Hi,

I hae set up some Forms with Chronoforms and I am using cptacha. It seems that it works fine, when I use a Form as a menu item but cpatche does not work (always fails to validate entered captcha-Code and saying "Wrong captcha code!") when I am using it with {chronoforms}{/chronoforms}.
I am thiking that it must be a CF bug since it is working on toher party of the same website properly. I have already disabled email cloaking plugin and set the session handler to none.
Any clues?

I am Using Joomla 1.5.18 and CF 4.
Thx,
Dan

Hi Dan,

ChronoForms v4 shouldn't work with Joomla! 1.5.18?

I suggest that you re-enable the session handler as I think ChronoForms uses the session to store the Captcha code.

Hi greyhead,

thank you. But I disabled the session handler, because it did not work with it enabled. So it did not change anything. Well, I solved the problem by not using the {chronoforms}{/chronoforms}-method.

But here is another thing you may help me with: When I get the code of a form and put it in my site (in an html-custom module for example), everything is displayed well besides the captcha image. It is not displayed, instead there is to read {chronocaptcha_img}. Any ideas how to change that?
Thx,
Dan

Hi Dan,

You probably don't have a Load Captcha action in the On Load event.

Please check the Using Captcha video here

Hi Bob,


please check sreenshots from Form Wizard and appearance in front end. And again: It just does not work when I copy the code and insert it. When I use the form on Chronoforms-module or as meu item, all is finde. But I would like to use the code...

ghere the frontend appearance

Hi docschmitti,

The settings look OK 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.

This may be your website's cache since you are using the plugin method!

I think it's a bug in the article embedding plugin or, as MS would call it : a feature.

If it doesn't work when joomla cache is enabled, it should check for it and warn the user that it won't work if caching is enabled.

Or, you could improve the captcha code to load dinamically, as in qcontacts or other captcha systems, and make it work.

this message is meant just as a constructive critic, showing a way to improve your gorgeous chronoforms engine.

Hi Robert,

I believe that the problem here was that the Joomla cache has taken a copy of the page before the captcha was enabled, and you wouldn't be able to see the changes (captcha enable) before the cache expires or purged.

The captcha already "loads" dynamically, problem occur when you submit the form, its submitted to the same url, Joomla doesn't reprocess the PHP in the cached page, its just displaying the stored copy of HTML, and so no captcha "check" is done, or even emails sending..etc, I don't know anyway to avoid this problem.
