Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for adding comments

[Abbas Ali]

Remove

Code Select Expand


include('include/init.inc.php');


from captcha.php and see if it works.

[nerrick]

The line that you mentioned was not in the captcha.php file on my server. I did find the following line which i removed but I am sorry to say it did not fix the problem.

require("include/init.inc.php");

[Nibbler]

You have whitespace after the closing php tag in the theme.php. Remove it.

[nerrick]

Ok i removed the whitespace and the photos are loading again but the visual confirmation text still does not show up.

Any ideas? http://www.nerrick.com/photos/chaptcha.php

[Abbas Ali]

http://www.nerrick.com/photos/captcha.php shows errors. I have come across similar errors on few occasions and no solution as yet. The problem is that function imageftbbox fails to open the font file.

[JustKia]

Is it possible to have the captcha confimation only for unregistered users only?
for example allow registered users to post a comment freely, but unregistered users have to fill in the visual confirmation.

[Abbas Ali]

Read through this thread from starting. I think someone has posted how to do that.

[superdave]

hi abbas

i tried using this as a plugin, but got 'confirmation didn't match' errors constantly.

i want to try the mod, but i'm using ipodlounge theme and i can't figure out how to make the changes to the theme.php.

you said do this:

Code Select Expand

##############

Edit themes/yourtheme/theme.php

Add
Code:

'{CONFIRM}' => $lang_display_comments['confirm'],


just after
Code:

'{COMMENT}' => $lang_display_comments['comment'],


Add
Code:

<tr>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    {CONFIRM}
  </td>
  <td class="tableb_compact" colspan="2">
    <input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">
  </td>
</tr>


just after
Code:

<!-- END input_box_no_smilies -->
                                </td>
                                <td class="tableb_compact">
                                <input type="hidden" name="event" value="comment" />
                                <input type="hidden" name="pid" value="{PIC_ID}" />
                                <input type="submit" class="comment_button" name="submit" value="{OK}" />
                                </td></tr>

how can i add this code to my theme.php for ipodlounge?

[Hein Traag]

Zip your theme.php and attach it to a post. We can then take a look at your file and see what's wrong.

[superdave]

I got Server Not Found

[XeoX]

Hello!

I have the same problem with captcha - there is no confirmation code image on the page, though there should be. It worked about 3 weeks ago, but there was a server error and after that I have had problems with it. The address of my page is http://xeox.pri.ee/ and captcha.php is in http://xeox.pri.ee/plugins/captcha/captcha.php, but it's empty. What is the problem?

I'd apprichiate if you could help. If there is anything else you need, just ask.

Best wishes,
M

[agnes1983]

Thanks for this mod!
Now I never have to delete 200 spam comments every day.

But I still have a question: where can I edit the width of the code-field?

But I still have a question: where can I edit the width of the code-field?

Its in the changes you made in theme file

Code Select Expand


<input type="text" name="confirmCode" size="5" class="textinput"> <img src="captcha.php" align="middle">


Change the size attribute to whatever you like.

[____Alma____]

First I want to thank you for this great work that these doing, and second forgives my English I am using a translator.

I have the chapta installed, and can see it perfectly in the browser but in the commentaries the option does not appear, probably could help your me, and to say to me in what I have been wrong, I put the code of my theme that I believe that és here where the mistake is.

I can see the captcha image while adding comments. I also added a comment and it worked fine.

http://almaweb.es/Mi_album/displayimage.php?pos=-550

Did you solved the problem?
