Hello,

I installed captcha with joomla 1.0.12. and CB1.0.2
No major problem except recently, one user can't see the image displayed by captcha and this on 2 computers, at work and at home, apparently using IE6.
As this is the only person with the problem I don't understand what happens. Why only her can't see this image? I'm afraid it could happen with other people... (To note this person is from China but the other users as well and have no problem)
The website is www.asian-addict.com

thanks for any help

If I disable "registration" in the plugin back-end, I still get this error during registration. The only fix is to unpublish the plug-in. Do we know anything about this scenario? I'd love to use the captcha plug-in.

it mentions one known case that this happens.

Nick A. was correctly chastising me for not reading the entire thread. (I did read a lot of it, Nick. It's just a really long thread!)

Are you using the JSMF bridge for the SMF forum software? If so, you have to go into SMF admin and disable "use database for sessions."

If you're not using JSMF, I have no idea what's wrong.

As a sidenote, this issue (plus being reminded that Joomlapolis itself uses Joomlaboard) finally caused me to abandon JSMF and go with Joomlaboard for a site forum. JSMF is a heroic piece of work, but I've had it with bridges and patching core Joomla files.

I hadn't used Joomlaboard in more than a year. It's not bad at all.

Hack to use the cb Captcha on the Joomla Contact form

This worked for me, your experience may vary.

Joomla version 1.0.12
CB version: 1.0.2
CB Captcha plugin version: 1.0 (14.Feb.2007)

Files to hack:

/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcaptcha/cb.captcha.php

/components/com_contact/contact.html.php

/components/com_contact/contact.php

1. cb.captcha.php
Since we're using the plugin code outside of the CB plugin framework we need to put all the $_PLUGINS->registerFunction() calls in an if statement like so:

if ($_PLUGINS) {
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onBeforeRegisterForm',	'onBeforeRegisterForm',	'getcaptchaTab' );
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onBeforeUserRegistration','onBeforeUserRegistration', 'getcaptchaTab' );
 
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onLostPassForm', 		'onLostPassForm',				'getcaptchaTab' );
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onLostPassForm', 		'onLostPassFormB',				'getcaptchaTab' );
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onBeforeNewPassword',	'onBeforeNewPassword',	'getcaptchaTab' );
 
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onAfterEmailUserForm', 		'onAfterEmailUserForm',	'getcaptchaTab' );
	$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onBeforeEmailUser',	 'onBeforeEmailUser', 'getcaptchaTab' );
}

2. contact.html.php

Around line 685 (after the contact text textarea) insert this code:

// hack - added CB captcha to the contact form
require_once($mosConfig_absolute_path.'/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.php');
require_once($mosConfig_absolute_path.'/components/com_comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_cbcaptcha/cb.captcha.php');
$cbCaptcha = new getcaptchaTab;
$CaptchaImage = $cbCaptcha->_getHTMLcaptcha();
echo "<br />\n" .$CaptchaImage. "<br />\n";
echo "	<label for=\"security_code\">" . _UE_CAPTCHA_Label . ":</label>\n";
echo "	<br /><input class=\"inputbox\" type=\"text\" name=\"".$cbCaptcha->_getPagingParamName("captcha"«»)."\"  id=\"security_code\" value=\"\" size=\"20\" />\n";
// end hack

3. contact.php

At the top of the file, before the switch statement insert:

// hack start a session here for the security images
if ( ! session_id() ) {
	session_start();
}
// end hack

Then around line 435 after:

if ( !$email || !$text || ( JosIsValidEmail( $email ) == false ) ) {
	mosErrorAlert( _CONTACT_FORM_NC );
}

and before:

	$prefix = sprintf( _ENQUIRY_TEXT, $mosConfig_live_site );

Insert:

// RP hack captcha check
if ( ! (($_SESSION['security_code'] == mosGetParam($_REQUEST,"captcha"«»)) && (!empty($_SESSION['security_code'])) ) ) {
	mosErrorAlert( "Invalid Security Code" );
}
// end hack

That's it - enjoy a secure contact form.
