Using Captcha in another form

[Shannon Hutcheson]

I have a few other forms for my website that I'd like to use the esyndicat built in captcha option. These forms are already included in the esyndicat templates via the new page feature.

What specific code do I need to include within the form tags to get the captcha to work with my own forms?

here's one of the forms I want to include the captcha feature on:
http://www.cattery-index.com/links/plink_exchange.html

p.s. I'm getting majorly spammed via this form. I'd appreciate an answer on this asap :sos:

Sorry for delay with answer :( Here is a solution:
1. Open your form action php file (feedback.php in your case)
a) after "<?php" add the following line:
session_start();
b) ad the following code where is POST processing (I can not say exactly place as I didn't see you php file):
/** check for captcha **/
if ($gDirConfig['captcha'] && ('add' != $_POST['action']))
{
$sc1 = $_POST['security_code'];
$sc2 = $_SESSION['pass'];
if (strcmp($sc1, $sc2))
{
$error = true;
$msg .= " {$gDirLang['error_captcha']}";
}
}
***save changes***

2. Open tpl file where is form located
***find the following code:***
<input type="submit" bla bla bla />
***before add,***
<p class="field">{$config.base}{$config.dir}plugins/captcha/image.php
<input type="text" name="security_code" /></p>
***save***
That's all!

There is no feedback.php file in my install, anywhere.

oops, started another thread. Didn't know how to see the old ones after the forum switched.

Simon is helping me in the other thread. Can close this one or merge them I suppose.
