[Vasily B.]

Hi
Here is the mod to have captchas on contact us page:

*** open contacts.tpl and find the following code ***

<input type="submit" name="contact" value="{$lang.submit}" /></td>

*** insert the following code before ***

{if $config.captcha}
	<p class="field"><img src="{$config.base}{$config.dir}plugins/captcha/image.php" />
<input type="text" name="security_code" /></p>
{/if}

*** save changes ***

*** open contacts.php and find the following code ***

/** requires common header file **/
require_once('header.php');

*** insert the following before ***

session_start();

*** find the following code ***

if (!$error)
{
	$gDirDb->addContact(addslashes($fullname), addslashes($email), addslashes($body));
	$msg = "[*]{$gDirLang['contact_added']}";
}

*** add the following code before ***

/** check for captcha **/
if ($gDirConfig['captcha'])
{
	$sc1 = $_POST['security_code'];
	$sc2 = $_SESSION['pass'];
	if (strcmp($sc1, $sc2))
	{
		$error = true;
		$msg .= "[*]{$gDirLang['error_captcha']}";
	}
}

*** save changes ***

Guess what!

I still cant see my captcha

Fed up today..think i will go back to bed

[Vasily B.]

did you delete .htaccess file in your plugins directory?

[Loren]

no hun i didn't because i didn't have .htaccess file in there but i have solved it!


For some reason i opened my config.inc.php folder and was looking down the list...in the vain hope i would see an anomaly and i happened to look at

$gDirConfig['captcha'] = '0';

so i thought that strange considering everything has been installed, and others had '1' so i changed the code to this

$gDirConfig['captcha'] = '1';

and blow me down...that was the problem! Why or how i don't know but if anyone else is having the same problem check that file and that line

[Vasily B.]

hmm, you should have the following option in your admin panel->configuration->general configuration

Captcha

You should have enabled captchas there
Anyhow I'm very glad you have solved that problem

[Loren]

I had enabled it there thats the bizarre thing!

[Vasily B.]

really strange :unsure:

The codes inserted into contacts.tpl should be like this.

{if $config.captcha}
<p class="field"><img src="{$config.base}{$config.dir}plugins/captcha/image.php" alt="captcha" /><br /><input type="text" name="security_code" /></p>
{/if}
