Consider making a "Captcha" tutorial?

Kayrocker 26 Jan, 2012
Hi Bob, could you please think about making a "Captcha" tutorial? Maybe I'm just not savvy enough to position "Events" properly.

I am having trouble just setting up simple Captcha verification in my form:

I want to:
1) Drag and place a Catcha action onto my event form.
2a) If the inputter inputs the wrong code, display "Wrong verification code," then reset the form.
2b) If the inputter inputs the correct code, display "Your information has been submitted. Thank you!", and the results are emailed to me.

This should be simple, right?

When testing it, I purposefully enter the wrong code, the result ends up being successful and sends the email.
So, I test some more actions, like "ReCaptcha" & "Event Loop," and when I enter the verification code, either a correct or incorrect one, it always results as wrong, and the form resets.

Why am having so much trouble with this simple script?! Please help!

Thanks,

Jeremy

Just found out, CAPTCHA is not working on my form as well

I also noticed the Field Name is not writeable ( it says chrono_verification)

Put from Core Captcha> Load Captcha in Events tab>On Load
and from Core Captcha> Check Captcha in Events tab>On Submit

Sorry, Bob. I followed the video's instructions and I'm still getting the "wrong verification code!" message, even though I'm entering the right one. I left all events & actions on their default settings.

Hi Kayrocker,

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.

Hi Kayrocker,

It works OK here :-( Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Bob
