[bitcloud]

Hey Sami,

Thanks for the help...
I replaced the font files with the ones from your original archives... somehow they got corrupted..

It all works now... cheers for saving me hour upon frustrating hour dealing with spammers and bots...

[joginvik]

Hi installed the mod with no probs

But i am a bit confused about changing who has to use the captcha. I have read the readme Doc and have found the code that I need to change which is this

Code Select Expand

  $CAPTCHA_DISABLE = array('login' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'register' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'comment' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'report' => 'Administrators',
        'ecard' => 'Administrators',

I only want new users who register for the first time to use the captcha and I dont want registered users  or admins to have to keep using the captcha do I just take out the "Registered' from the above code so that it looks like this

Code Select Expand

  $CAPTCHA_DISABLE = array('login' => 'Administrators,Registered',
       
       'comment' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'report' => 'Administrators',
        'ecard' => 'Administrators',

Can anybody help me with this please

[Sami]

Here is the array that shows captcha to Guest users only on all pages:

    $CAPTCHA_DISABLE = array('login' => 'Administrators,Registered',

        'comment' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'report' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        'ecard' => 'Administrators,Registered',
        );

Problem : the captcha image is not displayed, got a "red cross" instead of the image
Using IE6 at work, not tested with normal browser...

Test : http://gilles.wittezaele.fr/photos_mariage/ and can try to login or leave a comment...

[Sami]

@almoali:Please read documentation , here is the link to online version:
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#plugin_manager

@Gilles50110:Captcha is working , you have a client (browser) issue
- Disable any network security app that you have such as Norton & ZoneAlarm , .... they detect captcha image as an advertisement and removed it !

Is there a way to control the position of the captcha?

On my site it comes up and cuts off the box its asking you to type in. Making it look very messy.

If you are a coder , you can edit /plugins/captcha/codebase.php , under captcha_main function you'll find $newcpch variables  which is contain captcha image code for each pages, there you can change the code to fit with your design
Or
you can change your custom template width to fit

[phatair]

Hi,
i installed the captcha plugin without any problems about the plugin manager. i copyed the captcha.php in the gallery root directory.
If i go now as an guest to my picture comments the is still "anti spam protection" but no picture is shown.

the site is http://www.evol-eno.de/gallery/

i used the joomla bridge for Coppermine - is this a problem?

[phatair]

here debug code - i hope somebody can help me. Sorry for the double post - i don't find the "edit" button

Captcha is working fine for me there .
If you can't see the captcha image then it means something remove it from your browser (clinet issue)!
Please disable any internet security app such as Norton internet security , ZoneAlarm or any other type of adware remover

Note:Please do not post debug output unless you asked to do it.

[phatair]

hm...thanks for your help.

i tested it on 3 different PC's (home, office, friend) and 4 different Browsers (IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3) and on no config i see the captcha? I disabled Kaspersky Internet Security, AdBlock and so on....but i dont see the captacha 

Sorry for the debug post - i thought it will be helpful.

Check the german lang file for added whitespace.

[phatair]

Hi Nibbler, what excatly do you mean with "Check the german lang file for added whitespace."

[Sami]

You need to check "{gallery-root}/plugins/captcha/lang/german.php" and see if you have any empty line after php close tag (?>) and remove it

[phatair]

Hi Sami,
there are no empty lines in the language file. the php close tag is in the last line.
