HEADER

Hi-- I have installed and built my first form very easily (using Joomla 1.0.15 Stable, ChronoForms V2.3.9 J1.0).

However, I would like to use a captcha on the form. I therefore edited my form, went to the anti spam tab and set the "Use Image Verification" to Yes. GD, Freetype and PNG support all show yes, and the sample captcha image displays fine.

When I save my changes and view my form from the front end, there is no captcha image displayed, and no form input for the captcha code. Do I have to manually add these fields?

Also, I tried to follow your FAQ on this topic, at this link, but when I attempt to edit the file /administrator/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php it does not exist!

Here is a listing of my com_chronocontact directory--

admin.chronocontact.html.php install.chronocontact.php
admin.chronocontact.php languages
chronocontact.class.php toolbar.chronocontact.html.php
chronocontact.xml toolbar.chronocontact.php
excelwriter uninstall.chronocontact.php
images

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

EDIT: I did find the chrono_verification.php in the root components/com_chronocontact directory (not in administrator/components/com_chronocontact as detailed in the FAQ). I modified it to text/html and the image shows up fine.

EDIT EDIT: Boy do I feel dumb. I read the tool tips on the anti spam tab and realized I had to add {imageverification} to the html in the form. I'll leave this here in the hopes that it helps someone else. However, I still am not sure why the captcha shows up on the right, and the input on the left. Is there a way to stylize this? I'll poke around the forum and hope I find an answer.

Hi pbass98,

I've just updated the FAQ to say that you need to add {imageverification} to your html code.

The only way to change the layout at present is to hack the ChronoForms html code. Not hard to do if you are OK with php.

thanks Bob. I hacked the php and it works fine. Nice component! I'll register as soon as the site goes live.

thanks
