Validation image / captcha not showing

Postby spidernik84 on Mon May 05, 2008 2:17 pm

Hello,
i'm having some weird problems with image verification on the latest version of Chronoform (V2.5 J1.5 RC3.1) on Joomla 1.5.3.
Locally i've got no glitches, while after uploading the site the image simply doesn't show, like if something does not work.
Curious is the fact that diagnostic check seems right, as you can see from the screenshot i uploaded:

Hi spidernik84,

are your site in another language other than English ? recently a user with French website had the issue and the chrono_verification.php file encoding had to be set to UTF-8 to work!

Try to disable GZIP compression ? its the first time this issue is reported with J1.5!

Hello Max, thanks for your fast response, and sorry for my late one :)

Yes, the site is in italian language!
Don't know if i did right, I tried to force utf-8 changing the first line in components/chrono_verification.php from this (had to put spaces to prevent code parsing):
Code: Select all
< ? php


to this:

Code: Select all
< ? php header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8');


But still no go :|
I confirm, no gzip compression!

Cheers

Hi spidernik84,

Sorry for the delay, we had some problems with the forums to fix because it was not showing code correctly.

so, what I suggest is that you just open the file without any edits in notepad++ and then save it while specifying UTF-8, that should be the only trick needed, let me know!

Cheers

Hi Max,
thanks for answering.

I tried both saving in utf-8 and giving 777 permissions level, but no go!

I tried to open the file chrono_verification.php via browser, this error shows:

the image "mydomain/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php" cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

This image is not a pure text message, but an image itself!

Thank you again

Hi spidernik84,

Ok try the faq posted by Bob and see if it will tell anything special, if not then there is something odd and it must be tracked down with some debugging :s
