Strange characters just before captcha - �

Hi Rodsdesign,

I'm guessing that you have an old version of ChronoForms - there was one release whwere there were 2-byte BOM codes at the start of some of the files. Open chrono_verification.php in a good text editor and see if you see some strange codes right at the beginning before the <?php - if there are delete them and re-save.

thanks for the prompt response (as usual)🙂

we're using 3.0 stable... (so old...) but there are no weird characters at the beginning of chrono_verification.php

I'll update shortly - see if that fixes it.

thanks!

ok - finally got around to upgrading.

we're on the latest version - and still getting the characters before the captcha.

there are no "weird characters" at the beginning of chrono_verification.php either.

here's a form: http://www.hutchcraft.com/a-roaring-camp-christmas-feedback

Interestingly enough - it only happens when the form is brought into an article using the plugin...

would love to clear this one up🙂

thanks

Hi rodsdesign,

If you open components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.html.php you should find this code around line 208. The two strange charactres appear to correspond to the two   entities in the code:
    if ( trim($MyForm->formparams('imagever')) == 'Yes' ) {
        $imver = '<input name="chrono_verification" style="vertical-align:top;" type="text" id="chrono_verification" value="" />
							  <img src="'.$CF_PATH
        .'components/com_chronocontact/chrono_verification.php?imtype='.$MyForm->formparams('imtype').'" alt="" />';
    }
