Captcha bug

EvertVd 29 Jun, 2011
I have been struggling with a form for 2 days when I finally found the problem.
The form kept coming back telling me I didn't enter the captcha correctly. The problem was that I had changed the name-attribute of the captcha from "chrono_verification" into "Captcha". As soon as I changed it back the form worked again.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended behaviour, but I thought I'd mention it anyway?

Hi Evert,

ChronoForms uses the name to get the value of the Captcha input when the form is submitted. If you change it, then the Captcha can't be checked.

I have many instances of Chronoforms on my website in modules, and they have been working flawlessly for weeks.

Now all of a sudden, none of the captcha's will verify.

I haven't changed anything on the website, let alone the chrono_verification

I have reinstalled Chronoforms V4 R1.9, I've tried different browsers, I have tried both Truetype and non-truetype letters and still I'm getting no verification. It's like overnight, they all stopped working.

Please help. How do I turn on a debug so I can send an error log.

Hi spanners,

When you say they've stopped working what exactly happens?

It sounds as though your ISP/ web host may have changed something. Most likely they have done something with mod_security that is now blocking the ImageVerification images. Best ask them to check.

Hi Mr Grey,

I have a problem w/ Captcha verification and I can not figure out what should be the problem.
The form loads and submits fine when the captcha is not used however it gets into a "wrong captcha" loop whenever I try to use verification.
name-attribute is correct
what else should I try to check or any idea to overcome this annoying verification loop?

On load events: load captcha, show html

On Submit: Check captcha (OnSuccess, OnFail/Event Loop), DB save, Emails, Show Thank you

OnFail is configured: Target Event: OnLoad, Quit next actions: Yes

Hi endrus,

Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.
