Hi Saurabh,

Turn Validation on in the Validation tab, then put {imageverification} in your form html where you want the code to appear.

I have lots of forms and would like to add a Captcha. So, as I test, I created a small test form, just adding a text line, a captcha ({imageverification} and a SUBMIT button (using the from wizzard), and a sample email to send it. I then pointed a menu to get to this form. When the form appears, I see no Captcha image at all on the form, only the Text that is next to where I would expect the image should be. And yes, Validation is on. What else must I do that I have not, because this is simply not working for me. Running 1.5.8 release of Joomla. Thanks.

Hi orubin,

Please open the form for editing and enable the image verification under the Anti spam tab! its the first option there!

Thanks Max. That was already enabled as well (per your other message above). I forgot to say that I guess, but I did read the rather short string of messages first.

But I am now beginning to think this has something to do with the lack of the GD support for php5. I note that in the Anti-Spam tab, the following items have no status after them:
GD Version
FreeType Support
PNG Support
Sample image:

These are all blank.

I tried to install the libraries by doing a "apt-get install php5-gd" but that just returned a bunch of errors and file not found error.

In fact, I noticed that EVERY Captcha I have tried to use does not work, but no one seems to address GD support.

To solve all these problems, I ran an update on my Ubuntu system, and then retried the php5 gd libraries, which now worked correctly. Once installed, everything worked fine.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Owen,

Great, glad you fixed it!🙂

Hi Owen,

That makes perfect sense. GD seems to be installed by default most of the time with PHP5 so this problem is far less frequent that it was with PHP4.

Hi Bob,

That is what I thought, but it seems in Ubuntu, the standard php5 install did not include GD libraries, and strangely, until I updated Joomla to the newest release, it could not even find the install package, giving an error when I tried to install.

Thanks for the help and pointers. happy to have it working now.

Hi Owen,

I think there is XAMPP for linux Ubuntu, I had it running on 8.10, XAMPP is the easiest and fastest way to have a server running for development so you don't have alot of problems every while!
