Anti Spam image problem and a question

Sc

First of great product here you guys have done a wonderful job. Secondly it is nice to see such a helpful community.

(ok now that I am done with the ass kissing😛 )

I simply can't see the image for the Anti Spam feature. I changed my session handler to none. When I submit my form it says I have entered the wrong verification code. I do use a custom template for Joomla, but its nothing super special. Any help in getting this to work would be great since any reduction in spam is awesome.

Now on to my question. Is there any way to make so that the email address that a person enters into the form gets added to the 'reply to' field so that when I get the email and I click reply their email is automatically put in the 'To:' field of Outlook.

I used the test_form.cfbak provided on your site and added

Your message:</label>
<br />
<textarea cols="80" rows="15" class="text_area" 
  id="message" name="Message"> </textarea><br />

so that there is a text box for a message. It would be great to not have to cut and paste to respond to an email.

Thanks in advance

Hi Scootie,

Do you see the image on the AntiSpam tab in the Form Manager - there are some diagnostics there? If it still doesn't show then there is a FAQ with another test you can try.

You can insert the user's email address into the ReplyTo email - BUT we strongly recommend that you don't do this. Many ISPs check this address and will drop the email or mark it as spam if the domain isn't recognised.

Instead we suggest that you build a replyto link into the email so you can click on that to get a new email - it is possible to add subject and even body in there using a mailto: link.

Hi I have the same issue with the image verification. This used to work fine but now will only dispay a red cross. I am using Joomla 1.0 and I have upgraded Chrono forms to 2.3.9. Any ideas or pointers of how I can reinstate this would be much appreciated. Regards

Hi Boxster,

Does it change if the type of image is with or without fonts?

Please edit components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php and temporarily change line 29 from

header("Content-type: image/png");

to

header("Content-type: "text/html");

. Then browse to {your_domain}/components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?imtype=1 and see if you get any useful error messages.

No its the same whatever I select.

I am also not sure how to find the code that you suggest that I edit?

Cheers

The code is from your website root under this path :
