Captcha using TTF & GD

I apologize if this has been stated already, but it is late and I am far too tired to read all 18 pages to check, lol.

I was having the same problem as a few others here with the image not showing. It would just show "Enable this picture". It turned out to be my SEO mod (Ultimate SEO URLs by dream-scape) that was fumbling it up. Disabled that and it worked great. Just thought I would mention that for anyone else who may be in a similar situation (or willing to find a way to make them work together :wink:).

I have same problem as it works woth SEO mod turned off, is there any fix for this?? Maybe a statement in the .htaccess file for it?

I have just installed the mod (latest version)

Ok probably a stupid question BUT

Should i be installing the

update_2_1.sql
update_2_2.sql
update_2_3.sql

or are they just there to update older versions of the mod

I cant remember what was in the folder but I do remember there being several SQL versions and I do believe I installed the newest one and it works fine!

Good Luck!

Hi,
I have installed the latest version of this from Zen Cart download. I am getting error messages like this as below:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class captcha in /home/orissash/public_html/indiashoplive/includes/classes/captcha.php on line **14

Don't know what's going on here? Can anyone help me if there is any fix?

Thanks
Brian

I bet you renamed files on the server to FILENAME.php.bak or FILENAME.bak. You need to delete these files. I can't remember which file caused the error for me, but I went back and deleted all my backup files on the servers, and everything worked OK. I'll see if I can find my previous post about this.

Hi KtNaturals,

Thanks for your reply. I checked any file with name .bak extension and I don't have anything like that in my directory. I guess there might be some othre instances where we get this type of error messages. Any idea how to fix them?

Thanks
Brian

The extension doesn't have to be .bak. I used to rename my files FILENAME-old.php, and that interferred too.

I Google searched the error message and found out about this. So if you're stuck, might as well try that, too.

Do you have another version of captcha installed? I had to clean it up, but it didn't make a difference.

Hi,
I have also same problem. How can I turn off SEO mod. I also don't know if my web site has this enabled or not. But I am getting the same error message "Enable this picture". Don't know why?

Thanks
Brian

Hi Brian,
Admin --> Configuration --> SEO URL's --> "Enable SEO URLs?" (the first item) should be set to "False" :)

Hi Tex,
Thanks for your reply. I don't have any option SEO urls in my admin configuration. I wonder if there are any additional extra I need to install.

Thanks

Hi All,

This is an important information for those who were not able to implement the captcha provided by download section of zen cart. You can use recaptcha from official site of captcha for free. I had implemented them in my website and it is really very good with more secured and more options. It is also easy to install. You can download them from http://recaptcha.net/plugins/php/.

Thanks
Brian

I am having this same issue and have found no resolution. I do not have the ultimate seo component mentioned, however I am still getting the "Enable This Picture" thing. Any insight as to how to resolve would be greatly appreciated. I can be reached direct at [email protected] or in this forum.

IH2 being one of them, I remember reading about potential issues with this mod

look forward to hearing from someone, who can help me. :smile:

There is a minimal debug version in the latest mod distribution, which you can access/test directly (outside of Zen Cart) to test image rendering and redraw functions.

Be sure you are using the latest mod version as previous versions contained some misc code which was problematic on some hosts and some versions of PHP.

I had a similar issue and escapes me right now how I solved it. I think I had to edit out some minor code from mod file, the changes are documented in the readme or changelog.

Check to be sure you have no script blocking utility enabled in browser or firewall software which might interfere with redraw button functionality.

The mod requires recent versions of GD.

Running with IH2 should not be a problem.

Thanks Woodymon,

I made an installation boo boo :oops: once I corrected that it's working great,, thanks for your time anyways, lol :clap:

ok I have a new problem now. I recently rebuilt my site to correct a problem unrelated to this mod. In the process I am now running the newest version of Links Manager ver. 3.2.3. After several failed attempts of merging the captcha code into the template file I am begging for help. I'm getting hammered with spam links. :shocking:

Love the mod, just can't get the two of them to get along

I'm getting an unexpected end error when I merge in all the sections that are marked in the code.

Does anyone have the correctly merged files they would be willing to send me? Save me from my spam hell PlEaSe :lamo:

I can't figure out why this mod works on all of the options except for the Create a New Account one. If you go and register it warns that the validation code has not been entered although there is none actually present.

ANy ideas here?
