Captcha using TTF & GD

schoolboy:

Anyone got ideas on how to get the image to display if (as Dennis points out above) the Customer Approval Status - Authorization Pending or Customer Shop Status - View Shop and Prices are set to 1 (must be authorized to browse) and/or (must login to browse).

I need the restrictions on access, but I ALSO need captcha...

I also need this - does anyone have a fix?

Hi,

I just used a_berezin's found_error_space.php debug script and I got this result:

Bad files - 8
Replace ending "?>" by "// EOF" ?

What does the 2nd line mean? And should I check it off to fix the files?

Thanks.

Where does one get "a_berezin's found_error_space.php" from?

TIA

I had the same thing .......and found somewhere a post by someone else saying that it was not working
all we get was the space where the image should be but no image
then i also uploaded the 3 php files that came with the captcha ttf download wich are captcha_debug.php captcha_img.php captcha_test.php once i ran those three files it all kicked in and worked perfect...... It didn't really state in the setup directions clearly that this step was needed but after i did that it all worked fine.

Nice work Andrew Berezin!

Hi - installed my Captcha and I have checked that all files are where they should be;
accessing the contact me page - the only captcha I have live - gives me a blank page, but when I check Captcha, run captcha _debug or captcha_test, I get the follwing error message:
1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'in:
Any halp will be apprciated

My Captcha is working just fine; however I would like a one-line explanation above the Captcha - how & where should I enter this?

Thank you very much for this Mod.

Just a minor question:
Any particular reason why the Redraw button is not an hyperlink?

Thanks.

Ive had Captcha installed for a while now and had noticed on my localhost windoze test machine that I often got an 'incorrect validation code message' for several attempts, even tho the code entered was correct. I have now had complaints from customers that they cannot log in due to the same problem on my Live site.
Ive now disabled CAPTCHA but getting the spambots again.
Any explanation why it works intermittently?

I have the same problem. Just noticed that if you do something wrong while creating an account (like leaving out your email address) you also get the 'incorrect validation code message' from CAPTCHA (which is not the case). Than after correcting the "mistake" (like putting an email address) and putting the new CAPTCHA code, again the'incorrect validation code message' from CAPTCHA pops up. This can go on for 3-5 times and than it accepts it. I am 100% sure that the code is correctly put...

anyone know why this could be happening?

MUtester,
In my case the error occurs even if the validation code IS correct.
and also in the scenario you have explained.

This is CRITICAL problem as it stops customers from shopping.!!

For now I decided to remove it from the create account page because of these errors and just hope not to get too many fake automated registrations... If anyone knows of a solution I would love to hear it...:smile:

Maybe I am going to undo all customization done by me (related to the CAPTCHA files and see if anything fixes the problem...but for now I can not be bothered...too much other fun stuff to do :smile:

See this link, entry #445 at bottom.

If you received "Error 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax" etc., as in posts 218 and 263, when you followed the instructions in this CAPTCHA module to "copy and paste" rather than use "upload" for "admin-tools-install SQL patches," that error will indeed be fixed by using "upload" in Zen Cart version 1.3.8a, as stated not too long ago in this thread.

If the instructions were upgraded to reflect this, it could save someone a bit of time in installing the SQL patch.

I am still wondering why the Redraw button is not an hyperlink?

Minor usability quibble. :)

First, I want to say Thank You very much, Andrew, for the add on.

The validation is working for me and my CAPTCHA image is showing up everywhere it's supposed to, however, I am having an issue where the redraw button will not redraw the CAPTCHA.

The redraw does work on the test page (http://www.totalcareersuccess.com/store/captcha_test.php), but it will not redraw on
any of the cart pages, such as create account (https://www.totalcareersuccess.com/store/index.php?main_page=create_account) or
contact us (http://www.totalcareersuccess.com/store/index.php?main_page=contact_us). If I reload the pages, the
CAPTCHA does redraw. I am using the following settings and modifications:

PHP Version 5.2.10
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Zend Engine v2.2.0
Zend Optimizer v3.3.9
GD Support enabled
FreeType Support enabled
cart template by Algozone
Configuration >> Layout Settings >> CSS Buttons = no

I have read every message in this thread, and implemented some of the suggestions, but the redraw still doesn't function. Is it possible that I need to add the code people use when they have CSS buttons turned on, even though I have that set to no in admin, because of the way the template handles the buttons? If you (or anyone) have any suggestions or need more information, please let me know.

Thanks,
Lissa

Thanks

Thank you very much

I had searched and had not been able to find it.

IF YOU LOOK HERE:

http://www.purelypoultry.com/contact_us.html

NO MATTER WHAT IF THE VERIFICATION CODE IS CORRECT OR NOT, IT KEEPS GIVING ME THE ERROR THAT IT IS INCORRECT.

I LOOKED FOR A WAY TO FIX THIS, BUT COULD NOT FIND ONE. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE TAKE A LOOK, OR GIVE ME ANOTHER WAY TO ADD CAPTCHA TO THIS WEBSITE.
