Captcha using TTF & GD

cjcrafts:

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.

test site please.

Zapisto:

test site please.

Sorry, should've put that in the post to begin with.

Zapisto:

where you take this SQL statement
because this is wrong and i never see that in the zip.

Hi,

got it from the download section. I am not sure what is wrong. The zip has install, update 2_1, update 2_2, update2_3 and one uninstall sql files.

I've just installed this mod and it appears to work except for the fonts not looking quite right.

It appears to be some sort of default font instead of the TrueType fonts. Looking back through this thread, I think Woodymon was having a similar problem, but I don't know what he did to fix it, if it ever did get fixed.

Are you still watching Woody? :D

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.

ok I have grown tired of trying to find the source of this problem.

as explained above in the quote, captcha is not randomizing the characters right on my site.

it is usually the same character like this

JJJJJJ or 111111, and occasionally KTTTTT, hopefully you all follow what I'm saying. It could be any character or number but this is how they are displaying.

it has been a little disturbing to my visitors as it show weakness in my security measures.

my site is http://www.cjcrafts.com if you would like to see what I'm talking about. I would really appreciate some help on this one I'm totally lost now.

cjcrafts, I'm not sure what's wrong with your Captcha, but the background image is different too. Compare against this:

I take it you tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything? What other mods are you running?

Can I also make a suggestion? Your site looks great, but it took me a while to go to your listing of products. You should list the categories on the left column also, and perhaps make the top bars stand out more.

Thats is interesting about the image.

yes I have tried uninstalling the database & installing, and uploading the files again, with no avail. I would not be surprised one bit if it is a conflict of some fashion with another mod, as it was working fine,
and suddenly I noticed it was acting goofy.

I also thank you for your insight into my site navigation and have began changes in regard to it. it makes perfect sense
what you suggested.

Here is a list of mods I have installed:

supertracker
return authorization
recover cart sales
image handler
shipping & order export
backup mysql
google sitemaps
links manager - have modified version that will allow banners to be installed after this problem is resolved
multigeozone multitable shipping

I believe this is a complete list but I am recalling from memory.

"Enable this picture" problem.

Have searched this thread but when initially visiting the site with captcha enabled the image doesn't show and IE blocks saying it has stopped the content form loading because of a security certificate error.

You can enable the blocked content but this may put off visitors, is there a way for it just to load without the security warning?? Same happens in firefox.

any help would be appreciated.

found the problem ssl certificate belonged to https://www.mysite.com and my config was setup without as mysite.com

Welp, yet another week with no success on this issue. I have uninstalled, removed the files manually one at a time, reuploaded from a fresh downloaded copy from the downloads section, (Three Times as a matter of fact). and still it's acting funny as described. I am at a total loss and am considering dropping it totally. :lamo:

I am not code savvy enough to even think about toying with the code on this one. :frusty:

Has anyone else even heard of this hapenning before?

Is there anyone out there willing to help me figure it out?

F.Y.I. I have been fighting with this issue for just about a month now.

Hi Guys

Just installed this and all great :D except the REDRAW button submits the form in question so you get popup validation about the incomplete fields....

Can it not just redraw the image without submitting the form?

Am using CSS buttons in zen cart

also on the write review page i get a secure and non secure ssl message as that is on HTTPS mode?

Thanks
Jonathan

sorted *****************

HI - ive changed that one redraw buton to be a gif and it works.... fails for CSS as treats as a form submit btn.

still looking at the SSL on reviews tho

Fixed.

This mod works really well. Nice work!

The only issue that I have is that the captcha image always displays the same characters repeated six times. Any ideas on how to set this up to use random characters?

Thanks!

Enable this picture error

Before anyone says anything i have 2 zencarts on my site

in seperate directories of course , like the below
mysite/wholesale/
mysite/retail/

the older one captcha works perfectly however in the newer one I get the above error, the settings are virtually identical, yet one works and one doesn't

this is the contents of my captcha_img file

require('includes/application_top.php');

require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'captcha.php');
$captcha = new captcha();

$captcha->generateCaptcha();

Thats all there is, am i missing something obvious is there something else i should be checking

when i run the captcha_debug script the output for both sites is virtually identical, the only differences being where i altered colour ranges on the older version

Thanks

Ok I'm back

The captcha doesn't seem to work on my secure pages, but it does work on the nonsecure pages, anyone experienced this

The problem is as described in the previous post the only difference between the 2 stores is that the problematic one goes straight to the secure login page when you enetr it, whereas the working one doesn't

and again i am back

ok the problem seems to be,

If I set the shop to require people to login before browsing, the captcha doesn't work on the registration page

Hi,
I can't get this error. :( Wait some time - I will test it on another site.

Hi, great mod :clap: .... but I think I have the same problem as nigelt74. I have had to remove the captcha on the registration page because it causes the login page to not appear the screen just goes blank.

Also on another note if I install the captcha (or any other mod) on the contact_us page then the dropdown bar for the multiple address (I only have 2) doubles up the email address.

i.e. you shold see this

Customer Services
Webmaster

but you get this

Customer Services
Webmaster
Customer Services
Webmaster

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Do you really need this mod though?
I haven't received more than 1 spam mail/month from the contact form at all, and it may make the customers feel a bit uncomfortable. So well, if you don't get that many spam thru the form, don't install this.
You can always tweak your mail server to filter out most spams, more work on your side, but less for the customers.
