Good morning.
Looks like I am the only one who has that problem. I installed the CAPTCHA Mod. But if I test the registration or a guest posting there is only an empty picture shown without any characters. I still have the default settings on, didn't change anything, web save colors etc. So there is no code to see. :(

The other thing is just an information. If you use space characters for a file name you don't have to wonder, if it doesn't work with the file manager. Space characters are imho a crime for work at the web. It is a typical windows accommodativeness, but only works THERE without problems. ;)

Edit July 8th
I have changed each setting, but nothing changes. Still the empty picture.

Hello, i like to install CAPTCHA for Spam Entries prevention. But after installing via the Packet Manager, ther is no MOD Configuration and also no GD Image with the verifacation Code on the new theme site.

I use SMF1.0.7 and have GD2 and IM installed (GD also works for a Typo3 installation and a image gallery on my Domain; PHP Safe_Mode = off).

I like to use CAPTCHA for a nonregistered Forum. But after installing CAPTCHA, i can not safe a new entry "Unable to safe Entry"

What can i check/do to run CAPTCHA ?

Thanks for help

Christian

PS: Is it possible that CAPTCHA is not compatible with german Language packet ?

I've had problems after installing the mod and trying to regsiter it just shows a blank page. Runing SMF 1.07 and I've tried in on a Linux box and Mac OS X box and both display blank pages. Any ideas what's going on? I also tried it on a Linux box running PHP 5.05 an it had an error with can't duplicate object or class.

Your host should have GD and FreeType compiled in apache.

mokele

With Apache? I thought gd and freetype was suppose to be compiled with PHP? I've got a version of PHP compiled with gd and freetype and still gets blank page.

Have you checked it with:

<? php_info(); ?>

how to fix that problem:
An ERROR has occured with the CAPTCHA garbage collection!
Please notify the webmaster.

You'll probably get a much better answer by asking in the mod thread.

help  ???

zlocka, try CHMODding the CAPTCHA directory to 0777, and see if that solves your problem

I've just had the same error as zlocka.

I did a "chmod -R 777 captcha" and it solved it, though now the error has been replaced with:
"Unable to safe captcha-image."

edit:  "Unable to safe captcha-image." message was because I was running on an old copy of the database - oops!

I just transfered my forum today in a new server and found my CAPTCHA not working.
First I enabled the GD Library in my dedicated server, then another error appeared which was about garbage collection. What I did is uninstalled the CAPTCHA, delete the captcha folder and re-install captcha again. Now the pre-install warned me about test failure in ./Sources/ModSettings.php.

I opened the file and found the arrays of captcha still there. After creating a backup of the file and removed the array. I run the install ignoring the test failure and with all permissions set to 777, still captcha was nowhere to be found in ./Sources/ModSettings.php.

So I just restore the ModSettings.php backup and now it's working again.   ;)

this is the same exact problem I am having. Did we ever figure out a fix? is there any way to make this work? my users are pretty much demanding that I install this, we were hit by a gay porn spambot a couple days ago and i need to get this in place.

What if you disabled the check box for 'Enable Noise' and 'Web safe colours' ?

did that, still just a bunch of blank boxes where the characters should be

Harzem

Can you provide a link to your forum?

Kettu

As I already said, I have changed everything changeable, but still the empty picture appeared. No character or numbers where shown with 1.1 RC2 and normal installation through package manager.
So I deleted the CAPTCHA after none answered to my problem.

I just installed this on SMF 1.0.7.

Nothing happened. I'm absolutely sure the mod is installed and applied. And when I go to the registration screen, there is simply nothing new on it, no section asking for a code, nothing.

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I'm also using the mambo bridge - which however uses forum registration, so that should work I figured?

Any suggestions?

Bigguy

Don`t you turn off smf registration when using the bridge and register through that. ???

tinatoth

It is set to SMF registration!

Captcha seems to actually partially work, if I try to proceed with a registration, it tells me I didn't type the right code in. But the actual registration page contains only the username, email and password fields. No code field.

If it helps, the captcha directory and its tmp subdirectory are chmodded 777, and I have GD and Free Type:

QuoteGD Support    enabled
GD Version    bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support    enabled
FreeType Linkage    with freetype
FreeType Version    2.1.4
GIF Read Support    enabled
GIF Create Support    enabled
JPG Support    enabled
PNG Support    enabled
WBMP Support    enabled
XPM Support    enabled
XBM Support    enabled

any ideas?

MacGig

how do I install? is it safe for 1.07?? thanks. :)
