CF3 still storing submissions in DB Table when CAPTCHA fails

a.carter 23 Sep, 2011
Hello,

I have a form in Chronoforms 3.x that stores submissions in the DB table jos_chronoforms_signup.

If the user clicks submit and the captcha code is incorrect. it will show the "your security code was incorrect" error message but it still saves the entry in the DB. This is a problem because if the user then enters the correct Captcha, I have duplicate records.

Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi a.carter,

I'm having trouble understanding how this can happen. Are you using the built-in ImageVerification Captcha or the ReCaptcha plug-in?

the plugin is not active in the plugins tab. this is the html for the captcha.

<p class="clear">please input the text displayed on the image below.</p>
<p class="verify">{imageverification}</p>

if that helps?

Hi a.carter,

That looks fine to me . . .

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.

Thank you for looking into this.

Hi a.carter,

It's behaving OK here :-(

I do notice that you have both the CB & Joomla! Registration plug-ins enabled and you don't need both (the CB Registration includes a Joomla! User registration).

I don't see anything else that would cause problems.
