALUES ( 'configCaptchaValidation', 'BOX_CONFIGURATION_CAPTCHA_VALIDATION', 'FILENAME_CONFIGURATION', 'gID=31', 'configuration', 'Y', '26');

Sorry, I was sleeping...I found it. For anyone else "sleeping" log into phpmyadmin, look at "admin_pages" table and see what the last used Gid and sort order is.

it now shows up in the admin but it doesn't show any options...

anyone???

Refresh after refresh and nothing happens

Help appreciated thanks :)

Should the bottom of eg

tpl_contact_us_default.php

be

?>

instead of

?>

answer is no.

Hello,

I just installed 1.5.0 final and I think your add-on lacks the LOGIN page in the /includes/modules/pages directory (and of course also in the configuration table).
But it has the TELL A FRIEND page which is not in the 1.5.0 final.

Hope this helps

regards

Before I install this, is there not going to be any support?

Or are you on your own?

coopco:

answer is no.

err... somehow, after I restored back the </form>, I got a proper login form. Otherwise, one of the sidebox will 'crash' in the login page. This is for ZC1.50. I believe the same for tpl_contact_us.php
Well, tpl_tell_a_friend_default is no longer valid for latest ZC1.50

At least the Configuration Table is okay.

For those can't find your CAPTCHA Validation Configuration, pls search via "Look-up in all files" at Developers Tool Kit.

My 1st few trial on the Contact Us is not working properly, as the submittion could bypass the CAPCTHA, number of alphabet is not checked. I was about to gave up.. but somehow I tried again the CAPCTHA at user register page, it works! that's at least nice outcome today. Well, Length of Validation Code - OK
The (case insensitive) - NOT OK
Below the snapshot with 5 alphabet CAPCTHA.. I'm happy with it.. Thanks Joseph Greely for the contribution.

Sorry for a mistake, the (case insensitive) - OK. My 1st thought was the CAPCTHA would check the case sensitivity, but actually it won't.

I am so close to having this set-up BUT the only problem occuring is that does not appear on the customer end. After you submit new customer information it remains on customer registeration page with a big red warning that an incorrect CAPTCHa has been used. But it was never used as it never appeared.

Any insight would be great!

For me it doesnt show any options in the backend, what do you meen look up in all files? can you please help me?

IsaiChristian, I believe this is something related to SQL command, probably due to ZC1.50, but somehow Im not good in this SQL stuff.
I just followed the readme instruction, even the SQL command as well. I know the risk is there..
My search steps to call out the CAPTCHA Validaton:

I have installed this mod as per instructions and it appears to be working on the website, the only issue I have is that in the admin panel under configuration -> Captcha Validation all there is are the headings Title Value & Action. What have I missed?

I posted this in the ask a question thread and I think the problem is with the captcha.

I am having trouble getting the email to work on my 1.5 with Captch Anit-Robot installed from the template of contact us from captcha. My contact us works fine and ask a question worked before I added captcha. But ask a question will not send emails out. I have changed the references in the contact us captcha code in the following: module/pages/ask_a_question/header(1) and templates/my template/templates/tpl_ask_a_question(4). I have installed sql's for db(Added Config: Allow Guest to ask a question, ask email, ask name, ask a question validation). I can seel everthing but when I Send a message nothing happens. The message disappears but the name and email address stay on the screen. The validation code is replaced with a new set of letters. I am not sure where to go next. Any help would be appreciated.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to make ask a question work with captcha.
