Captcha using TTF & GD

cjcrafts:

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:

cjcrafts, I was having the same thing. When I installed the captcha my links manger submit link page gave errors. I have an old version that I installed on my running site which is curently running php4.. and I have links manager on it and they both are fine? Im testing this on my PC which is PHP5 and im getting errors. The last time I tried to install I never saw any picture ect. it was like I didnt install it:blink: If you get yours fixed let me know and I will do the same...Thanks!

Oh, What and where is the latest version/download?

I found it in the zencart downloads I have attached it for you as well. I'm not sure if this is a new development with this new version or what. I do know I had the previous version working get with CAPTCHA. I am at a total loss as to how to fix it at this point. I'm hoping to find that answer here too.

Mantid:

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:).

For some people that are having problems displaying the captcha image due to the .html being added to captcha_img.php

I added this line to my .htaccess file and it seems to work.

Redirect /captcha_img.php.html https://mywebsite.c4.myhost.com/captcha_img.php

Obviously you would need to change the italics portion to suit your needs.

If your using SSL, I believe you must redirect to an SSL location so you don't get any certificate issues.

cjcrafts, I was talking about captcha's latest and greatest. I have the newest links manager installed and modifyed to except banners. I just cant get captcha to even show up at the bottom of anything... Thanks for finding the file though :bigups:......

:oops: I must have misunderstood you then, I am not aware of a new release of the gd ttf captcha mod.

On another note I have tried slicing and dicing mixing and matching several different combinations and still can't get it to work right with the links manager.

It appears just fine, but when I load the submit link page, however it displays the add image field with the field title all muffed up, and when you submit the link it rolls you right back to the submit form instead of displaying the link submitted screen.

It has me totally baffled because all I have been doing is adding the code that is between the //bof captcha and //eof captcha segments from the captcha mod to the header_php.php and tpl_links_submit_default.php of links manager 3.2.3.

:frusty:

:censored: Boy do I feel like an idiot, I found my problem, I was adding the code in the wrong place in the template file. This is what happens when they switch me to decaf :blink:

Thank anyways,

I was hoping someone could expand on the reason this may be happening. CAPTCHA works on all pages that I choose in admin except for the actual "create account" page.:frusty:

Here is my link CLICK HERE

Thanks for your help.:lookaroun

cjcrafts, what did you do to fix this? Here is my error when I click submit a link:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_get_link_path() (previously declared in W:\wamp\www\rbackyard\includes\functions\links.php:23) in W:\wamp\www\rbackyard\includes\functions\links.php on line 32

Is this the error you were getting and if so what and where did you do? Im new to this so please post code...Thanks!!

I got it working without the Captcha at the bottom of the links Manager page! I just didnt use the header.php file that was with the Captcha.. I would still like to know how to add it at the bottom of the page though!

PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!!! :cry: Users can not register on my site! I have CAPTCHA working on all pages except the "create account" page and it leaves users going somewhere else. Before this version I was running the other very basic CAPTHA. I tried to uninstall it the best I could and perhaps something went nuts. ***My page is HERE!!*** I am also using ultimate seo but the CAPTHA issue started before that installation.

Someone actually called me and let me know they could not go any further with their registration.

How can I implement this CAPTCHA to the modul "Ask a question"?

Can someone tell me very simply how in intall the captcha. I've read the readme but still don't know what to do. I like to think that I'm rather intelligent and can follow directions but come on--this is like Greek to me. :shocking:

TIA.

look threw the files and everywhere it says Your_Template change the name to your "custom" templates name. Then upload all files to your zencart. Not to worry all files are in the same structure so they will go where needed. Once uploaded the SQL patch thats includedNote I think there are several updates in the folder so do the most recent. Run the SQL in you zencars admin/tools/install SQL patches. Just copy your code and paste it in the "Enter the Query to be executed area" and click send. Thats it! you can go to the admin/configuration/CAPTCHA and adjust things ect and I think there are a few more areas that you can adjust but that is the basics. Good luck!

ok here's a new one on me??

My captcha images is only displaying one character as shown below

jjjjjj
666666
tttttt
222222,

intead of random characters.

This has be totally baffled. I haven't toyed around with captcha in weeks, any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone,

I really love Zencart and I am completely new to this. (i do understand php and some sql)

I was trying to use the captcha and the darkness template ->
Darkness Template

and it doesn't seem to show the image on the contact or any of the other pages that I found it on. I was able to do the test image and it worked fine but I guess i was confused on what could be wrong and why it wasn't showing. :frusty:

Here is what I see when I had it setup.

Then if I try to send a message it gives me the error that the code wasnt filled out correctly.

I have uninstalled it temporarily but can reinstall the captcha again if needed.

I have been looking into this for just about a week now, with no luck. :censored:

I have hit a brick wall, if anyone has even the slightest idea, please throw me a bone here. Captcha was working absolutely fine until the day of my original post.
