Captcha (Visual Confirmation) for comments/registration/reporting/login/ecard

[twinznavy]

oki now it works

I had edited something inside captcha.php as I read on
forum

there was someone who wrote that I had to take away this

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

leave it to the back-to-date te 1.4.25 to now it works

this is good
so i hope to clear all the fake users

thanks for all the support 

[tjiepie]

I see the Captcha tool on the login and the register page.
I don't see the Captcha tool by the comment box

[Joachim Müller]

Then read the readme and perform the needed edits

[missparis]

I can't see the captcha image on the registration page, so when people try to register they got the error "confirmation code didnt match". I followed the intructions of this post http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.msg225008.html#msg225008 but nothing happened.  :-\
Link of my gallery: http://www.melinda-clarke.org/gallery/.
Thanks.

The first thing you need to do is upgrade. Your Coppermine version is out of date and vulnerable.
If you allow people to register with this old release then you will allow your site to be compromised.
(It is still vulnerable without new users too)

<!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.18 (stable)-->

After you upgrade you will need to "fix" your theme.

As you can see......
The captcha displays fine on this page: http://www.melinda-clarke.org/gallery/register.php?theme=classic

[missparis]

Thanks for the reminder!  I just upgraded my gallery.

Well I will try to fix the theme, because since the upgrade the captcha image is not the only thing that does not work  :-\.
Thanks again.

SOLVED

I had big problems with this plug-in before getting it to work.

So hopefully I can help others by telling what I did:

1. Problem was that the image and text didn't show up at the registration page at all - solved by this post http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.msg225008.html#msg225008

2. Problem was that image didn't show. Only a red cross. In the time I was searching for a solution my login timed out. So now I couldn't even log in again, because I couldn't see image. In the future maybe login confirmation should be disabled by default when installing.

3. Tried to delete the SQL table as mentioned in this post http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.msg170592.html#msg170592 - now I could log in again.

4. Changed the settings in file codebase.php so that this problem wouldn't occur again.

Code Select Expand

    $CAPTCHA_DISABLE = array('login' => 'Administrators,Registered,Anonymous',´
        'register' => 'Administrators,Registered,Anonymous',
        'comment' => 'Administrators,Registered,Anonymous',
        'report' => 'Administrators',
        'ecard' => 'Administrators',
        );

5. I tried Installing and Uninstalling the plug-in several times - no luck.

6. Found that you can put the code to a file instead of a picture.
Find this in captcha.class.php

Code Select Expand

      function Create($sFilename = '') {


Change to

Code Select Expand

      function Create($sFilename = 'test.jpg') {


This way i could check that the everything worked, because the code was actually made in the jpg file. Hmmmm OK thats one step further.
NOTE: File can be found in the root folder and the picture will NOT show until you remove this 'test.jpg' again. Only one is allowed at the same time - file OR picture.
I have no idea why this was working with the file, but not with the picture on the page itself. Maybe someone can answer this?

7. Looked through this huge thread trying to find a solution - at the moment it's 40 pages big. Found this post from Nibbler

2) Clean the output buffer just before the image is displayed.
captcha.php
Find:

Code Select Expand


$code = $oPhpCaptcha->Create();


Change to

Code Select Expand


ob_end_clean();
$code = $oPhpCaptcha->Create();


8. SUCCESS - now everything worked and now I just changed the configuration in codebase.php to the settings I would like to have on my page.

9. Attached is also the Danish translation of the confirmation messages - Huge job to translate 

Hope that this is helpful to someone. I found this solution by searching the board!
Not saying it's the fastest solution, but remember that the members here is helping because they would like to help - NOT because they have to!!!

Plugin works great on www.ddofaces.com

Thanks ! =)

[Izzie Stevens]

I want the confirmation code for all users, how can i do that?

[Joachim Müller]

Read the readme file that comes with this plugin first. Then respect board rules. Sounds familiar?

[pbuenger]

Hello all,

I am just trying to enable Captcha on my gallery. http://www.mausfang.de/bilder/cpg/

It works fine at the registration, but is not shown at the comments input. When guests try to enter a comment, they get the error message, that they haven't entered the captcha code. But there isn't either a picture nor an input field, in all themes.

I read the readme.txt and also copied the captcha.php to the coppermine-root.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

[Joe Carver]

I was able to enter a comment without seeing any captcha action. Did not see a registration link either.
Re-enable and re-post - someone might be able to help you.

[pbuenger]

Oh, I'm sorry, was just playing around with this plugin. Now it is enabled for comments, but there is no input field an no picture. You can change the theme to classic, or whatever else, but it isn't visible in any theme.

Peter

[andy_cul]

i was able to isolate what cause you Don't see captcha in registration page it was this mod Right Click Menu v2.0.1 (Stable) now i dont know how to remove this plugin without login in to admin. anyone has the solution?

even if i did this fix http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,36319.msg225008.html#msg225008 still the image capcha wont show.

thanks

[Joachim Müller]

You've been told about borad rules so often that it really hurts. For the thousandth time: Board rules / Forum policies: Post Links

[Jinnie]

I'm at a loss. I installed this here: http://staintalk.com/stainart

But it didn't show up under Registration, and the link provided on this thread must've been for an outdated version, because the command lines don't match.

Then my login timed out, and I can't log back in as admin to uninstall it, because that's also requiring captcha that isn't showing.

I was able to get to debug mode via PHPMyAdmin: (from login.php)

  Please help. I just want to get rid of this plugin. Do I have to completely uninstall Coppermine and start over? I didn't make up a backup like I would for mods because I assumed these were more stable.
  
  Thanks in advance.

[Joe Carver]

In the future please do not post debug output unless it is requested. That only makes a posting difficult to read, takes up extra space and electrons.

When trying to run captcha.php in your gallery root the response is:

Fatal error: Class 'PhpCaptcha' not found in /home/staintal/public_html/stainart/captcha.php  on line 27

You should first try uploading a clean copy of the plugin files and especially the file captcha.php as instructed.

It is possible that your theme or lang. file(s) are interfering. If that is the case and the above does not work then use your phpmyadmin to delete the record of the plugin from "cpg_plugins", then login and delete the plugin.
