Wrong Image Verification Clears Form Data

I have posted before about this issue and adding the post value in my form fields does not prevent an incorrect image verification from clearing my form data. I have added:

<input name="name" value="<?php echo $_POST['name']; ?>">

I previously had a Javascript onSubmit to check for missing fields, which I have removed for testing this problem.

My Submit URL field on the Form URLs tab is blank (default).

I am using version 1.0. Do I need to upgrade to get this to work, or make some modifications to the code? Help would be greatly appreciated as this is a big problem. Thank you.

Hi drcleave,

Notexa and I worked this out in this thread a few days ago. It's a bit messy, I'll pull it together into a FAQ when I have a few minutes.

BTW: your Java Script validation code shouldn't affect this, the ImageValidation takes place on the server side for security and only triggers once the Java Script validation is complete.

Later: add the work-around to this FAQ

I have upgrade to version 2.3 and have made modifications to the chronocontact.php file based on the Hints & Tips FAQ post (How can I keep the form data with ImageValidation?), but the image validation still does not work. I have it turned on with the {imageverification} code added to my form. When I submit the form, I receive the email, but the form submits if an incorrect image code is entered, or if it is left blank. Am I missing something?

Hi,

We will have this implemented in v2.3 stable, please wait for it in the next couple of days🙂

Cheers
